Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 568 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 20L at Santos Dumont Airport, with a takeoff distance of 835 meters, which was 63% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 142 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 32 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots at 170 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 13 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Rio de Janeiro, and climbed from 1,048 feet above sea level to 34,804 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,755 feet, in 13 minutes and covering 60 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 12 miles north of Pinheiral, and lasted 7 minutes, covering 33 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its first descent, starting 20 miles south east of Baependi, and descended from 34,512 feet above sea level to 24,960 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,552 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 22 nautical miles. This was followed by another enroute level cruise, starting 1 mile north west of Porto Real, and lasting 8 minutes, covering 53 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its second descent, starting 8 miles south east of Guaratingueta, and descended from 24,526 feet above sea level to 15,785 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,741 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 20 nautical miles. Another enroute level cruise followed, starting 11 miles south east of SBTA Base de Aviação de Taubaté Taubaté, and lasting 2 minutes, covering 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its third descent, starting 11 miles south east of Cacapava, and descended from 15,373 feet above sea level to 8,876 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,497 feet, in 3 minutes and covering 18 nautical miles.
The next enroute level cruise started 5 miles north of Santa Branca, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its fourth descent, starting 2 miles south west of Jacarei, and descended from 8,248 feet above sea level to 3,729 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,519 feet, in 6 minutes and covering 22 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 28L at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport was made from the east, heading 254.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,268 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 28L, which had a length of 2,996 meters. The threshold height at 74 feet above ground level was well above target, and the threshold speed was slightly above target at 139 knots.
The touchdown point was 156 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 130 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -426 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 17 knots at 160 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 17 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,390 meters, which was 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centreline. The
The aircraft in question, an Embraer E195, successfully landed at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport on runway 28L. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 254.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored an overall grade of 85.8%.
One of the notable aspects of the landing was the aircraft's approach to the runway threshold. The threshold height was found to be well above the target, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a safe altitude during its descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 139 knots, which may have been a result of the aircraft's approach configuration or the wind conditions.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory. The touchdown point was located 156 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 130 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -426 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 160°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 17 knots and a tailwind component of 1 knot. Despite these challenging conditions, the aircraft's landing performance was satisfactory.
The total landing distance of 1,390 meters was 46% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was found to be slightly misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centerline, indicating that the aircraft may have deviated from the intended path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Embraer E195's landing performance at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport was satisfactory, with a score of 85.8%. While there were some minor deviations from the target values, the aircraft's performance was generally good, and it was able to maintain a safe and controlled approach and landing.
