Slow down before tight turns
See Arrival Taxi
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,558 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,558 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 376 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 13 at SBLO Governador José Richa Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,124 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 144 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from 189 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile east of SBLO Governador José Richa Airport. The climb took 15 minutes to reach a height of 32,531 feet above sea level, an increase of 29,678 feet from the initial altitude of 2,853 feet. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 95 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 9 miles northwest of SDJG Fazenda Ponte Preta Airport. This phase lasted for 10 minutes and covered a distance of 71 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began 8 miles southeast of SIZG Fazenda Encontro das Águas Airport. The descent took 26 minutes to reach a height of 3,476 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,532 feet from the initial altitude of 33,008 feet. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 106 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 10R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport. The approach was made from the west, with a heading of 69.0 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,020 feet above ground level.
The aircraft landed on runway 10R, which had a length of 2,996 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269 degrees. The touchdown speed was 128 knots, and the touchdown distance was 378 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was firm at -332 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 278 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 61 minutes. The aircraft used 2,333 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed on runway 10R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, achieving a high score of 98.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 69.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,020 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled approach, setting the stage for a smooth landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 134 knots, which is within the acceptable threshold speed range. The touchdown distance of 378 meters was also within the expected parameters, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was also satisfactory, indicating a gentle and controlled touchdown.
The touchdown rate of -332 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, but not excessively hard, suggesting that the pilot had a good sense of the aircraft's speed and altitude. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,494 meters was 50% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance. The high score of 98.8% reflects the pilot's skill and experience in executing a precise and controlled landing.
