Flight Score
Departure
Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 67 kt, not after it.
What happened: You started the rotation at 83 kt, 16 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 75 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 arrival was smooth.
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 86 kt in a distance of 1,110 m, which accounted for 45% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a negligible wind of 1 kt at 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated impressive agility, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 16 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was equally swift, taking 17 seconds to complete. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, maintaining a 45-degree angle to the runway and a distance of 1 nm. The downwind leg itself was 2 nm long, covering the distance in 56 seconds. The base leg turn was another 1 nm, with the aircraft aligning itself for the final approach at an angle of 19.1° to the runway. The aircraft then began its final approach from the north-east, descending to an altitude of 210 ft above ground level (agl) at a heading of 231.0°.
The Kodiak 100 landed smoothly on runway 23, with a touchdown point located 207 m beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 55 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -80 fpm was excellent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the aircraft maintained a good rollout alignment throughout the remaining distance. The total landing distance was 889 m, accounting for 36% of the available runway length. The flight itself was relatively short, covering a total distance of 7 nm in 6 minutes, and the aircraft used a total of -11 kg of fuel.
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 210 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, registering at 76 kt.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it performed well, with a touchdown speed of 55 kt and an excellent touchdown rate of -80 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing. The touchdown point was 207 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance of 889 m was 36% 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 executed with a high degree of skill and precision, resulting in a score of 97.9%.
