Track the centreline
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: sink rate 1,335 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, centreline 4.2° off, against a 1° limit and wings 21° of bank, against a 10° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.1° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,291 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,291 m of the 2,498 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 741 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at SBPJ Brigadeiro Lysias Rodrigues Airport was a swift process, taking less than a minute to cover the short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then began its departure roll on runway 14, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 164 knots within a short distance of 1,085 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 25°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into the enroute phase, reaching an altitude of 2,749 feet above sea level after a 2-minute climb from 1,663 feet. This ascent covered a distance of 6 nautical miles, with the aircraft maintaining a steady climb rate. Later, the aircraft began its descent, reducing its altitude from 2,823 feet to 1,407 feet over a 2-minute period and covering 4 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 14 was initiated from the northwest, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 127.0° at an altitude of 649 feet above ground level and 2 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down 317 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 110 knots. The touchdown rate was a perfect -45 feet per minute, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 2,202 meters, accounting for 88% of the runway's length. The aircraft's performance was further highlighted by its efficient fuel consumption, using a total of -6,546 kilograms of fuel for the 14-nautical-mile flight that lasted 6 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 14 at SBPJ Brigadeiro Lysias Rodrigues Airport with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 126 kt. The approach quality was good, with a touchdown height that met expectations. The touchdown point was 317 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The touchdown speed of 110 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -45 fpm was perfect, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to the 6 kt crosswind from the left. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. The total landing distance of 2,202 meters was 88% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range.
Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 89.8%. The approach and touchdown phases were executed well, but the slight misalignment during touchdown and the over-run distance were notable. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 31°C and a 6 kt headwind, may have contributed to the slight deviations from the target performance.
