Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 14 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 8.1° of bank in the first climb segment and 15° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
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 12 m, and drifting off centreline at touchdown usually carries through into the rollout, as it did here with alignment reaching 7.5 m.
Watch for: Watch runway centreline position, keeping deviation inside the limit through touchdown and rollout.
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

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 152 m above the runway. The 305 m gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 152 m gate: centreline 3.3° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 835 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 835 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 222 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Kodiak 100 taxied to runway 30 at BIVM Vestmannaeyjar Airport and positioned for departure roll.
During the take-off roll the aircraft used 455 m of runway, representing 38 % of the available length, and lifted off at 85 kt. Ambient conditions were 2 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
The first climb commenced approximately 1 nm south-west of Vestmannaeyjar, climbing from 302 m asl to 1 057 m asl - a gain of 755.8 m - in 2 minutes while covering 6 nm.
A brief level cruise followed directly overhead BIVM, lasting 2 minutes and extending 5 nm.
The second climb began about 3 nm south of BIBA Bakki Airport, ascending from 1 146 m asl to 2 374 m asl - an increase of 1 227.4 m - over 8 minutes and traversing 23 nm.
Subsequent level cruise started 8 nm north-east of BIMK Múlakot Airport, persisting for 12 minutes and covering 34 nm.
Descent operations were initiated 4 nm south-west of BITO Thorisos Airport, descending from 2 375 m asl to 776 m asl - a loss of 1 599.1 m - in 7 minutes while traveling 20 nm.
On final approach to runway 05 at BISP Sprengisandur Airport the aircraft descended from 186.3 m agl to 9.5 m agl in 133 seconds and met the stabilisation-gate criteria.
Landing on runway 05 (length 835 m) was achieved with a threshold speed of 74 kt. Touchdown occurred 222 m down the runway at 68 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 0.9 m/s and a lateral offset of 7.1 m from the centreline. Local weather was 1 °C, wind 2 kt from 269°, a 2 kt cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind component. The total landing roll measured 418 m, equivalent to 50 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was recorded as very good.
The rollout phase concluded with the aircraft remaining well aligned on the runway centreline.
In total the flight covered 93 nm, required 35 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 108 kg of fuel.
