Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

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 378 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 378 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 92 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 27 at the Tannheim Airfield, also known as EDMT. The Kodiak 100 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 178 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 68 knots.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it encountered local weather conditions of 22 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The aircraft continued to climb, reaching an altitude of 7,986 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,700 feet from its initial altitude of 2,286 feet. This climb was achieved in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
Once the aircraft reached its cruising altitude, it began a level cruise, flying 1 mile west of Aitrach in Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. This phase of the flight lasted for 10 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 24 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 1 mile southwest of Oberstaufen in Bavaria, Germany. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 7,708 feet to 2,565 feet, a decrease of 5,142 feet, in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, this time flying 1 mile west of Bregenz in Vorarlberg, Austria. This phase lasted for just 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 03 at the Wildberg airfield, also known as EDYW, was made from the southwest, heading 26.0 degrees at an altitude of 223 feet above ground level, 1 nautical mile from the runway. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 61 knots, with a touchdown distance of 91 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly below the target speed of 64 knots.
The aircraft's landing performance was excellent, with a touchdown rate of -41 feet per minute and perfect runway touchdown alignment. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 21 degrees Celsius and a gentle tailwind of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees.
The total landing distance was 268 meters, accounting for 71% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 46 nautical miles, and the flight lasted for 25 minutes, during which the aircraft used 59 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft in question, a Kodiak 100, successfully landed at EDYW Wildberg, achieving a score of 96.2%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 26.0° at 1 nautical mile and 223 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot's decision to land on runway 03, which has a length of 378 meters, was a good one, as the threshold height was well-managed.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target threshold speed of 64 knots, coming in at 61 knots. This was a good sign, as it indicated a controlled descent and a smooth landing. The touchdown distance of 91 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely onto the runway.
The touchdown rate of -41 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a gentle and controlled touchdown. Furthermore, the runway touchdown alignment was spot on, showing that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's descent and landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 269°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind component was even less at 1 knot. These conditions made the landing even more challenging, but the pilot's skills and experience shone through.
The total landing distance of 268 meters was 71% of the runway length, which is a respectable figure. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft even after touchdown. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, and the aircraft's performance in challenging weather conditions.
