Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

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 full 1,524 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 140 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 17 at SCSA Alberto Santos Dumont Airport. The aircraft, a Cessna-140 RA, took off with a takeoff distance of 51 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 30 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 177 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed en route, it started overhead SCSA Alberto Santos Dumont Airport, Til Til, in the Region Metropolitana, Chile. The climb from 2,433 feet above sea level to 3,862 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,429 feet, was achieved in 4 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent 4 miles east of the airport, descending from 3,864 feet above sea level to 2,265 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,599 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to landing was made at SCVH La Victoria de Chacabuco Airport, Santiago, in the Region Metropolitana, Chile. The aircraft descended from 1 nautical mile to 1 nautical mile at 324 feet above ground level. As the aircraft approached touchdown, it descended from 47 feet above ground level to 0 feet above ground level in 5 seconds.
The touchdown occurred 3 miles southwest of SCVH La Victoria de Chacabuco Airport, with a touchdown speed of 36 knots and a touchdown rate of -152 feet per minute. The touchdown distance was 137 meters, and the local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 177 degrees.
After touchdown, the aircraft underwent a landing rollout, covering a distance of 66 meters at an altitude of 1,932 feet above sea level. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna-140 RA aircraft successfully landed at the SCVH La Victoria de Chacabuco Airport in Santiago, Chile, with a score of 84.1%. The final approach to landing began 3 miles southwest of the airport, at an altitude of 324 feet above ground level (agl), and continued for 1 nautical mile (nm) before touchdown.
As the aircraft approached the touchdown point, it descended from 47 feet agl to 0 feet agl in just 5 seconds, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 36 knots was considered good, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe and stable approach. The touchdown rate of -152 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, suggesting that the aircraft touched down smoothly without any excessive deceleration.
The touchdown distance of 137 meters was also considered good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 177 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, which did not pose any significant challenges to the pilot.
After touchdown, the aircraft began its landing rollout, which took place 3 miles southwest of the airport. The aircraft's altitude during the rollout was 1,932 feet above sea level (asl), and the distance covered during the rollout was 66 meters. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and judgment throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
