Flight Score
Departure
Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 67 kt, not after it.
What happened: You started the rotation at 87 kt, 20 kt past the 67 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 67 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 70 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 78 kt against a target of 70 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 70 kt at the threshold.
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

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 300 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.
At the 300 ft gate: centreline 1.7° off, against a 1° limit and wings 14° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,490 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 754 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Kodiak 100 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 88 kt in a distance of 660 m, which accounted for 26% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a swift and efficient turn, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 29 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed in a similarly short distance of less than 1 nm in 14 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind leg, where it maintained a steady distance of 2 nm in 39 seconds. The base leg turn and subsequent base leg were completed in distances of 2 nm and less than 1 nm, respectively, in times of 24 and 18 seconds. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft descending to an altitude of 258 ft above ground level (agl) at a heading of 230.0°, approximately 1 nm from the runway threshold.
The Kodiak 100 landed on runway 23 at Groningen Airport Eelde, with a touchdown point located 317 m beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 53 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -115 fpm was smooth. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 m from the centreline. The total flight distance of 8 nm was completed in 4 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 10 kg. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, considering the favorable weather conditions and the relatively short runway length of 2,493 m.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was initiated from the north east, heading 230.0° at 1 nm and 258 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was well above the target, registering 79 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's performance characteristics or the pilots' decision to maintain a higher speed for the approach.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown speed of 53 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -115 fpm was smooth, indicating a well-controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control. The touchdown point was 317 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance but not excessively so.
The rollout phase was completed without incident, and the aircraft came to a stop within a reasonable distance. The overall score for the landing was 93.9%, indicating a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, with a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
