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 2,993 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 529 m past the threshold — beyond 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 a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft, a TBM 850, then departed from runway 13 at EDCP Peenemünde Airport. The takeoff distance was 548 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 102 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots at a direction of 63 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 11 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, which started overhead Peenemünde and took the aircraft from an altitude of 981 feet above sea level to 7,749 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,768 feet in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 28 nautical miles.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 3 miles south east of Siedenbollentin and lasted for 21 minutes, covering a distance of 82 nautical miles. The enroute descent then began 1 mile west of Werder, where the aircraft descended from 7,779 feet above sea level to 1,421 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,358 feet in 8 minutes and covering a distance of 18 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport was made from the south west, with the aircraft heading at 69.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 07L, which had a length of 2,993 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was well above the target at 78 knots.
The touchdown point was 90 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 69 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was fair at -203 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.6 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 7 knots at a direction of 36 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 700 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.0 meters from the centreline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 137 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 49 minutes. The aircraft used 133 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed on runway 07L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport, achieving a score of 92.9%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 69.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was well above the target at 78 knots.
However, there were some areas for improvement during the landing. The touchdown point was 90 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft touched down slightly further down the runway than intended. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 69 knots was a little fast, and the touchdown rate of -203 feet per minute was only fair. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.6 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 36°. The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's landing distance of 700 meters was only 23% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been a result of the initial misalignment during touchdown. Overall, while there were some areas for improvement, the TBM 850 aircraft's landing on runway 07L at EDDB Berlin Brandenburg Airport was satisfactory, and the pilot's skills and experience were demonstrated through the successful completion of the landing.
