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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
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 111 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 3 minutes, covering less than 1 nm during the taxi-out.
During the departure roll on runway 02, the aircraft used a takeoff distance of 346 m, representing 60 % of the runway, and achieved liftoff at 69 kt; ambient temperature was 15 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 270°, a 3 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
Climb commenced overhead AYGH Guhu Airstrip, rising from 4,061 ft asl to 7,009 ft asl - an increase of 2,947 ft - in 3 minutes while covering 6 nm.
Descent began 5 miles east of AYGH Guhu Airstrip, descending from 7,007 ft asl to 4,005 ft asl - a loss of 3,002 ft - in 4 minutes and traversing 9 nm.
The final approach to runway 20 at AYGH Guhu Airstrip was executed from the north-east on a heading of 207.0°, at 0 nm distance and 59 ft agl.
Landing on runway 20 was performed on a 573 m runway; the threshold speed was 65 kt, touchdown occurred 109 m down the runway at 56 kt with a descent rate of 91 fpm, and the touchdown point was 10.2 m off centreline. Weather conditions matched those at takeoff: 15 °C, wind 3 kt from 270°, a 3 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
The total landing roll measured 329 m, equivalent to 57 % of the runway length, and the rollout alignment was 9.7 m off the centreline.
In total, the flight covered 16 nm, took 12, and consumed 30 kg of fuel.
The Kodiak 100 executed the final approach to runway 20 at AYGH Guhu Airstrip from the north-east on a heading of 207.0° while 0 nm from the threshold and 59 ft AGL, with a temperature of 15 °C, wind 3 kt from 270°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component; the overall score was 94.4 %.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 65 kt, indicating proper energy management for the flare.
Touchdown occurred 109 m down the runway at a good speed of 56 kt and a perfect vertical rate of 91 fpm; however, the touchdown point was misaligned by 10.2 m from the centreline.
The total landing distance measured 329 m, representing 57 % of the 573 m runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.7 m from the centreline.
Focus on refining lateral alignment during the final seconds of the approach to reduce the 10 m touchdown offset and the 9 m rollout drift, which will bring the landing geometry fully within centreline tolerances.
