Just landed in Santiago too (as the last luggage from Jaap's plane were removed away). I found the last leg a little disturbing because in the previous flights I used to start descent far from the destination, which was not possible here because of the Andes.
Maybe I contributed to this because I used a slightly "customized" route: I was a little bored of the INS so I flew this leg VOR-to-VOR. Just a different kind of fun...
The only setback was that further analysis of the flight showed zero passengers (I suspect Jaap grabbed them all as he was the first to arrive in Santiago), but this is a problem for the travel agency after all!
I share Jaap's fear of the spoilers, after seeing these in action. In one of the first legs, I thought to myself "ok, the spoilers are not to use in flight, but just before touchdown, to reduce a little speed, they can't do harm..." YES, THEY DO! Once the spoilers were deployed, the plane fell on the runway like a stone, no matter how much I tried to flare.
You know the rest: max g, penalty, etc etc. In fact I was so ashamed that I flew the leg again to escape the penalty. And I promised myself never to try such "fine tuning maneuvers" again with the DC8.
