Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 6.9 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 7° of bank in the first climb segment and 5.2° still showing in the second.
Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.
Arrival
Add power on final to hold 70 kt across the threshold.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 54 kt, 16 kt below VREF, and low energy like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown at 146 fpm.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 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: 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 1.6° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 612 m of the approach.
Plan view — the full 612 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 17 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Kodiak 100 taxied from the parking area to runway 30 at AYFE Feramin Airport in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 30, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 67 kt and left the ground after traveling 359 m, which represented 59 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were 22 °C with a wind of 5 kt from 229°, including a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind.
The climb commenced overhead AYFE Feramin Airport, climbing from 4,964 ft asl to 7,165 ft asl - an altitude gain of 2,201 ft - in 2 minutes while covering 5 nm.
Descent began 4 miles southwest of AYTE Telefomin, descending from 7,173 ft asl to 5,199 ft asl, a loss of 1,974 ft, over 2 minutes and a distance of 5 nm.
On final approach to runway 12 at AYFE Feramin Airport, the aircraft descended from 799 ft agl to -23 ft agl in 76 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gate criteria.
Landing on runway 12 was executed with a touchdown speed of 53 kt, a touchdown distance of 17 m and a smooth vertical speed of minus 146 fpm. The runway length is 612 m; the total landing distance recorded was 465 m, representing 76 % of the runway. Weather at the time was 22 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 232°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt tail-wind.
The rollout was aligned precisely with the runway centreline, confirming the quality of the landing alignment.
In total, the flight covered 13 nm, required 10 minutes of elapsed time, and consumed 25 kg of fuel.
