Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,987 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 465 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 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The Airbus A320 then departed from runway 16 at SBCF Tancredo Neves International Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,945 meters, which accounted for 73% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 157 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at 240 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it started its enroute climb 2 miles northwest of Vespasiano, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The climb took 19 minutes and covered a distance of 120 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 3,602 feet above sea level to 33,612 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,009 feet. Following the climb, the aircraft entered its enroute level cruise, which started 18 miles northwest of Governador Valadares, Minas Gerais, Brazil, and lasted for 13 minutes, covering a distance of 99 nautical miles.
As the aircraft began its descent, it started 11 miles southeast of Carlos Chagas, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The descent took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 114 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 34,191 feet above sea level to 1,569 feet above sea level, a decrease of 32,622 feet. The final approach to runway 10 at SBPS Porto Seguro Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading at 74.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,381 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 10 at SBPS Porto Seguro Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 128 knots and a touchdown distance of 461 meters. The touchdown rate was fair at -261 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at 20 degrees.
Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 341 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 64 minutes. The aircraft used 2,347 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at SBPS Porto Seguro Airport, achieving a high score of 98.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 74.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,381 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was within the acceptable range, at 132 knots, and the touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 461 meters. The touchdown speed of 128 knots was within the desired limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate of -261 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a more gradual descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.4 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. Nevertheless, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a relatively light wind of 8 knots at 20°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 1,107 meters was 56% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
