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.
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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,910 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,910 m of the 3,286 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 688 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Airbus A319 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at SBPV Governador Jorge Teixeira de Oliveira Airport, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Departure roll occurred on runway 19, with the takeoff distance being 1,562 meters, which is 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 146 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 36°C temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 90°. The crosswind was 9 knots, while the headwind was 1 knot. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of Porto Velho, Rondonia, Brazil, and involved a significant increase in altitude from 1,309 feet above sea level to 38,456 feet above sea level, a rise of 37,147 feet in 22 minutes, covering a distance of 144 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 19 miles northwest of SWIU Agropecuári Madeirinha Airport Aripuanã, Mato Grosso, Brazil. This phase lasted for 94 minutes, covering a distance of 763 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 8 miles south of SBEB Santa Terezinha de Goiás Airstrip Crixas, Goias, Brazil. The descent involved a decrease in altitude from 37,829 feet above sea level to 5,440 feet above sea level, a drop of 32,389 feet in 23 minutes, covering a distance of 120 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 10 miles west of SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport Brasília, Federal District, Brazil. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 11R at SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 86.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,305 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 11R was successful, with the touchdown point being 272 meters beyond the touchdown zone. However, the touchdown speed of 123 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at -404 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline. Local weather conditions at the time of landing were 25°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 360°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,830 meters, which is 56% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,040 nautical miles, taking 151 minutes, and the aircraft used 5,372 kilograms of fuel.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport, achieving a score of 95.8%. The final approach to runway 11R was initiated from the west, with a heading of 86.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,305 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 130 knots. However, the touchdown point was located 272 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 123 knots was slightly faster than the desired speed, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -404 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centerline, with a deviation of 3.1 meters. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 360°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and no headwind.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,830 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway length. Notably, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its direction and speed during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
