Flight Score
Departure
Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 67 kt, not after it.
What happened: You started the rotation at 88 kt, 21 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 bring threshold speed back to 70 kt.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 78 kt against a target of 70 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 70 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.
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.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.3° off, against a 1° limit and wings 14° of bank, against a 10° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,490 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 621 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Kodiak 100 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 92 kt in 1,504 meters, which was 60% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a negligible wind of 1 kt from 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated its agility by completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 20 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed efficiently, taking only 16 seconds to complete. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, maintaining a 45-degree angle to the runway and covering a distance of 1 nm. The downwind leg itself was 3 nm long and took 82 seconds to complete. Following the base leg turn, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, descending to 471 ft above ground level (agl) at a heading of 229.0°.
The Kodiak 100 touched down on the runway 183 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 56 kt and a descent rate of -63 fpm, indicating an excellent touchdown performance. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the aircraft's fuel consumption was 10 kg for the entire flight, which covered a total distance of 9 nm and took approximately 5 minutes to complete.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was conducted from the north east, aligning with the heading of 229.0° at 1 nautical mile and 471 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, reaching 78 knots.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was located 183 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 56 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -63 feet per minute was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a negligible wind of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 95.2%. The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach and touchdown phases, with a smooth and controlled rollout. The landing was completed successfully, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a safe distance from the runway threshold.
