I think I have at least 300 landings in the Kodiak, did 7 in Barth and 5 on Saba 12 today. I always find myself in roughly the same configuration. I can tell you crossing the road if I’m going to make the taxiway or over shoot it by 20’, like a robot.
I approach at 2nd flaps/ 72-74KT IAS @<60% payload/ 15-17% positive trim and about 1/3 power with the prop about 20% off of full rpm(I will have to check RPM). It is a good stable final approach with crosswinds/strong winds/or nothing(you’re still flying there) and is happy locked into that. You can dump to full flaps and cut throttle based on the type of field very quickly from there. Usual winds up to ~12-15KT.
For Barth you ride the hill and try flare directly to the runway, cross the top of the hill at 65kt and nail the flare for good contact (with friendly wind) you will make the taxiway, if you have to settle into ground effect or sort out crosswind adjustments you will roll past it by 20-100’(if you follow the exact real world path down the hill), for bush flying you hold the flare to settle on the mains as per normal, for 12 Saba you go full flap can carry a wee bit of power to basically fly onto the runway at 60-62KT with enough room to stop(same on any of the aircraft carriers). It won’t quite match real world twotter landings or even the PC12 which seems to slow faster than this aircraft is capable of. It’s STOL, but it’s not a Shock Ultra. At half payload seems to need about the same amount room as a ~3/4 loaded Islander(which doesn’t have reverse thrust). You won’t make the taxiway on 10 at max gross weight either.
