MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Raise the gear lever promptly once a positive rate of climb is confirmed after liftoff.
What happened: The landing gear was never raised during the initial climb and was still down when the climb ended.
Watch for: Landing gear lever: UP promptly after confirming a positive rate of climb.
Arrival
Begin raising the nose earlier, as soon as you reach 11 ft, rather than waiting until closer to the runway.
What happened: The flare began at 5.3 ft, 6 ft later than the normal band, leaving little time to arrest the sink. A late flare like this usually carries through to a firmer-than-normal touchdown.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the normal flare band, calling the flare at 11 ft.
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 305 m and 152 m above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 305 m gate: speed 7 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 136 kt.
At the 152 m gate: speed 6 kt SLOW on the reference speed of 136 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,587 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,587 m of the 3,636 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 450 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.77 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport, the Airbus A320 began its journey with a taxiing phase that lasted 20 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. As the aircraft reached the runway, it initiated its departure roll on runway 29L, utilizing 74% of the available length to achieve a takeoff distance of 2,416 meters. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 159 knots, with a local temperature of 29°C and wind conditions of 3 knots at 98 degrees.
Following a smooth takeoff, the aircraft transitioned into an enroute climb, ascending from 1,332 meters above sea level to 11,218 meters above sea level over a distance of 138 nautical miles in 21 minutes. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted 25 minutes and covered 208 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, reducing its altitude from 11,279 meters above sea level to 3,135 meters above sea level over a distance of 94 nautical miles in 14 minutes. The descent was interspersed with brief level cruises, including a 9-minute segment that covered 40 nautical miles. The final descent phase brought the aircraft down from 3,052 meters above sea level to 1,109 meters above sea level over a distance of 24 nautical miles in 7 minutes.
As the aircraft approached SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 28R from the east, aligning with the runway at 4 nautical miles and 360.6 meters above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, utilizing 43% of its 3,547-meter length, with a touchdown distance of 453 meters and a touchdown speed of 124 knots. The touchdown rate was good at -1.0 meters per second, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 meters from the centerline. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing its journey with a total flight distance of 514 nautical miles and a fuel consumption of 3,318 kilograms over a duration of 95 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 28R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 130 kt was slightly below the target, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 453 m was well within the expected range, and the touchdown speed of 124 kt was also good, indicating a controlled descent.
The touchdown rate of -1.0 m/s was within the desired parameters, suggesting a stable and predictable landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.4 m from the centreline, which may require some adjustments to the approach procedure in the future. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 28 °C and a light wind of 4 kt at 84 °, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 1,509 m was 43% of the runway length, which is within the expected range for an aircraft of this size. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the final stages of the landing. Overall, the landing was scored 98.1%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
