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.

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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 573 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 573 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 40 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Kodiak 100 taxied from the parking area to runway 02 at AYGH Guhu Airstrip in a duration of 10 minutes, covering a ground distance of 2 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 02, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 71 kt and became airborne after a takeoff run of 357 m, representing 62 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 16 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 3 kt and a tail-wind component of 1 kt.
The climb commenced overhead the airfield, climbing from 4,187 ft asl to 8,011 ft asl-a gain of 3,824 ft-in 3 minutes while traversing 6 nm.
Descent began 5 miles east of the airfield, descending from 8,008 ft asl to 4,036 ft asl, a loss of 3,972 ft in 4 minutes and covering 10 nm.
On final approach to runway 20, the aircraft approached from the north-east on a heading of 204.0° at 0 nm and 86 ft agl.
Touchdown occurred before the runway threshold at a speed of 56 kt and a vertical rate of 43 fpm; the touchdown point was offset 12.0 m from the centreline. Weather at the time was 15 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 3 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt. The landing roll measured 166 m, equal to 29 % of the runway length.
Rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 11.3 m as the aircraft decelerated and exited the runway.
In total, the flight covered 18 nm, lasted 12 minutes and consumed 41 kg of fuel.
The Kodiak 100 established a final approach to runway 20 at AYGH Guhu Airstrip from the north-east, tracking a heading of 204.0° at 0 nm and 86 ft AGL. Local conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 270°, providing a 3 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt head-wind.
During the threshold and flare the aircraft touched down before the runway threshold, maintaining a touchdown speed of 56 kt and a vertical rate of 43 fpm, both described as good and perfect respectively.
Touchdown occurred with the main gear 12.0 m off the runway centreline, indicating a misalignment at the point of contact.
The rollout continued slightly off centreline by 11.3 m, and the aircraft stopped after traveling 166 m, which represents 29 % of the available runway length.
Improve lateral alignment on both touchdown and rollout to reduce the 12.0 m and 11.3 m deviations; tighter centreline tracking will enhance precision without affecting the strong overall score of 90.8 %.
