Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power and pitch to hold the climb speed closer to target.
What happened: The climb speed during the departure climb was faster than the target.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target speed.
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on final to bring threshold speed back to 77 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 107 kt against a target of 77 kt, and touchdown ended up well past the normal point. Carrying excess threshold speed usually carries the touchdown long as the aircraft floats before settling.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, targeting 77 kt at the threshold.
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.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: no landing flap set and speed 79 kt FAST on the reference speed of 77 kt.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 64 kt FAST on the reference speed of 77 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,790 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 870 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Kodiak 100 departed from runway 07 at EDDS Stuttgart Airport, accelerating through a takeoff roll of 490 m (16 % of the runway) and lifting off at 92 kt. Ambient conditions were 34 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 206°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 3 kt tail-wind component.
Climb commenced one mile west of Denkendorf, where the aircraft rose from 1,959 ft asl to 5,933 ft asl, an altitude gain of 3,974 ft achieved in 7 minutes while covering 19 nm.
Level cruise began overhead Murr and continued for 24 minutes, during which the flight covered 75 nm at a steady altitude.
Descent was initiated one mile west of Alzenau, descending from 5,996 ft asl to 1,620 ft asl, a loss of 4,376 ft in 6 minutes over a distance of 17 nm.
The final approach to runway 25R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport was flown from the east on a heading of 250.0°, intercepting the glide path at 4 nm and 1,270 ft agl.
Landing on runway 25R, which is 2,797 m long, occurred with a threshold speed of 107 kt. Touchdown was recorded 432 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 74 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 156 fpm and a lateral offset of 6.6 m from the centreline. The total landing distance measured 1,158 m (41 % of the runway). Weather at the time mirrored departure conditions: 34 °C, wind 4 kt from 206°, 3 kt cross-wind and a 3 kt head-wind component.
Runway rollout showed a slight centreline deviation of 11.4 m before the aircraft exited the paved surface.
The aircraft taxied to the parking area, a movement that lasted 6 minutes and covered 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 121 nm, required 47 minutes of airborne time and consumed 116 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 25R at EDDF Frankfurt Airport was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the flaps were not set, with the aircraft on a heading of 250.0° at 4 nm and 1,270 ft agl.
At threshold the height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 107 kt.
Touchdown occurred 432 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 74 kt, which the input describes as fast, and a vertical rate of minus 156 fpm that was rated good; the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 6.6 m from the centreline.
The rollout used a total landing distance of 1,158 m, representing 41 % of the 2,797 m runway, and the aircraft was slightly misaligned by 11.4 m from the centreline during rollout.
Ensure flap configuration is completed before reaching the 1,000 ft gate to achieve a stabilized approach, and manage speed to meet the appropriate threshold speed rather than the excessive 107 kt recorded.
