MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 107 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 52 kt fast at 159 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 107 kt in the climb
Arrival
Reduce power on final so the aircraft arrives at 69 kt over the threshold instead of carrying excess speed.
What happened: Crossing the threshold at 85 kt against a 69 kt target usually carries extra energy into the flare as a balloon, and the sink that returns afterward usually arrives hard at touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 69 kt at the threshold
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: seven checks where the approach path is 152 m above the runway. The 305 m gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 152 m gate: sink rate 11.2 m/s, more than the glideslope needed, centreline 6.0° off, against a 1° limit and wings 18° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 920 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 920 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 337 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Kodiak 100 departed from runway 35 at ENBR Bergen Airport, Flesland. Takeoff used 416 m, 15 % of the runway, and rotation occurred at 83 kt. The local weather was 15 °C with wind 9 kt from 341°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 9 kt head-wind.
During the initial climb the aircraft reached 304.8 m agl in 101 seconds, averaging 2.5 m/s and attaining 157 kt at the top. The climb continued from 288 m asl to 2,467 m asl in 5 minutes while covering 11 nm, beginning 3 miles south-east of Askoy. Level flight followed at 2,438 m asl for 5 minutes over 14 nm, starting 1 mile south-east of Knarvik. A descent from 2,432 m asl to 1,850 m asl took 3 minutes and covered 9 nm, beginning 7 miles east of Lindas. The aircraft then climbed from 1,851 m asl to 2,279 m asl in 2 minutes over 4 nm, starting 10 miles east of ENEI Rompene Airport Eivindvik.
A subsequent descent from 2,276 m asl to 2,037 m asl lasted 2 minutes and covered 5 nm, beginning 8 miles east of ENEI Rompene Airport Eivindvik. Level flight at 1,951 m asl continued for 7 minutes across 19 nm, starting 11 miles north-east of ENEI Rompene Airport Eivindvik. Descent from 1,905 m asl to 1,164 m asl took 5 minutes over 13 nm, beginning 3 miles west of Sande. Level flight at 1,158 m asl lasted 2 minutes for 4 nm, starting 5 miles south-east of Forde.
The aircraft climbed from 1,226 m asl to 1,700 m asl in 2 minutes covering 4 nm, starting 8 miles east of Sande. Level flight at 1,859 m asl continued for 8 minutes across 26 nm, beginning 10 miles north-west of Balestrand. A descent from 1,857 m asl to 622 m asl took 4 minutes and covered 9 nm, beginning 2 miles west of ENSG Sogndal Airport, Haukåsen.
Final approach to runway 24 at ENSG Sogndal Airport, Haukåsen, descended from 207.0 m agl to 10.6 m agl in 44 seconds. At 500 ft above the runway the stabilisation checks were met for gear down, landing flap, glideslope and speed; they were not met for sink rate, centreline and wings level. Configuration on final was landing gear up at 1,395.1 m agl, 147 kt; final flap position 2 at 445.3 m agl, 112 kt.
Landing on runway 24 occurred with a good threshold height but a threshold speed of 85 kt, which was too high. The flare was described as fair, though the aircraft ballooned in the flare. Touchdown was at 73 kt, a little fast, and the touchdown rate was firm at minus 1.7 m/s. Touchdown distance was 337 m, and the touchdown point was misaligned by 11.6 m from the centreline. No bounce occurred. Total landing distance was 518 m, 56 % of the 920 m runway, and rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.4 m from centreline. Local weather at landing was 15 °C with wind 5 kt from 342°, a 5 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind.
The flight covered 124 nm in 46 minutes and used 90 kg of fuel.
