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 382 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 382 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 32 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 34 at AYGW Guwasa Airport, where the Kodiak 100 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 290 meters, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 68 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead AYGW Guwasa Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 5,074 feet above sea level to 6,338 feet above sea level, an increase of 1,264 feet in just 5 minutes, while covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 26 at AYNO Nomane Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 263.0 degrees at an altitude of 304 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing on runway 26 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 60 knots and a touchdown distance of 29 meters. The touchdown rate was perfect at 307 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at the time of departure, with a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 272 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, with a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 275 meters, which accounted for 72% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 19 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was characterized by a smooth and controlled climb, a successful final approach, and a good landing.
The aircraft in question, a Kodiak 100, successfully landed at AYNO Nomane Airport, achieving a score of 99.0%. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 263.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 304 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 26, which has a length of 382 meters.
Upon touchdown, the threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 62 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 29 meters, and the touchdown speed was recorded at 60 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was particularly impressive, coming in at a perfect 307 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 21°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 272°. The crosswind component was negligible at 0 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which likely contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance was 275 meters, which is 72% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-controlled during the landing and rollout phases.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating excellent control and precision during the final approach and touchdown phases.
