Slow down before tight turns
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.
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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,564 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 487 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the aircraft, an Airbus A320, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport, also known as SCEL. This process took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 17R, taking off with a takeoff distance of 1,371 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 156 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 8 knots at 180 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a headwind of 8 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile south of the airport and continued for 17 minutes, covering a distance of 119 nautical miles. During this time, the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 2,621 feet above sea level to 38,720 feet above sea level, an increase of 36,099 feet.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 25 miles east of El Baúl Airstrip Molina. This phase lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 127 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 3 miles west of Chevron Texaco Airport Buta Ranquil. The descent from 38,494 feet above sea level to 3,742 feet above sea level took 15 minutes and covered a distance of 102 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 5 miles east of Contraalmirante Cordero. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 3 miles northeast of Cipolletti Aeroclub Airport Cipolletti. The descent from 3,444 feet above sea level to 2,755 feet above sea level took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 1 mile north of General Fernandez Oro. This phase lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 27 at Presidente Peron Airport, flying from the east at a heading of 269.0 degrees and at an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 27 was successful, with the touchdown point being 66 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 124 knots, but the touchdown rate was fair at -225 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots at 290 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, and the headwind was 10 knots. The total landing distance was 1,169 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 378 nautical miles and took 69 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 2,105 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at SAZN Presidente Peron Airport, achieving a high score of 98.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 269.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,286 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 27, which has a length of 2,564 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 132 knots, indicating a well-executed landing. However, the touchdown point was 66 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may be considered slightly off-center. The touchdown speed of 124 knots was slightly faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate of -225 feet per minute (fpm) was fair.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 290°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots. These conditions did not significantly impact the landing, and the pilot maintained control throughout the approach and touchdown.
The total landing distance of 1,169 meters was 46% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed well, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and control throughout the approach and touchdown.
