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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,631 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,631 m of the 2,544 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 477 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 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an Airbus A320, then departed from runway 07 at SAWG Piloto Civil N. Fernández Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,826 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 167 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 40 degrees. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was also 6 knots. As the aircraft took off, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile east of SAWG Piloto Civil N. Fernández Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,069 feet above sea level to 38,102 feet above sea level, an increase of 37,033 feet in 20 minutes, covering a distance of 128 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 21 miles southwest of SAWJ Capitan D Daniel Vazquez Airport San Julian, and lasted for 38 minutes, covering a distance of 281 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 29 miles southwest of Camarones, Chubut Province, Argentina. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 38,547 feet above sea level to 1,938 feet above sea level, a decrease of 36,608 feet in 25 minutes, covering a distance of 117 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07 at SAVT Almirante Marco Andres Zar Airport was made from the southwest, heading 69.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 1,797 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 07, which had a length of 2,544 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 147 knots. The touchdown point was 60 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 138 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate was good at -185 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 60 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 9 knots. The total landing distance was 1,549 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 533 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 95 minutes. The aircraft used 2,799 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Airbus A320 successfully landed at SAVT Almirante Marco Andres Zar Airport, achieving a high score of 97.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 69.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,797 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft landed safely on runway 07, which has a length of 2,544 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed of 147 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a smoother landing. The touchdown point was 60 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 138 knots was slightly faster than the target speed, but the touchdown rate of -185 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 60°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 9 knots, which the pilots successfully managed during the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,549 meters, which is 61% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilots executed a smooth and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft landed safely on the runway. The high score of 97.1% reflects the pilots' skill and experience in executing a smooth and controlled landing in a variety of weather conditions.
