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 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,575 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 306 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a TBM 850, then departed from runway 16 at SLGM Guayaramerín Airport in Bolivia. The takeoff distance was 753 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 99 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile southeast of the airport and ascending from 1,466 feet above sea level to 4,116 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,651 feet in 2 minutes and covering 8 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 12 miles south of the airport, with the aircraft descending from 4,782 feet above sea level to 3,005 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,778 feet in 2 minutes and covering 26 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 40 miles south of the airport and lasted for 18 minutes, covering 275 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time starting 5 miles northwest of SLCQ Chimore Airport and ascending from 2,989 feet above sea level to 15,008 feet above sea level, an increase of 12,019 feet in 7 minutes and covering 92 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began overhead Totora and lasted for 9 minutes, covering 72 nautical miles.
The enroute descent started 7 miles northeast of Sucre, with the aircraft descending from 15,000 feet above sea level to 11,381 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,619 feet in 4 minutes and covering 13 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 18 at SLAL Alcantarí Airport was made from the north, heading 169.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,188 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 18 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 304 meters and a touchdown speed of 66 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown rate was good at -184 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of departure, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees.
The total landing distance was 501 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 492 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 52 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -36 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at SLAL Alcantarí Airport, achieving a score of 95.9%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 169.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,188 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 18, which has a length of 3,575 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 72 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 304 meters was considered good. The touchdown speed of 66 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -184 feet per minute (fpm) was good. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind. The total landing distance of 501 meters was only 14% of the runway length, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centerline. Despite this minor deviation, the overall landing performance of the TBM 850 was satisfactory, with a high score of 95.9%.
