Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,131 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 540 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight took off from Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport, flying a Kodiak 100 aircraft on runway 05, which utilized only 304 meters (15% of the available runway) for takeoff. Upon reaching liftoff speed of 85 knots, the aircraft gained altitude and departed the local area over the Brainerd city. Climbing from 2,260 feet above sea level to 14,003 feet above sea level, an increase of 11,742 feet in just 12 minutes, the aircraft covered a distance of 23 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired cruising altitude, the aircraft transitioned to a level cruise, initially flying 8 miles east of Meidinger's Staples and covering a distance of 46 nautical miles in 14 minutes. The flight made multiple enroute level cruisers throughout the journey, one lasting 2 minutes near Clearbrook, and another covering 9 nautical miles south east of Bardwell Airstrip 5 minutes.
Before reaching Bemidji Regional Airport, the aircraft made its final approach from the north west, maintaining a heading of 133.0° at an altitude of 1,253 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the airport. Upon executing a successful landing on runway 13, which was 2,131 meters long with a threshold speed of 67 knots and touchdown speed of 59 knots, the touchdown rate was excellent at -53 feet per minute.
After landing, the aircraft taxiied to the parking area from the runway in 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total landing distance was 928 meters, utilizing only 44% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.4 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 125 nautical miles, and it consumed approximately 124 kilograms of fuel throughout the flight.
The aircraft that landed at KBJI Bemidji Regional Airport was a Kodiak 100, and based on the provided data, it achieved a score of 93.1%. The approach to runway 13 was conducted from the northwest, heading 133.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles when at an altitude of 1,253 ft above ground level.
During the final approach, the pilots maintained a good landing threshold height, along with a suitable threshold speed of 67 kt. The touchdown point was located 102 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 59 kt was still within acceptable limits. The pilots achieved an excellent touchdown rate of -53 fpm. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, being 11.9 m off the centreline.
Weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 15 °C. The wind speed was very light at 1 kt, with a direction of 270°. The crosswind and tailwind components were almost negligible, with both being at 1 kt. Despite favourable weather conditions, the total landing distance of 928 m accounted for 44% of the runway length.
Post-landing, it was noted that the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off-centre, deviating by 13.4 m from the centreline. Overall, the landing was a good performance, with the aircraft meeting several key requirements, but some minor issues with alignment could still be improved upon.
