Flight Score
Departure
Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 67 kt, not after it.
What happened: You started the rotation at 89 kt, 22 kt past the 67 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 67 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.
What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.
Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.
See Arrival Approach
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 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.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 3.5° off, against a 1° 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 685 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 90 kt in a distance of 733 meters, which accounted for 29% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a negligible wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
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 22 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was equally impressive, with a distance of less than 1 nm covered in 18 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind leg, where it maintained a steady heading and altitude, covering a distance of 4 nm in 101 seconds. The base leg turn was executed with precision, with an angle to the runway of 32.9°, and the final approach was made from the north-east, aligning with the runway at a heading of 219.0°.
The aircraft touched down on runway 23 at a speed of 55 kt, with a touchdown rate of -85 fpm, indicating an excellent rate of descent. The touchdown point was 247 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The aircraft's performance was further highlighted by its fuel efficiency, using only 15 kg of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a total distance of 12 nm in 7 minutes. Overall, the flight demonstrated a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the north east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 219.0° at 2 nautical miles and 730 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a well-established visual reference to the runway environment. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering at 76 knots.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was located 247 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. Nevertheless, the touchdown speed of 55 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -85 feet per minute was exceptional, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a negligible wind of 1 knot from 270°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 90.4%. The rollout phase was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout. The combination of a good touchdown speed, excellent touchdown rate, and perfect runway alignment resulted in a safe and efficient landing.
