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 1,955 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,955 m of the 3,286 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 732 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 SBPJ Brigadeiro Lysias Rodrigues Airport, a process that took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 14, with a takeoff distance of 1,301 meters, which accounted for 52% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 140 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 21°C temperature and a wind speed of 3 knots at 140°. The crosswind was 1 knot, while the headwind was 3 knots. The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile south east of SBPJ Brigadeiro Lysias Rodrigues Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,815 feet above sea level to 37,341 feet above sea level, an increase of 35,526 feet in 18 minutes, covering a distance of 106 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 34 miles south of SWVI Fazenda Pirassununga Airport São Valério. This phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 87 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its descent, which began 5 miles south of SJVV Fazenda Catelani Airport Minaçu. The descent took the aircraft from 37,087 feet above sea level to 5,428 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,659 feet in 27 minutes, covering a distance of 141 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 10 miles west of SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport Brasília. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered 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 1,310 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 11R was successful, with the aircraft touching down 317 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target at 134 knots, while the touchdown speed was a little fast at 123 knots. The touchdown rate was firm at -366 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 16°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots at 200°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,875 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, a process that took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 348 nautical miles, which was covered in 73 minutes, and the aircraft used 2,682 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A319 aircraft successfully landed at SBBR Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport, achieving a score of 93.7%. 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 1,310 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 134 knots. The touchdown point was located 317 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 123 knots was also a bit faster than desired, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -366 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.8 meters, which may have been due to the aircraft's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 200°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 1,875 meters was 57% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
