Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

One stabilised approach gate: five 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.
At the 500 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 573 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 573 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 35 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Kodiak 100 taxied to runway 20 at AYGH Guhu Airstrip and commenced the take-off roll, covering 385 m which represented 67 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 64 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind from 270° at 3 kt, providing a 1 kt headwind component and a 3 kt cross-wind.
Climb began directly overhead the airfield, with the aircraft accelerating from 4,216 ft asl to 4,985 ft asl, an altitude gain of 769 ft. The climb was completed in 1 minute while traversing 2 nm.
Cruise was established one mile east of AYGH, persisting for 6 minutes and covering 13 nm at a steady altitude.
During the final approach to runway 20 the aircraft was aligned from the north-east on a heading of 204.0°, descending to 63 ft agl at the approach fix. The approach was conducted under the same weather as departure: 15 °C, wind 270° at 3 kt, with a 1 kt headwind and 3 kt cross-wind.
Touchdown occurred before the runway threshold at a speed of 49 kt and a vertical speed of 36 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 11.8 m from the centreline. The landing roll measured 142 m, representing 25 % of the runway length.
Rollout continued with a slight centreline deviation of 12.1 m as the aircraft decelerated and exited the runway.
In total the flight covered 15 nm, required 10 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 27 kg of fuel.
The Kodiak 100 executed the final approach to runway 20 at AYGH Guhu Airstrip from the north-east, maintaining a heading of 204.0° at 0 nm and 63 ft AGL. Local conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 270°, providing a 3 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt headwind.
Touchdown occurred before the threshold at a speed of 49 kt and a vertical rate of 36 fpm, which the data describes as good and perfect respectively. The touchdown point was laterally offset by 11.8 m from the runway centreline.
The aircraft rolled out over a distance of 142 m, representing 25 % of the runway length, and the rollout track was slightly off centreline by 12.1 m.
Improve lateral alignment on touchdown and maintain a more centered rollout path to reduce the 11-12 m deviations observed, which will help raise the overall score beyond the current 90.5 %.
