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.
Side view — the last 796 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 796 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 249 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a TBM 850, then departed from runway 25C at Frankfurt Airport (EDDF). The takeoff distance was 991 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 108 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 20 knots at 80°. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a tailwind of 19 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles south of Kelsterbach, Hessen, Germany. The climb from 1,330 feet above sea level to 5,067 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,737 feet, was achieved in 5 minutes and covered 14 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 2 miles east of Taunusstein, Hessen, Germany. This cruise phase lasted 3 minutes and covered 12 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Niederneisen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. The descent from 5,064 feet above sea level to 1,613 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,450 feet, was achieved in 2 minutes and covered 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Niedererbach, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. This cruise phase lasted 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began another climb, starting overhead Limburg-Elz Airfield, Hessen, Germany. The climb from 1,435 feet above sea level to 3,538 feet above sea level, an increase of 2,103 feet, was achieved in 3 minutes and covered 11 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead Mogendorf, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. This cruise phase lasted 5 minutes and covered 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting overhead Asbach, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. The descent from 2,652 feet above sea level to 1,170 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,482 feet, was achieved in 2 minutes and covered 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 29 at Bonn-Hangelar Airfield (EDKB) was made from the east, heading 289.0° at 4 nautical miles and 972 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 29 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 247 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 71 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -215 feet per minute was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 383 meters, which is 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 74 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 29 minutes. The aircraft used -135 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at EDKB Bonn-Hangelar Airfield, achieving a score of 98.6%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 289.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 972 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 29, which has a length of 796 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly too high at 80 knots. However, the touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 247 meters. The touchdown speed of 71 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -215 feet per minute (fpm) was fair. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 383 meters, which is approximately 48% of the runway length.
One of the notable aspects of the landing was the excellent runway rollout alignment, which was reported as very good. Overall, the TBM 850 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in landing at EDKB Bonn-Hangelar Airfield, with only minor areas for improvement.
