Flight Score
Departure
Apply small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft tracked 46 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 3.9°, into the first climb.
Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline
Arrival
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 5.6 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 7.5 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 305 m and 152 m above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 305 m gate: no landing flap set and sink rate 12.9 m/s, more than the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,052 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 267 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Kodiak 100 departed Reykjavik Airport (BIRK) on runway 31, accelerating through a take-off roll of 431 m which represented 37 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 88 kt. Ambient conditions were 2 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a cross-component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.
During the climb the aircraft rose from 22 m above sea level to 765 m asl, an altitude gain of 743.3 m accomplished in three minutes while covering six nautical miles, the climb beginning overhead the departure airport.
Level cruise commenced three miles west of Alftanes and was maintained for four minutes, during which the aircraft travelled eleven nautical miles at a constant altitude.
The descent for the final approach to Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) began at 555.4 m agl and was reduced to 21.3 m agl over a period of 121 seconds.
On final approach to runway 28 the aircraft satisfied the stabilisation gates, confirming the required flight-path and speed parameters before touchdown.
Touchdown occurred on runway 28, whose length is 3,052 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 76 kt, slightly above the target. The aircraft touched down 265 m from the threshold at a speed of 70 kt, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 0.8 m/s. The touchdown point was offset 7.8 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance measured 465 m, equivalent to 15 % of the runway. Local weather at the time was 1 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a cross-wind of 0 kt and a head-wind of 2 kt.
Runway rollout alignment was noted to be 9.5 m off the centreline before the aircraft exited the paved surface.
The aircraft taxied to the parking area in four minutes, covering a distance of two nautical miles.
In total the flight covered 22 nm, required 15 minutes of airborne time and consumed 43 kg of fuel.
The Kodiak 100 recorded a score of 92.0 % on the landing at runway 28, BIKF Keflavik International Airport. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the flaps were not set and the sink rate was too high; the aircraft descended from 555.4 m AGL to 21.3 m AGL in 121 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates. Local weather was 1 °C with wind 2 kt from 270°, crosswind 0 kt and headwind 2 kt.
During the threshold and flare phase the threshold speed was slightly above target at 76 kt and the threshold height was reported as good.
Touchdown occurred 265 m down the runway, with a touchdown speed of 70 kt described as a little fast and a smooth vertical rate of -0.8 m/s. The touchdown point was misaligned by 7.8 m from the centreline and the total landing distance was 465 m, representing 15 % of the 3,052 m runway.
Rollout alignment was slightly off, with the aircraft deviating 9.5 m from the centreline after touchdown.
Ensure flaps are selected and the approach is fully stabilised by the 1,000 ft gate to control sink rate, and aim to keep the touchdown point within centreline tolerance to reduce lateral deviation during rollout.
