Hold the approach angle
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.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
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.
The 363 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a short taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The Boeing 737-700 then departed from runway 08 at SOCA Cayenne – Félix Eboué Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,022 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 143 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius, with no wind.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb from an altitude of 1,074 feet above sea level to 38,799 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,725 feet in 31 minutes, covering a distance of 224 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise began 28 miles north of SWVP Fazenda Santa Isabel Airport Cutias, and it lasted for 78 minutes, covering a distance of 973 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 5 miles south of Jatoba, and it took the aircraft from an altitude of 39,007 feet above sea level to 1,575 feet above sea level, a decrease of 37,433 feet in 13 minutes, covering a distance of 121 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 12 at SBAR Aracaju - Santa Maria International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 92.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,550 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 12 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 361 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 121 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -125 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 80 degrees.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,324 nautical miles, and it took 130 minutes to complete, using 7,738 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at SBAR Aracaju - Santa Maria International Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 12 was executed from the west, with a heading of 92.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,550 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was marked by a high success rate, with a score of 99.7%.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe and controlled touchdown. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 127 knots, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing conditions. Nevertheless, the touchdown distance of 361 meters was deemed good, and the touchdown speed of 121 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate of -125 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent and a reduced risk of damage to the aircraft. Furthermore, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is essential for maintaining control and stability during the landing process.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 80°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach and landing phases.
The total landing distance of 831 meters was 38% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot executed a precise and controlled landing, minimizing the risk of overshooting or undershooting the runway. Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's expertise and control during the landing phase. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance, showcasing a high level of precision and control.
