Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 10 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,452 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 392 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 12 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-800, then departed from runway 17R at Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport in Santiago, Chile. The takeoff distance was 1,951 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 158 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 160 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started 1 mile south of the airport. The climb took 27 minutes and covered a distance of 146 nautical miles, during which the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 2,606 feet above sea level to 32,903 feet above sea level, an increase of 30,296 feet. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise, which began 35 miles southwest of Comodoro D.R. Salomón Airport in Malargue, Argentina. This cruise phase lasted for 153 minutes and covered a distance of 1,056 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 8 miles southwest of Estancia Cullen South Airport in Rio Grande, Argentina. The descent took 25 minutes and covered a distance of 127 nautical miles, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 32,610 feet above sea level to 1,553 feet above sea level, a decrease of 31,057 feet. The final approach to runway 25 at Malvinas Argentinas Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 266.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,460 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 25 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 134 knots and a distance of 394 meters. The touchdown rate was fair at -227 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 288 degrees. The total landing distance was 1,318 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The final phase of the flight involved taxiing to the parking from the runway, which took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 1,339 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 221 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 10,776 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Boeing 737-800 aircraft successfully landed at SAWH Malvinas Argentinas Airport, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The final approach to runway 25 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 266.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,460 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 140 knots. The touchdown distance of 394 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 134 knots was also good. However, the touchdown rate of -227 feet per minute was only fair, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher rate of descent than desired.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4 meters, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 288°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was minimal at 1 knot.
The total landing distance of 1,318 meters was 54% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled path after touchdown.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to touch down safely on the runway. However, there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate and runway alignment, which may be worth addressing in future training or operations.
