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.
The 342 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 16 at SLET El Trompillo Airport. The takeoff distance was 624 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 97 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind. The aircraft began its enroute climb 3 miles southeast of SLET El Trompillo Airport, Santa Cruz, and climbed from an altitude of 2,336 feet above sea level to 2,439 feet above sea level, an increase of 103 feet in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The enroute level cruise started 4 miles southwest of Cotoca, Bolivia, and lasted for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 34 at SLVR Viru Viru International Airport was made from the southeast, heading 328.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 969 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 34 was successful, with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 70 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 341 meters, and the touchdown speed was 59 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was firm at -399 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind. The total landing distance was 488 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 7 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 19 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 15 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -402 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at SLVR Viru Viru International Airport, achieving a score of 96.7%. The final approach to runway 34 was initiated from the south east, with the aircraft heading 328.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 969 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 59 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 341 meters was also considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -399 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting a stable and controlled landing.
However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 4.2 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment may have been due to various factors, including wind conditions or pilot error.
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 headwind, making the landing process relatively straightforward.
The total landing distance of 488 meters was only 14% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well under control during the landing process.
Overall, the TBM 850 aircraft performed well during the landing at SLVR Viru Viru International Airport, with a high score and a smooth, controlled descent.
