The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
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.

The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied to runway 26 at EGBP Cotswold Airport and commenced the departure roll. Takeoff was achieved after a ground run of 636 m, representing 36 % of the available runway, with liftoff occurring at 88 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, no cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.
Climb began approximately one mile west of EGBP Cotswold Airport Kemble in Gloucestershire, England. The aircraft ascended from 1,119 ft asl to 924 ft asl, a gain of 195 ft, in one minute while covering less than one nautical mile.
Level cruise was initiated about one mile north-west of Crudwell in Wiltshire, England. The cruise segment lasted three minutes and spanned four nautical miles.
Landing was executed on runway 08 at EGBP Cotswold Airport, whose length is 1,800 m. The threshold height was satisfactory and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 63 kt. Touchdown occurred 275 m down the runway at 56 kt with a smooth vertical rate of minus 108 fpm, and runway alignment at touchdown was perfect. Local weather at the time was 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, no cross-wind component and a 2 kt tail-wind component.
During rollout the aircraft maintained very good alignment, completing the landing roll in a total distance of 525 m, which is 29 % of the runway length.
In total the flight covered 6 nm, taking 5 and consumed 9 kg of fuel.
The Kodiak 100 approached runway 08 at EGBP Cotswold Airport in calm conditions with a temperature of 15 °C, a wind of 2 kt from 270°, no cross-wind component and a 2 kt tailwind, maintaining a threshold speed of 63 kt that was slightly below the target and a good threshold height.
During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft continued at the 63 kt speed, which remained marginally under the desired value, and the flare was performed at the appropriate height, setting up a stable transition to touchdown.
Touchdown occurred 275 m down the runway at a speed of 56 kt, both judged good, with a smooth vertical rate of minus 108 fpm and perfect runway alignment at the point of contact.
The rollout covered a total of 525 m, representing 29 % of the 1 800 m runway, and the alignment throughout the rollout was very good.
To tighten the already strong performance, the crew should aim to achieve the exact target threshold speed rather than the slightly low 63 kt, ensuring the approach remains fully within the published parameters and further reduces any marginal speed deviation.
