Work on the flare
See Arrival Landing
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 seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,996 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 570 m past the threshold — beyond 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 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, then departed from runway 20 at SBVT Eurico de Aguiar Salles Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,300 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 143 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 250 degrees.
The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south east of SBVT Eurico de Aguiar Salles Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,041 feet above sea level to 33,897 feet above sea level, an increase of 32,856 feet, in 13 minutes and covering a distance of 77 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north west of Mimoso do Sul, a town in the state of Espirito Santo, Brazil. This phase of the flight lasted for 36 minutes and covered a distance of 230 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 3 miles north of Cunha, a town in the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 33,981 feet above sea level to 3,737 feet above sea level, a decrease of 30,243 feet, in 27 minutes and covering a distance of 92 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10R at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport was made from the west, with a heading of 74.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,283 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 10R, which had a length of 2,996 meters. The threshold height at the time of landing was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was well above the target at 138 knots.
The touchdown point was 148 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 131 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -98 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 110 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,347 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft took 7 minutes to taxi to the parking from the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 407 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 91 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3,012 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport, achieving an impressive score of 98.3%. The final approach to runway 10R was conducted from the west, with a heading of 74.0° and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the airport. At an altitude of 1,283 feet, the aircraft was well-positioned for its landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 148 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is within an acceptable range. However, the touchdown speed of 131 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have needed to apply more braking force to bring the aircraft to a stop. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -98 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 110°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots, making it easier for the pilot to control the aircraft during the landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's direction and speed during the landing. The total landing distance was 1,347 meters, which is 45% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.
Overall, the landing of the Boeing 737-700 aircraft at SBGR André Franco Montoro International Airport was a success, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating excellent control and handling during the landing.
