Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 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 3,806 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 531 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Carrasco General Cesáreo L. Berisso International Airport (SUMU), the RJ85 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 4 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 01, the aircraft initiated its departure roll, utilizing 73% of the 1,633-meter runway to achieve liftoff at a speed of 142 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 10°C, with a gentle headwind of 2 knots and a crosswind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to its cruising altitude, it passed overhead Colonia Nicolich, marking the beginning of its enroute climb phase. Over the course of 24 minutes, the aircraft ascended from 1,013 feet above sea level to 30,000 feet, covering a distance of 125 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude of 30,000 feet for 96 minutes as it traversed 560 nautical miles. The descent phase commenced 22 miles west of La Puntilla, where the aircraft began its gradual descent from 29,785 feet to 2,786 feet, a decrease of 26,998 feet in 20 minutes, covering 102 nautical miles.
Upon reaching the final approach phase, the aircraft began its descent towards runway 17R at Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport (SCEL), aligning itself with the runway from the north. The aircraft touched down 109 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 108 knots and a touchdown rate of -235 feet per minute. The total landing distance was 1,114 meters, accounting for 29% of the 3,803-meter runway. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, completing its journey in 149 minutes and covering a total distance of 795 nautical miles. The flight utilized 5,763 kilograms of fuel, demonstrating efficient performance throughout its duration.
The aircraft touched down on runway 17R at SCEL Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in the landing phase. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and speed of 120 kt, indicating a well-executed descent and configuration. The touchdown point was 109 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, although slightly beyond the ideal, still reflects a high degree of control and precision.
The touchdown speed of 108 kt was good, and the touchdown rate of -235 fpm was fair, suggesting a slight over-rotation. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft remained on the centreline throughout the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 13 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 30 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The total landing distance of 1,114 m, which accounts for 29% of the runway length, is a testament to the pilot's skill and control. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft remaining on the centreline throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 98.9%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control.
