Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 71 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 88 kt, 17 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 71 kt at liftoff
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 70 kt, 1 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: centreline 1.6° off, against a 1° limit and wings 26° of bank, against a 10° limit.
Side view — the last 1,120 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 1,120 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 248 m short of the threshold. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Goodwood Aerodrome's runway 28, the Kodiak 100 aircraft began its takeoff roll, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 88 kt in a distance of 636 m, which accounted for 91% of the available runway. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C, with a negligible wind of 1 kt from a direction of 270°, resulting in a slight headwind component.
Following a successful takeoff, the aircraft entered a right-hand traffic pattern, navigating the circuit with precision. The right-hand pattern entry and crosswind legs were completed in distances of less than 1 nm in 18 and 30 seconds, respectively. The downwind turn, which covered a distance of 2 nm, was executed at an angle of 70.6° to the runway, while the base leg turn was conducted at an angle of 88.3°. The final approach to runway 32 was initiated from the south-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 321.0° at an altitude of 67 ft above ground level.
The aircraft touched down before the threshold, with a touchdown speed of 55 kt, which was considered good. The touchdown rate of -278 fpm was fair, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 161 m, which accounted for 17% of the available runway, was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft taxied to the parking area in 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance of 8 nm was completed in 6 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 14 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 32 at EGHR Goodwood Aerodrome was conducted from the south east, aligning with the heading of 321.0° at 0 nm and 67 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a stable and controlled descent. The aircraft touched down before the threshold, indicating a slightly short landing. The touchdown speed of 55 kt was within the acceptable range, demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft's descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a fair touchdown rate of -278 fpm, which may have contributed to the slightly short landing. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft remained centered on the runway during the touchdown phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 269°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The rollout phase was executed smoothly, with the aircraft maintaining very good alignment with the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 161 m, which accounted for 17% of the runway, was within acceptable limits. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 96.7%. The pilot's performance demonstrated good control and management of the aircraft during the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
