Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 71 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 82 kt, 11 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 71 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Add power on short final to hold 69 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 46 kt against a target of 69 kt, below reference speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 69 kt down to the threshold.

Bank angle in the pattern is conventionally kept to 20 to 30 degrees, and the base-to-final turn is where that convention earns its keep. Stall speed rises with bank because the wing must produce more lift in a turn. Roughly 7 per cent higher at 30 degrees, about 19 per cent at 45, and around 40 per cent at 60. At 65 kt on base you don't have much margin to spend steepening a turn to salvage an overshoot.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply. These checks are the approach's score.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,141 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,141 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 112 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
A Kodiak 100 aircraft departed from EGHR Goodwood Aerodrome, navigating a final approach to runway 14 from the north-west. At an altitude of 688 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile from the runway, the aircraft was heading 140.0°. The approach was characterized by a relatively low airspeed, with a threshold speed of 47 knots, which was below the target speed. This necessitated caution to avoid stalling the aircraft.
Upon touchdown, the Kodiak 100 demonstrated a satisfactory performance, with a touchdown distance of 113 meters and a touchdown speed of 44 knots. The aircraft's descent rate was particularly impressive, with a negative rate of -54 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating 13.6 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a negligible wind of 1 knot from 270°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
The flight, which covered a total distance of 4 nautical miles, utilized approximately 7 kilograms of fuel and lasted 3 minutes. The aircraft's performance was influenced by the favorable weather conditions, which minimized the impact of any crosswind or tailwind. Overall, the landing was executed safely, with the aircraft demonstrating a good balance of speed and control.
The aircraft touched down on runway 14 at EGHR Goodwood Aerodrome, demonstrating a satisfactory approach quality. The final approach was initiated from a heading of 140.0°, approximately 1 nautical mile from the threshold, at an altitude of 688 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited good touchdown characteristics, with a distance of 113 meters and a speed of 44 knots. The touchdown rate of -54 feet per minute was particularly impressive, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating by 13.6 meters from the centreline. This deviation may have been influenced by the minimal crosswind and tailwind conditions, which were both at 1 knot.
The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 88.9%. The threshold speed of 47 knots was well below the target, necessitating caution to avoid stalling. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and minimal wind, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
