Flight Score
Departure
Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 67 kt, not after it.
What happened: You started the rotation at 95 kt, 28 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 86 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.
Spacing cues are relative to your eyepoint, so two simmers with different FOV settings following the same wingtip cue fly patterns half a mile different in width, and a wide FOV compresses depth so the runway on base looks further away than it is, biasing you towards a late turn. Pick a camera position and FOV, save it, and never change it, because every judgement you calibrate is calibrated to that picture.

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 1.1° 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 2,488 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 825 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 96 kt. The aircraft utilized 53% of the available runway length, covering a distance of 1,331 meters before lifting off into the air. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from a direction of 269 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it maintained a steady pace, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 76 seconds. The subsequent downwind turn was executed with precision, with the aircraft covering a distance of 1 nm while maintaining an angle of 45 degrees relative to the runway. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the south-west, with the aircraft descending to an altitude of 279 ft above ground level (agl) at a distance of 1 nm from the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly higher than optimal at 86 kt, resulting in a touchdown point that was 387 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone.
The landing was otherwise successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 55 kt and a rate of -92 fpm, indicating an excellent touchdown performance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating by 3.8 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance covered 1,105 meters, representing 44% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft utilized 11 kg of fuel, covering a total distance of 3 nm in 5 minutes. The runway rollout alignment was deemed very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration.
The final approach to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the south west was initiated at 1 nm and 279 ft above ground level, heading 51.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height observed. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the desired value at 86 kt, indicating a need for adjustment in the approach configuration.
The touchdown characteristics were generally good, with a touchdown speed of 55 kt and an excellent touchdown rate of -92 fpm. The touchdown point was located 387 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the recommended area. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 3.8 m from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal alignment. Local weather conditions were calm, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 269°.
The total landing distance of 1,105 m was 44% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 91.8% achieved.
