Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

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 943 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 943 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 166 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with the Beechcraft Duke taxiing from the parking area to the runway at San Carlos De Bariloche Airport, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 29, with a takeoff distance of 461 meters, which is 20% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 103 knots.
As the aircraft climbed out of San Carlos De Bariloche Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 7°C temperature and a wind of 23 knots at 280°. The crosswind was 6 knots, and the headwind was 22 knots. The enroute climb started 1 mile northwest of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from 3,764 feet above sea level to 18,642 feet above sea level, an increase of 14,878 feet in 12 minutes, covering 13 nautical miles.
After reaching the cruising altitude, the aircraft entered a level cruise 10 miles south of San Carlos de Bariloche, lasting 14 minutes and covering 51 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 7 miles south of El Maiten, with the aircraft descending from 18,629 feet above sea level to 7,126 feet above sea level, a decrease of 11,503 feet in 16 minutes, covering 47 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise 3 miles southeast of Esquel, lasting 2 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 4 miles south of Esquel, with the aircraft descending from 6,457 feet above sea level to 5,958 feet above sea level, a decrease of 499 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
The aircraft continued with another level cruise 3 miles northeast of Trevelin, lasting 3 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 2 miles southwest of Trevelin, with the aircraft descending from 5,960 feet above sea level to 2,855 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,104 feet in 3 minutes, covering 8 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise 7 miles east of Futaleufú Airport, lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles. The enroute descent started 4 miles east of the airport, with the aircraft descending from 2,700 feet above sea level to 1,679 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,020 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 27 at Futaleufú Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 288.0° at 1 nautical mile and 526 feet above ground level. The landing took place on runway 27, which is 943 meters long. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 80 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 165 meters, and the touchdown speed was 73 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was firm at -371 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 8°C temperature and a wind of 17 knots at 290°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 17 knots.
The total landing distance was 517 meters, which is 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 142 nautical miles, taking 60 minutes, and the aircraft used 124 kilograms of fuel.
The Beechcraft Duke aircraft successfully landed at SCFT Futaleufú Airport, achieving a score of 96.4%. The final approach to runway 27 was conducted from the east, with the aircraft heading 288.0° at 1 nautical mile and 526 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 943 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 80 knots, which may indicate a slight deviation from the ideal approach speed. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 165 meters, and the touchdown speed of 73 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate was firm at -371 feet per minute (fpm), which suggests a controlled and stable descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the ideal landing path.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 8°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from 290°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 17 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the approach and landing.
The total landing distance was 517 meters, which represents 55% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also reported as very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and stability during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was executed safely and efficiently, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The score of 96.4% reflects the high level of proficiency and skill displayed by the pilot during this landing.
