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 699 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 699 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 62 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 0.49 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Goodwood Aerodrome, the Kodiak 100 began its takeoff roll on runway 32, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 92 kt in a distance of 463 m, which accounted for 48% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off into a calm local weather environment, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft transitioned to the enroute climb phase, it began its ascent from 685 ft above sea level, reaching a maximum altitude of 167 ft above sea level in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nm. This climb profile demonstrated a satisfactory rate of ascent, with a notable increase in altitude. The aircraft then commenced its final approach to runway 28 at Goodwood Aerodrome, aligning itself with the runway from the east at a heading of 277.0° and an altitude of 64 ft above ground level.
The Kodiak 100 touched down on runway 28 with a touchdown distance of 60 m, which was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 49 kt was also satisfactory, and the aircraft's descent rate of -324 fpm was firm but not excessive. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase. The total flight distance of 4 nm was completed in 2 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 5 kg.
The final approach to runway 28 at EGHR Goodwood Aerodrome from the east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 277.0° at 0 nm and 64 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with the pilot successfully navigating the aircraft to the runway threshold. The threshold height was good, indicating a well-executed approach.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 60 m was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 49 kt was also good. However, the threshold speed was a little below the target at 56 kt. The touchdown rate of -324 fpm was firm, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline.
The rollout phase was smooth, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a stable and controlled landing. The crosswind and headwind components were negligible, at 0 kt and 1 kt respectively. Overall, the landing was scored 95.6%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control.
