Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 4.8°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
Arrival
Add power on final to cross the threshold at 70 kt, correcting the speed before the flare begins.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 11 kt below the 70 kt target, and the flare that followed raised the nose only 2.6° with little of the sink taken out. Shallow, underpowered approaches like this usually carry through into a firm touchdown.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 70 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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 8.0° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.8° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 612 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 612 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 12 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 30 at AYFE Feramin Airport in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 30, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 67 kt and became airborne after a takeoff run of 347 m, which represented 57 % of the runway length; ambient temperature was 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced immediately after liftoff, with the airplane climbing from 4 801 ft asl to 6 061 ft asl-a gain of 1 260 ft-in 1 minute while covering 3 nm over the Feramin Airport vicinity.
Level cruise began 3 miles south of AYTE Telefomin, persisted for 4 minutes and spanned 10 nm at the assigned altitude.
Descent to the final approach began from 1 453 ft agl and continued to -23 ft agl in 135 seconds, during which the aircraft met the stabilisation gate criteria.
The final approach was executed to runway 12 at AYFE Feramin Airport, with the same weather conditions of 16 °C temperature, 2 kt wind from 270°, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt tail-wind component.
Landing on runway 12 was achieved with a threshold speed of 59 kt, a touchdown distance of 12 m, a touchdown speed of 58 kt and a touchdown rate of minus 285 fpm; the wheel-track was offset 3.8 m from the centreline, and the total landing roll measured 430 m, equivalent to 70 % of the 612 m runway.
Runway rollout alignment was reported as very good, and the aircraft came to a stop well within the remaining runway length.
In total, the flight covered 17 nm, lasted 9 minutes and consumed 24 kg of fuel.
