Settle the descent rate
Next time
Add power on short final to hold 69 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 57 kt against a target of 69 kt, below reference speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 69 kt down to the threshold.
Departure
Hold the centreline with small, continuous rudder corrections aimed at a fixed point at the far end of the runway.
What happened: You drifted off the runway centreline by 6.5 m during the ground roll, and this flight's climbout carried a bank of 6.3° in Climb 1 that was still present as 8.1° in Climb 2. A wandering roll like this usually rolls straight into a wandering climb attitude that follows.
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: sink rate 1,824 fpm, more than the glideslope needed, glideslope 5.4° against the runway's 3°, centreline 6.6° off, against a 1° limit and wings 11° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 381 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 381 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 13 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Goroka Airport (AYGA), a Kodiak 100 aircraft initiated its takeoff roll on runway 17L. The aircraft accelerated to liftoff speed of 70 kt in 312 meters, which was 25% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a wind speed of 3 kt from 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft climbed out of Goroka, it transitioned into an enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 9,508 ft asl. The climb phase was notable for its steep rate of ascent, with an increase of 3,988 ft in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nm. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining an altitude of 9,508 ft asl for 5 minutes while covering a distance of 16 nm. The enroute descent phase began 3 miles east of Nomane Airport (AYNO), where the aircraft descended from 9,329 ft asl to 6,401 ft asl in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nm.
The final approach to runway 26 at Nomane Airport was initiated from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 270.0° at 1 nm and 359 ft agl. Touchdown occurred before the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 51 kt and a touchdown rate of 19 fpm, both of which were within acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, resulting in a total landing distance of 153 m, which was 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline. The total flight distance was 30 nm, taking 15 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 36 kg of fuel during the flight.
The final approach to runway 26 at AYNO Nomane Airport from the east, heading 270.0°, was initiated at 1 nm and 359 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a steady descent rate and a stable airspeed. The aircraft touched down before the threshold, indicating a slightly short landing. The touchdown speed of 51 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of 19 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.3 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a miscalculation of the touchdown point. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a headwind of 3 kt, were favorable for the landing. The crosswind component was negligible, with a wind direction of 271°. The total landing distance of 153 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 12.4 meters, which may have been due to the initial touchdown position or a slight deviation during the rollout. Despite this, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 87.5%. The pilot's ability to maintain a stable airspeed and descent rate during the approach, combined with a smooth touchdown and controlled rollout, contributed to a successful landing.
