Flight Score
Track the centreline
Next time
Track the centreline through touchdown using small rudder corrections against a point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: The aircraft touched down off the centreline at 11 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 9.7 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
Departure
Hold the nose until reaching 75 kt before rotating.
What happened: Rotation began at 69 kt, 6 kt before the 75 kt target.
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 4.6° off, against a 1° 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 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.
