Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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: speed above the reference speed.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,413 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 414 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 12 at SBMO Zumbi dos Palmares Airport in Maceió, Alagoas, Brazil. The takeoff distance was 1,090 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 151 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and winds of 2 knots at 50 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot. After departing from the airport, the enroute climb started 1 mile east of the airport and continued for 41 minutes, covering a distance of 295 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,459 feet above sea level to 39,831 feet above sea level, an increase of 38,371 feet.
Following the climb, the enroute level cruise started 3 miles south east of SNBD Sobradinho Airport in Juazeiro, Bahia, Brazil. This phase of the flight lasted for 164 minutes and covered a distance of 1,215 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 8 miles north east of SWIU Agropecuári Madeirinha Airport in Aripuanã, Mato Grosso, Brazil. The descent from 39,488 feet above sea level to 2,028 feet above sea level took 23 minutes and covered a distance of 164 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 10 miles north east of SBPV Governador Jorge Teixeira de Oliveira Airport in Porto Velho, Rondonia, Brazil, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 19 at SBPV Governador Jorge Teixeira de Oliveira Airport was made from the north, heading 177.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,268 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 19 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 409 meters, which was 37% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 122 knots, which was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -244 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and winds of 1 knot at 190 degrees. The crosswind was 0 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking from the runway, which took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,689 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 237 minutes. The aircraft used 9,605 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at SBPV Governador Jorge Teixeira de Oliveira Airport, showcasing a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 19 from the north was executed at a heading of 177.0°, with the aircraft at an altitude of 1,268 feet above ground level (agl) and 4 nautical miles from the runway. This approach was marked by a high score of 99.7%, indicating a nearly flawless execution of the landing procedure.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 122 knots, which was slightly faster than the recommended threshold speed of 130 knots. However, this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 409 meters was well within the acceptable range, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 24°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot from a direction of 190°. The crosswind component was negligible, with a speed of 0 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth and controlled landing, with the aircraft touching down at a rate of -244 feet per minute (fpm), which was considered fair.
The total landing distance of 899 meters was 37% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating that the aircraft was properly controlled during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-700 at SBPV Governador Jorge Teixeira de Oliveira Airport was a success, with the aircraft performing well within the acceptable parameters for a safe and controlled landing.
