Maintain the centreline
A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,831 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 317 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 23 at AYPU Walluanda Airport. The Kodiak 100 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 414 meters, which was 76% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 67 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 300 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southwest of AYPU Walluanda Airport. The climb started from an altitude of 6,683 feet above sea level and continued to 12,367 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,685 feet in just 4 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise phase began 3 miles south of AGK Kagua Airport and lasted for 5 minutes, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles.
The enroute descent phase started 1 mile south of AYXG Sugu Airstrip and involved a descent from 12,377 feet above sea level to 4,518 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,859 feet in 5 minutes. The descent covered a distance of 16 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 27 at AYMR Moro Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 278.0 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,754 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 27 at AYMR Moro Airport was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 63 knots, which was slightly fast. The touchdown distance was 316 meters, which was good. The touchdown rate was perfect at -50 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 210 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 1,165 meters, which was 64% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.9 meters from the centerline. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 45 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 19 minutes. The aircraft used 44 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The aircraft in question, a Kodiak 100, successfully landed at AYMR Moro Airport, achieving a score of 94.5%. The final approach to runway 27 was initiated from the east, with the aircraft heading 278.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,754 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold height and threshold speed, reaching 70 knots as it touched down on the runway. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 316 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 63 knots was slightly faster than ideal, indicating a minor deviation from optimal landing procedures.
The aircraft's descent rate was spot on, with a perfect touchdown rate of -50 feet per minute. Moreover, the runway touchdown alignment was flawless, indicating precise control and navigation during the final stages of the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 210°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was a mere 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 1,165 meters was within the acceptable range, accounting for 64% of the runway length. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.9 meters from the centerline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal path. Despite this minor issue, the overall performance of the aircraft and its crew was impressive, resulting in a high score of 94.5%.
