Slow down before tight turns
See Departure Taxi
Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

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 2,341 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 479 m touchdown sits inside 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 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 17R at SCEL Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago, Chile. The takeoff distance was 1,113 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 137 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 23°C temperature and a wind speed of 17 knots at 170°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind was 16 knots. The enroute climb started overhead SCEL Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport and continued for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 123 nautical miles. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 2,602 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 30,925 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,323 feet.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 6 miles south-east of SCKK La Cascada Airport in Molina, Chile. This phase lasted for 74 minutes and covered a distance of 303 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, which started 15 miles south-east of SCXR Las Bandurrias Airport in Lago Ranco, Chile. The descent from 30,583 feet above sea level to 9,016 feet above sea level took 14 minutes and covered a distance of 59 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 6 miles south of SAZS San Carlos De Bariloche Airport in San Carlos de Bariloche, Argentina. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 12 miles south-east of SAZS San Carlos De Bariloche Airport. The descent from 8,595 feet above sea level to 6,295 feet above sea level took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 10 miles south-west of Pilcaniyeu in Rio Negro Province, Argentina. This phase lasted for only 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, which started 10 miles east of SAZS San Carlos De Bariloche Airport. The descent from 5,945 feet above sea level to 4,050 feet above sea level took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at SAZS San Carlos De Bariloche Airport was made from the south-east, with the aircraft heading 295.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,291 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the touchdown point being 47 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 102 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was -162 feet per minute, which was also good.
However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 20 knots at 310°. The crosswind was 5 knots, while the headwind was 19 knots.
The total landing distance was 901 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took only 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 521 nautical miles,
The aircraft in question, an RJ85, successfully landed at San Carlos De Bariloche Airport (SAZS) with a score of 95.5%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 295.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,291 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed on runway 29, which has a length of 2,341 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 116 knots. The touchdown point was located 47 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 102 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate of -162 feet per minute (fpm) was also within acceptable limits.
However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.5 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly off by 10.8 meters from the centerline. Despite these minor deviations, the total landing distance of 901 meters was only 38% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 20 knots from a direction of 310°. This resulted in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 19 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the landing. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and coming to a stop within a reasonable distance.
