Flight Score
Departure
Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 67 kt, not after it.
What happened: You started the rotation at 85 kt, 18 kt past the 67 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 67 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 69 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 76 kt against a target of 69 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 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 for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 300 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 300 ft gate: wings 14° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,490 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 645 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Kodiak 100 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 88 kt in a distance of 1,112 m, which equated to 45% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of agility, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 19 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed with equal precision, taking 17 seconds to complete. The pilot then initiated a downwind turn, maintaining a 45-degree angle to the runway and a distance of 1 nm. The downwind leg itself was flown for 2 nm in 55 seconds, before the aircraft began its base leg turn, which was completed in 1 nm. The final approach was made from the north-east, with the aircraft descending to an altitude of 208 ft above ground level (agl) at a heading of 231.0°.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down 208 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 56 kt. The touchdown rate was an impressive -68 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 871 m, which represented 35% of the available runway length. Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out in a straight line, with the runway rollout alignment also being very good. The flight had consumed a total of 6 nm of distance, taking 4 minutes to complete, and had used 51 kg less fuel than expected.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the north east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 231.0° at 0 nm and 208 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a well-controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, coming in at 77 kt.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it performed well, with a touchdown speed of 56 kt and an excellent touchdown rate of -68 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing. The touchdown point was 208 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a headwind of 3 kt, contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 871 m was 35% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was scored 97.4%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
