MY FS FLIGHTS
Flight Score
Departure
Lower the nose and add power to raise climb speed to 107 kt.
What happened: Climb speed was 93 kt against a target of 107 kt, running 14 kt slow through the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against the climb target of 107 kt.
Arrival
Add power on short final to hold 69 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 66 kt against a target of 69 kt, below reference speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 69 kt down to the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

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 500 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 500 ft gate: centreline 6.5° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 477 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 477 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 5 m short of the threshold. The 1.72 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
The Kodiak 100 taxied from the parking area to runway 04 at AYRM Maramuni Airport in 1 minutes, covering less than 1 nm during the taxi-out.
During the departure roll on runway 04, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 67 kt and left the ground after traveling 269 m, which represented 56 % of the runway length; ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 271°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt tailwind.
The en-route climb commenced overhead AYRM, climbing from 5,329 ft asl to 6,021 ft asl, an altitude gain of 692 ft achieved in 1 minutes while covering 1 nm.
Level cruise began approximately 1 mile north-east of AYRM and was maintained for 3 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 7 nm.
The final approach to runway 22 was executed from the north-east on a heading of 228.0°, intercepting the approach at 2 nm and 381 ft agl.
A go-around was initiated on runway 22 at 206 ft agl, causing the aircraft to abort the initial landing attempt and climb back to a safe altitude.
Subsequent touchdown occurred before the runway threshold at a speed of 62 kt, with a smooth vertical speed of minus 111 fpm; the landing distance measured 258 m, representing 54 % of the runway, and alignment was reported as very good under the same weather conditions of 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 271°, 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind.
Rollout proceeded with the aircraft remaining well aligned on the runway, completing the landing roll without deviation.
In total, the flight covered 22 nm, lasted taking 10 minutes, and consumed 29 kg of fuel.
The Kodiak 100 entered the final approach to runway 22 at AYRM Maramuni Airport from the north-east on a heading of 228.0° at 2 nm and 381 ft agl, with temperature 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 271°, a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind; the approach was assessed as unstable at the 1 000 ft gate, being off the centreline.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft touched down before the threshold, achieving a touchdown speed of 62 kt that was described as good, a smooth descent rate of minus 111 fpm, and runway touchdown alignment that was very good.
At touchdown the aircraft maintained very good alignment with the runway centreline, confirming the earlier assessment of alignment quality, and the speed and rate remained within the good parameters noted in the flare.
The rollout proceeded with very good alignment, and the total landing distance recorded was 258 m, representing 54 % of the runway length.
Maintain precise centreline tracking on final and adjust the aim point to the standard 300 m (1 000 ft) in to avoid early touchdown; these refinements will help preserve the high score while ensuring consistent performance.
