Improve the 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.
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 2,926 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 406 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 777-300 aircraft. The pre-flight preparations began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 9 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then departed from runway 17R at the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago, Chile.
During takeoff, the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 169 knots, covering a distance of 1,143 meters, which was 30% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 31 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 4 knots at 153 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots.
After takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport. The climb phase involved a significant increase in altitude, from 2,570 feet above sea level to 9,013 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles in just 2 minutes. This was followed by a brief level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from 9,035 feet above sea level to 36,021 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 82 nautical miles in 14 minutes. This was followed by a prolonged level cruise phase, which lasted for 123 minutes and covered a distance of 881 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb phase, which involved a relatively small increase in altitude, from 36,184 feet above sea level to 38,206 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles in 2 minutes. This was followed by another level cruise phase, which lasted for 115 minutes and covered a distance of 932 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent phase, which started at a latitude of -27.5945785 and a longitude of -107.4815437. The descent involved a significant decrease in altitude, from 38,158 feet above sea level to 1,242 feet above sea level, covering a distance of 111 nautical miles in 22 minutes.
The final approach to runway 10 at the Mataveri Airport was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading at 118.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,057 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 125 knots and a touchdown distance of 405 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 130 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.4 meters.
The total landing distance was 1,226 meters, which was 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft was able to taxi to the parking area in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Overall, the flight was a successful one, with the aircraft covering a total distance of 2,046 nautical miles in 293 minutes, using a total of 34,838 kilograms of fuel.
The Boeing 777-300 aircraft successfully landed at SCIP Mataveri Airport, demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The final approach to runway 10 was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 118.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,057 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a safe and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 132 knots, registering at 132 kt. This slight deviation from the target speed did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance. The touchdown distance of 405 meters was also deemed good, indicating that the pilots successfully managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown.
The touchdown speed of 125 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -118 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled approach. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the pilots' approach procedures.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 130°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the headwind component was 3 kt, which may have contributed to the slight deviation from the target threshold speed.
The total landing distance of 1,226 meters was 42% of the runway length, indicating that the pilots successfully managed the aircraft's deceleration and rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilots maintained a high level of control and precision during the landing.
Overall, the Boeing 777-300 aircraft's landing at SCIP Mataveri Airport was characterized by a high level of precision and control, with the pilots successfully managing the aircraft's descent, touchdown, and rollout. While there were some minor deviations from the target speeds and touchdown position, the overall performance was deemed good, and the landing was considered safe and successful.
