Flight Score
Departure
Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 67 kt, not after it.
What happened: You started the rotation at 84 kt, 17 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 79 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 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 2.4° off, against a 1° 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 785 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
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 86 kt in a distance of 681 meters, which accounted for 27% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a swift and efficient turn, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 23 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was equally impressive, with a distance of less than 1 nm covered in just 16 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind leg, where it maintained a steady heading of 232.0° at 1 nm and 285 ft above ground level. The final approach was characterized by a good threshold height, with the threshold speed exceeding the target value at 80 kt. The touchdown point was located 347 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 52 kt and an excellent touchdown rate of -92 fpm.
The aircraft's performance during the landing phase was notable, with a slightly misaligned runway touchdown position of 7.5 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance of 11 nm was completed in 7 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 15 kg. The aircraft's handling and control throughout the flight were consistent with its reputation for stability and maneuverability.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was initiated from the north east, heading 232.0° at 1 nm and 285 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height observed. However, the threshold speed was well above the target, reaching 80 kt, which may indicate a slight delay in the flare.
The touchdown characteristics were generally good, with a touchdown speed of 52 kt and an excellent touchdown rate of -92 fpm. The touchdown point was located 347 m beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-shooting of the target. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.5 m from the centreline, which could be attributed to a minor deviation in the approach path.
The aircraft's rollout was smooth, with the local weather conditions favouring a stable and controlled descent. The temperature was 15 °C, and the wind was minimal, with a speed of 1 kt at 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were negligible, at 1 kt each. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 88.7% achieved.
