Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 13 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3.2° glideslope and speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,185 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 573 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 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-MAX8, then departed from runway 10L at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport in São Paulo, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 1,460 meters, which is 41% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 11°C temperature and a 5-knot headwind at 50°. The enroute climb started 1 mile northeast of the airport and reached an altitude of 38,122 feet above sea level, an increase of 34,612 feet in 20 minutes, covering 142 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise began 15 miles south of SB4P Lavras Lavras in Minas Gerais, Brazil, and lasted 72 minutes, covering 620 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent 16 miles southeast of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, and descended from 38,325 feet to 37,558 feet in 2 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise resumed 7 miles southeast of SBSV Deputado Luiz Eduardo Magalhães International Airport in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 14 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 5 miles east of SBZZ Jauá Airport Lauro de Freitas, Bahia, Brazil, and descended from 37,088 feet to 25,585 feet in 5 minutes, covering 45 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 14 miles southeast of SIZA Parque Manoelito Argolo Airport Entre Rios, Bahia, Brazil, and lasted 2 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 5 miles southwest of Conde, Bahia, Brazil, and descended from 24,890 feet to 1,307 feet in 12 minutes, covering 62 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12 at SBAR Aracaju - Santa Maria International Airport was from the west, heading 92.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,270 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 12, which is 2,185 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was a little below target at 128 knots.
The touchdown point was 156 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 125 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was fair at -270 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 25°C temperature and a 15-knot crosswind at 169°.
The total landing distance was 1,087 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 917 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 121 minutes. The aircraft used 4,558 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-MAX8 aircraft successfully landed at SBAR Aracaju - Santa Maria International Airport, with a score of 86.7%. The final approach to runway 12 was initiated from the west, heading 92.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,270 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,185 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 128 knots. The touchdown point was 156 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which indicates that the aircraft landed slightly short of the intended position. The touchdown speed of 125 knots was considered good, but the touchdown rate of -270 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. This suggests that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher rate of descent than desired.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 25°C, a wind speed of 15 knots at 169°, resulting in a crosswind of 14 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,087 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance, but may have experienced some difficulties with braking or alignment. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that caused the initial touchdown position to be off-center.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly with regards to touchdown speed and rate, and alignment with the runway centerline.
