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 1,488 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,488 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 331 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 02 at CFQ5 Silver City Airport. The TBM 850 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 712 meters, which was 82% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 99 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were a temperature of -3°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 279°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, and the tailwind component was 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed out of CFQ5 Silver City Airport, it reached an altitude of 4,950 feet above sea level (asl) after a climb of 1,830 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 8 miles east of the airport and lasted 11 minutes, covering 15 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent from 5,751 feet asl to 5,229 feet asl, a decrease of 522 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started 7 miles north-east of CYHT Haines Junction Airport and lasted 11 minutes, covering 41 nautical miles.
The flight continued with several enroute climbs and descents, including a climb from 5,205 feet asl to 6,509 feet asl, an increase of 1,304 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft also experienced a descent from 7,255 feet asl to 6,166 feet asl, a decrease of 1,089 feet in 2 minutes, covering 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 09 at CYZW Teslin Airport was made from the west, heading 107.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,502 feet above ground level (agl). The landing on runway 09 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 329 meters. The touchdown speed was 64 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was fair at -234 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -1°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 272°. The crosswind component was 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,235 meters, which was 83% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 173 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 51 minutes. The aircraft used 145 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at CYZW Teslin Airport, achieving a score of 94.0%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 107.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,502 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 09, which has a length of 1,488 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 73 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's descent rate or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed during the approach.
The touchdown distance was good, measuring 329 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 64 knots. However, the touchdown rate was fair, coming in at -234 feet per minute (fpm). This may indicate that the aircraft's descent was not as smooth as it could have been.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 4.3 meters. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or the pilot's decision to touch down slightly off-centre.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were reported as follows: a temperature of -1°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots from 272°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe landing.
The total landing distance was 1,235 meters, which is 83% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its alignment with the runway after touchdown and come to a stop in a controlled manner. Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and decision-making skills.
