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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,530 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 275 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 17 at KBFA Boyne Mountain Airport. The Kodiak 100 aircraft accelerated down the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 75 kt. The takeoff distance was 213 m, which accounted for 13% of the runway length.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting overhead KBFA Boyne Mountain Airport. The climb was steep, with the aircraft rising from 1,265 ft above sea level to 2,629 ft in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm. This impressive climb rate allowed the aircraft to quickly gain altitude and establish a steady cruise.
The enroute level cruise started 2 miles north of KBFA Boyne Mountain Airport and lasted for 7 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 14 nm. This steady cruise phase allowed the aircraft to conserve fuel and maintain a comfortable altitude.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 20 at KACB Antrim County Airport. The approach was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 197.0° at 4 nm and 1,006 ft above ground level. The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 65 kt. However, the touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate was good at -152 fpm.
The landing distance was 273 m, which was a good result, accounting for 53% of the runway length. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.9 m from the centreline. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.7 m from the centreline.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 22 nm, and the flight used 38 kg of fuel. The flight was completed in 16 minutes, with the aircraft performing well throughout the journey.
The aircraft in question is a Kodiak 100, which successfully landed at KACB Antrim County Airport. The final approach was initiated from the north, heading 197.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,006 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its landing, achieving a score of 96.6%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 20, which has a length of 1,530 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a safe altitude before touchdown. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 72 knots, which may indicate a slight deviation in the pilot's control of the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown distance of 273 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent. However, the touchdown speed of 65 knots was a little fast, which may indicate that the pilot could have applied more gentle control during the final stages of the landing. The touchdown rate of -152 feet per minute (fpm) was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touchdown safely.
One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 6.9 meters from the centerline. This may indicate that the pilot could have made slight adjustments to the aircraft's heading or pitch during the final stages of the landing to achieve a more precise touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were reported as having a temperature of 21°C, which may have had some impact on the aircraft's performance. However, the overall landing was considered successful, with a total landing distance of 818 meters, which is 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 7.7 meters from the centerline, which may indicate that the pilot could have made slight adjustments to the aircraft's control during the rollout phase to achieve a more precise alignment.
