Arrival
Apply small rudder corrections at touchdown, aiming at a point at the far end of the runway, to stay on the centreline.
What happened: Touchdown drifted 4.6 m off the centreline, and landings like this usually carry that drift into the rollout, where the alignment error grew to 6.6 m.
Watch for: Runway centreline: aircraft tracking directly over it through touchdown and rollout.
Spacing cues are relative to your eyepoint, so two simmers with different FOV settings following the same wingtip cue fly patterns half a mile different in width, and a wide FOV compresses depth so the runway on base looks further away than it is, biasing you towards a late turn. Pick a camera position and FOV, save it, and never change it, because every judgement you calibrate is calibrated to that picture.

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 500 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,225 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 218 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Liverpool John Lennon Airport, the Kodiak 100 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 27, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 75 kt in 653 meters, which accounted for 29% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt from the west. As the aircraft lifted off, it entered a left-hand pattern, navigating a 2-nautical-mile distance in 106 seconds to establish itself on the downwind leg.
The aircraft then executed a left-hand pattern crosswind turn, covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 15 seconds. Following this, it entered the downwind turn, maintaining a 45-degree angle to the runway and a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 09, descending from 732 feet above ground level (agl) at a heading of 86.0°. The landing was executed smoothly, with a touchdown speed of 54 kt and a touchdown rate of -114 fpm. The aircraft's touchdown distance was 215 meters, which was 23% of the runway's length.
The Kodiak 100 aircraft landed safely on runway 09, with a runway touchdown alignment that was perfect. The local weather conditions remained favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle tailwind of 1 kt. The aircraft's total landing distance was 502 meters, and its runway rollout alignment was very good. The flight, which covered a total distance of 12 nautical miles, consumed 251 kilograms of fuel and lasted for 8 minutes.
The aircraft touched down on runway 09 at EGGP Liverpool John Lennon Airport with a smooth touchdown rate of -114 fpm, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown speed of 54 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown distance of 215 m was good, considering the available runway length of 2,224 m. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 72 kt, but this did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.
The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a perfect runway touchdown alignment. The aircraft maintained its centreline alignment throughout the rollout phase, demonstrating good control and coordination. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt at 269 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The overall landing performance was highly satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 502 m, which accounted for only 23% of the available runway length. This indicates a well-executed landing, with a good balance between touchdown speed and distance. The score of 99.0% reflects the high standard of the landing, with only minor deviations from the target threshold speed.
