Flight Score
Departure
Use smooth, coordinated aileron inputs to keep the wings level during the climb.
What happened: Bank angle increased during the second climb stage, excessive for a wings-level climb.
Watch for: Watch the attitude indicator and keep bank angle near zero.
Arrival
Pick a point at the far end of the runway and make small rudder corrections to track the centreline.
What happened: The aircraft drifted off the centreline on approach.
Watch for: Runway alignment against the centreline.
See Arrival Approach
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: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: centreline 1.4° off, against a 1° limit and wings 11° of bank, against a 10° limit.
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 46 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Kodiak 100 taxied to runway 02 at AYGH Guhu Airstrip and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft lifted off after a takeoff run of 301 m, representing 52 % of the available runway, at a liftoff speed of 65 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind.
Climb began directly overhead the airfield, with the airplane accelerating from 4,095 ft asl to 7,513 ft asl, a gain of 3,417 ft achieved in 3 minutes while covering 7 nm.
Descent was initiated 4 nm east of AYGH, where the aircraft reduced altitude from 7,511 ft asl to 4,306 ft asl, a loss of 3,205 ft in 3 minutes over a distance of 7 nm.
The final approach to runway 20 was flown from the north-east, maintaining a heading of 19.0° at 0 nm and an altitude of 364 ft agl. Weather at the time was 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, a cross-wind of 1 kt and no head-wind.
Landing on runway 20, which is 573 m long, was executed with a threshold speed of 52 kt. Touchdown occurred 44 m down the runway at 49 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 19 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 8.7 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 214 m, equivalent to 37 % of the runway, and the aircraft’s alignment drifted 10.2 m from the centreline during the roll.
In total, the flight covered 29 nm, required 14 minutes of elapsed time and consumed 34 kg of fuel.
The Kodiak 100 established a final approach to runway 20 at AYGH Guhu Airstrip from the north-east, maintaining a heading of 19.0° at 0 nm and 364 ft AGL. Local weather was 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, providing a 1 kt crosswind and no headwind.
Threshold height was reported as good and the threshold speed was 52 kt, well below the target, prompting a reminder to avoid a stall.
Touchdown occurred 44 m from the runway threshold at a speed of 49 kt, with a vertical rate of -19 fpm described as perfect. The touchdown point was misaligned by 8.7 m from the centreline and the total landing distance was 214 m, representing 37 % of the 573 m runway.
During rollout the aircraft remained slightly off centreline, with a lateral deviation of 10.2 m.
Refine centreline tracking through the flare and rollout to reduce the 8.7 m and 10.2 m deviations, and adjust the approach speed to meet the target value while maintaining a safe margin above stall.
