Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6.3 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
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.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set, sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.

Plan view — the full 548 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 121 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Herowena Airstrip (AYHX), the Kodiak 100 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 35, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 66 kt in a distance of 371 m, which accounted for 68% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 2 kt from a direction of 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it maintained a steady pace, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 80 seconds. The subsequent downwind turn, which covered a distance of 2 nm at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, was executed smoothly, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 176.0°. The final approach to runway 17 was initiated from a height of 649 ft agl, with the aircraft aligning itself for a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 70 kt. The touchdown distance of 119 m was satisfactory, although the touchdown speed of 64 kt was slightly above the optimal value.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down with a perfect touchdown rate of 86 fpm, but the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.5 m from the centreline. The total landing distance of 409 m, which accounted for 75% of the available runway length, was acceptable. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, by 10.1 m from the centreline. The total flight distance of 3 nm was completed in 4 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 8 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 17 at AYHX Herowena Airstrip from the north was conducted at a heading of 176.0°, 1 nm from the threshold and at an altitude of 649 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 70 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, touching down at a speed of 64 kt, although this was slightly faster than desired.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a perfect touchdown rate of 86 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.5 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a miscalculation of the touchdown point. The total landing distance of 409 m was 75% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The touchdown distance of 119 m was also within the acceptable range.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft remained slightly misaligned from the centreline by 10.1 m, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position. Despite this, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 87.6%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 269°, did not appear to have a significant impact on the landing.
