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 1,804 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 392 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 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a TBM 850, then departed from runway 11 at SAVV Gobernador Castello Airport. The takeoff distance was 786 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 104 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 13 knots from a direction of 287 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 13 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile east of SAVV Gobernador Castello Airport. The climb took 4 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles, with the aircraft ascending from 1,025 feet above sea level to 2,973 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,948 feet.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, starting 7 miles west of Viedma. This phase of the flight lasted 18 minutes and covered a distance of 64 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 13 miles east of SAYN Puerto San Antonio Este Airstrip. The descent took 3 minutes and covered a distance of 12 nautical miles, with the aircraft descending from 2,954 feet above sea level to 1,389 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,565 feet.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, starting overhead SAYN Puerto San Antonio Este Airstrip. This phase lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 30 at SAVN Antoine de Saint Exupéry Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 305.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 904 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 30 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 69 knots. The touchdown distance was 392 meters, which was considered good. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast, and the touchdown rate was fair at -279 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 317 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 9 knots. The total landing distance was 483 meters, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 97 nautical miles, and the flight used a total of -119 kilograms of fuel.
The TBM 850 aircraft successfully landed at SAVN Antoine de Saint Exupéry Airport, achieving a score of 99.2%. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 305.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 904 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 30, which has a length of 1,804 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 78 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's approach configuration or the pilot's decision to prioritize a safe landing over a precise speed.
The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits, measuring 392 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 69 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have contributed to a fair touchdown rate of -279 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway as it touched down.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 317°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 9 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing.
The total landing distance was 483 meters, which is 27% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to land safely and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled as it exited the runway.
Overall, the TBM 850 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in landing at SAVN Antoine de Saint Exupéry Airport, with a score of 99.2%. While there were some minor issues with speed and touchdown rate, the aircraft's alignment and landing distance were well within acceptable limits.
