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.

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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 7,194 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 572 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Coari Airport (SWKO) in the Amazonas region of Brazil, the aircraft began its taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, completing the journey in under a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. Upon reaching runway 10, the departure roll commenced, with the aircraft taking off in a relatively short distance of 2,656 feet, which accounted for 51% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 54 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 80°F and a gentle headwind of 3 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from Coari Airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 1,427 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The climb phase was followed by a level cruise, which lasted for 79 minutes and covered a distance of 130 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its enroute descent, reducing its altitude from 1,331 feet to 340 feet above sea level in 3 minutes, while covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 15 at Tefé Airport (SBTF) was initiated from the northwest, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 137.0° at an altitude of 155 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 15 was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 45 knots and a touchdown distance of 564 feet, which was within the acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was also satisfactory at -116 feet per minute. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 18 feet from the centerline, the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 941 feet, accounting for 13% of the runway's length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in under a minute, covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The total flight distance was 138 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 84 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 27 pounds.
The final approach to runway 15 at SBTF Tefé Airport from the north west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 137.0° at 0 nm and 155 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target, coming in at 49 kt. Despite this minor deviation, the touchdown distance was good, with the aircraft touching down at 564 ft, well within the acceptable range.
The touchdown characteristics were also noteworthy, with a smooth touchdown rate of -116 fpm and a speed of 45 kt, both of which were within the desired parameters. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, with the aircraft deviating from the centreline by 18 ft. This minor discrepancy notwithstanding, the overall performance of the aircraft during the touchdown phase was commendable. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 80°F and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 89°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 941 ft, which accounted for 13% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was particularly impressive, with the aircraft maintaining a very good alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance of Aircraft Fox2 was satisfactory, with a score of 97.6% reflecting the minor deviations from the ideal approach and touchdown parameters.
