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 3,508 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 577 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway at Chimore Airport, taking approximately 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Beechcraft Duke, then departed from runway 35 at Chimore Airport, with a takeoff distance of 547 meters, which was 15% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 85 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 27°C temperature and a wind speed of 1 knot at 127 degrees. The enroute climb started 1 mile north of Chimore Airport, where the aircraft climbed from 1,751 feet above sea level to 7,144 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,392 feet in 4 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 5 miles southeast of Chimore Airport and lasted 11 minutes, covering 38 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb 22 miles north of Comarapa, climbing from 7,592 feet above sea level to 8,870 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,278 feet in 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 17 miles north of Comarapa and lasted 14 minutes, covering 51 nautical miles. The aircraft then began an enroute descent 20 miles south of Buena Vista, descending from 8,911 feet above sea level to 7,082 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,829 feet in 3 minutes, covering 12 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 15 miles northwest of Santa Rita and lasted 2 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute descent 13 miles west of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, descending from 7,078 feet above sea level to 5,072 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,006 feet in 3 minutes, covering 11 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles west of Viru Viru International Airport and lasted 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began an enroute descent 1 mile northwest of the airport, descending from 4,886 feet above sea level to 3,168 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,719 feet in 2 minutes, covering 4 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles southeast of the airport and lasted 6 minutes, covering 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute descent 4 miles north of Cotoca, descending from 2,997 feet above sea level to 2,506 feet above sea level, a decrease of 491 feet in 2 minutes, covering 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 34 at Viru Viru International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 327.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,275 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with a touchdown point 149 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 75 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -138 feet per minute.
The total landing distance was 1,347 meters, which was 38% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centerline. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took approximately 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 151 nautical miles, taking 61 minutes, and the aircraft used 110 kilograms of fuel.
The Beechcraft Duke aircraft successfully landed at SLVR Viru Viru International Airport, achieving a score of 95.0%. The final approach to runway 34 was initiated from the south east, heading 327.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,275 feet above ground level.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold height being satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 89 knots, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing conditions. The touchdown point was 149 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 75 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -138 feet per minute was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 25°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 190°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the tailwind component was 8 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,347 meters, which is approximately 38% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot executed a smooth and controlled approach. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.1 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the pilot's technique to achieve a more precise alignment. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a relatively short distance and with minimal deviations from the ideal landing conditions.
