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.
Touched down 545 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 31 at SLUY Uyuni Joya Andina Airport, where the TBM 850 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 1,050 meters, which is 26% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 98 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 2 miles northwest of SLUY Uyuni Joya Andina Airport, Quijarro. The climb was from an initial altitude of 13,017 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 18,008 feet above sea level, an increase of 4,991 feet in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 19 nautical miles. This rapid ascent was followed by an enroute level cruise that started 18 miles northeast of Uyuni, lasting 11 minutes and covering a distance of 78 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 17 miles east of SLPO Capitan Nicolas Rojas Airport Potosí, where the aircraft descended from 17,998 feet above sea level to 11,393 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,604 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 36 at SLAL Alcantarí Airport was made from the south, heading 347.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 1,196 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 36 at SLAL Alcantarí Airport, which has a length of 3,575 meters, was characterized by a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was well above the target at 74 knots. The touchdown point was 108 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 60 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was fair at -262 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.9 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 806 meters, which is 23% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 124 nautical miles, taking 26 minutes, and the aircraft used 83 kilograms of fuel.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at SLAL Alcantarí Airport, achieving a score of 95.4%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 347.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,196 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 36, which has a length of 3,575 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was above the target at 74 knots. However, the touchdown point was 108 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 60 knots was considered good, but the touchdown rate of -262 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. This indicates that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher rate of descent than desired.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.9 meters. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a miscalculation of the runway alignment. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and there was no headwind.
The total landing distance was 806 meters, which is approximately 23% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop in a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and aligned path during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and handling characteristics.
