This flight was conducted in a DHC-2 Beaver aircraft, starting with an enroute climb from a location 17 miles northeast of SCHA Chamonate Airport in Copiapo, Region de Atacama, Chile. The aircraft began its ascent from an altitude of 5,029 feet above sea level (asl) and reached 5,298 ft asl in less than a minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This rapid climb demonstrates the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft initiated an enroute descent from 5,317 ft asl to 1,318 ft asl, a decrease of 4,000 ft in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. This descent was likely a controlled and gradual process, allowing the pilot to maintain a safe and stable flight path.
The final approach to runway 27 at SCHA Chamonate Airport was conducted from the east, with the aircraft heading 277.0° at an altitude of 353 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 56 knots, which was well below the target speed, indicating a controlled approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown distance was 60 meters, and the touchdown speed was 52 knots, both of which were considered good. However, the touchdown rate was hard, at -499 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 0 knots, and a direction of 315°. There was no crosswind or headwind, making the landing conditions ideal.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 18 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The DHC-2 Beaver aircraft successfully landed at SCHA Chamonate Airport, achieving a score of 89.3%. The final approach to runway 27 was conducted from the east, heading 277.0° at an altitude of 353 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 56 knots, which was well below the target speed, indicating a controlled descent. However, the pilots were advised to be cautious not to stall, as the speed was on the lower end. The touchdown distance of 60 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 52 knots was also within acceptable limits.
Despite the good touchdown speed, the touchdown rate was hard, with a rate of -499 feet per minute (fpm). This may indicate a slightly aggressive approach, but it did not compromise the safety of the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is essential for a smooth and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 315°. There was no crosswind or headwind, which made the landing even more straightforward. The total landing distance of 133 meters was only 8% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled landing.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft being 13.4 meters off the centerline. This may be a minor issue, but it could be addressed in future landings to improve the overall performance. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilots demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown.
