Flight Score
Departure
Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 67 kt, not after it.
What happened: You started the rotation at 90 kt, 23 kt past the 67 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 67 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 69 kt before crossing the threshold.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 75 kt, 6 kt above the 69 kt target.
Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 69 kt at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
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 for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: wings 16° of bank, against a 10° limit.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,490 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 373 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
The Kodiak 100 taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft accelerated over a takeoff distance of 611 m, representing 25 % of the available runway, and lifted off at 91 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 269°, giving a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 1 kt.
During the approach the pilot entered a left-hand pattern from runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 28 seconds for the entry and another less-than-1 nm segment in 16 seconds for the crosswind leg. The downwind turn spanned 1 nm with a 78.7° angle to the runway, followed by a 2 nm downwind leg completed in 50 seconds. The base turn covered 2 nm at a 48.9° angle, after which the base leg was less than 1 nm in 22 seconds, and the final turn was less than 1 nm in 30 seconds. The final approach was established from the north-east on a heading of 232.0°, at 1 nm and 204 ft agl.
The aircraft landed on runway 23, whose length is 2,493 m, with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was recorded at 75 kt, above the target. Touchdown occurred 375 m down the runway at a speed of 62 kt, with a descent rate of minus 88 fpm and a very good runway alignment. Weather at the time remained 16 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 269°, cross-wind 1 kt and head-wind 1 kt.
After touchdown the aircraft decelerated along the runway and came to a stop, completing the rollout phase without incident.
In total the flight covered 8 nm, required approximately 5 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 10 kg of fuel.
The Kodiak 100 established a final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the north-east, tracking a heading of 232.0° at one nautical mile and 204 ft AGL. Local conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 269°, providing a 1 kt headwind and 1 kt crosswind, and the threshold height was reported as good.
At threshold the aircraft’s speed was 75 kt, noted as well above the target, while the height over the threshold remained good. The flare was executed from the established height without further comment.
Touchdown occurred 375 m down the runway, a distance described as good, with a touchdown speed of 62 kt judged good. The vertical rate was -88 fpm, rated excellent, and runway alignment at touchdown was very good.
Maintain the intended approach speed by reducing to the target value to avoid excess speed at threshold, while preserving the already stable approach path and alignment.
