MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power sooner on final so you cross the threshold at 128 kt, carrying that speed into the flare.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 134 kt, 6 kt above 128 kt, usually leaves extra energy that lets the sink come back after the flare has arrested it, and that returning sink usually carries through to a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 128 kt at the threshold.
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 six 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° glideslope and speed below the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,744 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,744 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 876 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at SBCY Marechal Rondon Airport, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 35, with a takeoff distance of 1,145 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 143 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and a wind speed of 2 knots at 150°. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Varzea Grande, Mato Grosso, Brazil, and climbing from 1,628 feet above sea level to 38,129 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,501 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 134 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 3 miles south of SWIL Fazenda Tarumã Airport, Pedra Preta, Mato Grosso, Brazil, and lasted for 56 minutes, covering a distance of 467 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 5 miles west of SIZG Fazenda Encontro das Águas Airport, São Manuel, São Paulo, Brazil, and descending from 37,761 feet above sea level to 20,837 feet above sea level, a decrease of 16,924 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 70 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting 5 miles southeast of Porto Feliz, São Paulo, Brazil, and lasting for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 1 mile northwest of SDNI Nascimento I Airport, Cotia, São Paulo, Brazil, and descending from 20,077 feet above sea level to 4,337 feet above sea level, a decrease of 15,739 feet in 10 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles north of SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, São Paulo, Brazil, and climbing from 4,351 feet above sea level to 4,978 feet above sea level, an increase of 627 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise, starting 2 miles west of Aruja, São Paulo, Brazil, and lasting for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 3 miles west of SBMT Campo de Marte Airport, São Paulo, Brazil, and descending from 5,376 feet above sea level to 3,792 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,584 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 10R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport from the west, heading 74.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,331 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 10R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport was successful, with a touchdown speed of 112 knots and a touchdown rate of -295 feet per minute. However, the touchdown point was 433 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 5 knots at 110°.
The total landing distance was 1,635 meters, which was 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 17.5 meters from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking from the runway, which took 5
The aircraft in question, an E195, successfully landed at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 74.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,331 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's speed and altitude were well within the target parameters, with a threshold speed of 134 knots and a threshold height of 119 feet agl, which was slightly above the target.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 112 knots, which was within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown point was 433 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overextension of the landing. The touchdown rate of -295 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not as smooth as it could have been.
The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned, deviating from the centerline by 5.4 meters. This misalignment was further exacerbated during the runway rollout, where the aircraft's alignment was off by 17.5 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance of 1,635 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 110°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, and the deviations from the ideal parameters were not significant enough to pose a safety risk.
