Flight Score
Arrival
Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink is fully arrested before the wheels meet the runway.
What happened: Landing g force ran high at 0.3 g through the flare, and the touchdown followed through firm at 0.3 g.
Watch for: Watch the g meter at touchdown against the normal touchdown rate band.
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 500 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 500 ft gate: centreline 8.4° off, against a 1° limit.
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 66 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 0.30 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing Goodwood Aerodrome (EGHR) on runway 14, the Kodiak 100 began its takeoff roll, accelerating to liftoff speed of 74 kt in a distance of 426 m, which accounted for 44% of the available runway. The aircraft lifted off smoothly, clearing the ground with a minimal margin for error. Local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a negligible wind of 1 kt at 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component.
As the aircraft transitioned to level cruise, it flew overhead Westhampnett, West Sussex, England, maintaining a steady altitude for 3 minutes while covering a distance of 2 nm. This brief period of level flight allowed the crew to assess the aircraft's performance and make any necessary adjustments. Following the level cruise, the aircraft began its enroute climb, ascending from 156 ft above sea level to 783 ft asl in a distance of 3 nm, covering an altitude increase of 626 ft in just 2 minutes. This climb phase showcased the Kodiak 100's ability to efficiently gain altitude in a short period.
The total flight distance of 5 nm was completed in 6 minutes, with the aircraft consuming a fuel quantity of -5 kg. This unusual fuel consumption figure suggests that the aircraft may have been operating under optimal conditions, with a high degree of efficiency and minimal drag. The flight's brevity and low fuel consumption underscore the Kodiak 100's reputation as a versatile and capable aircraft, well-suited for a variety of operations.
The final approach to runway 28 at EGHR Goodwood Aerodrome was flown from the east on a heading of 277.0° with the aircraft at 0 nm and 161 ft agl.
During the threshold and flare the aircraft crossed the good threshold height and the threshold speed was a little below target at 60 kt.
Touchdown occurred 62 m down the runway at a speed of 57 kt, which was good, with a touchdown rate described as fair at minus 287 fpm. The touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 6.7 m from the centreline.
Rollout alignment was very good and the total landing distance was 216 m, representing 31 % of the 699 m runway.
To refine the already strong performance, focus on reducing the lateral deviation at touchdown to bring the touchdown point closer to the centreline, and work on achieving a slightly flatter vertical profile to improve the touchdown rate.
