Track the centreline on final
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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.
Side view — the last 1,438 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,438 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 226 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in question was operated by a Boeing 737-700 aircraft, which departed from La Araucanía Airport (SCQP) on runway 19. The takeoff roll was 1,134 meters long, covering 46% of the runway, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 148 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17°C, a wind speed of 4 knots from 280°, and a crosswind of 3 knots.
After takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile west of Freire, Chile. The climb was from an initial altitude of 1,371 feet above sea level (asl) to a maximum altitude of 38,439 ft asl, an increase of 37,069 feet in 36 minutes, covering a distance of 262 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 139 minutes and covered 629 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase began 12 miles east of Almirante Schroeders Airport (SCDW) on Isla Dawson, Chile, and lasted for 14 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 38,522 ft asl to 3,957 ft asl, a decrease of 34,565 feet. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 10 nautical miles.
The final descent phase began 6 miles west of Guardiamarina Zañartu Airport (SCGZ) on Puerto Williams, Chile, and lasted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 3,326 ft asl to 1,776 ft asl, a decrease of 1,550 feet. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at SCGZ Guardiamarina Zañartu Airport was made from the east, heading 270.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,049 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was made on runway 26, which was 1,438 meters long. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 142 knots, and the touchdown distance was good at 227 meters. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 140 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -332 feet per minute (fpm).
The total landing distance was 855 meters, which was 59% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the taxiing to the parking from the runway took less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,032 nautical miles, taking 147 minutes, and the aircraft used 6,638 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 737-700 aircraft successfully landed at SCGZ Guardiamarina Zañartu Airport, achieving a score of 94.6%. The final approach to runway 26 was conducted from the east, heading 270.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,049 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold height and a slightly above-target threshold speed of 142 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a touchdown distance of 227 meters, which is considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 140 knots was a little fast, indicating that the pilots may have needed to apply more braking to slow down the aircraft. The touchdown rate was firm at -332 feet per minute (fpm), which is within acceptable limits.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 7.4 meters from the centerline. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilots' alignment during the final approach. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots were able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 165°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance of 855 meters was 59% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilots demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach and rollout phases.
