The Pilatus PC-12 taxied from its parking position to runway 05R at NZAA Auckland International Airport in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 05R, the aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 109 kt and became airborne after a take-off run of 718 m, representing 22 % of the runway length. Ambient conditions were 18 °C with a wind from 020° at 16 kt, including a 12 kt cross-wind component and a 10 kt head-wind component.
The approach phase began with a right-hand pattern entry from runway 05R, a segment of less than 1 nm completed in 27 seconds, followed by a right-hand cross-wind leg of 1 nm in 28 seconds. The downwind turn covered 2 nm at an angle of 91.2° to the runway, after which the downwind leg extended 4 nm and lasted 129 seconds. The base-leg turn spanned 4 nm with a 40.2° angle to the runway, and the subsequent base leg measured 2 nm in 65 seconds. The final turn added another 2 nm in 67 seconds, positioning the aircraft for the final approach from the southwest on a heading of 66.0° at 2 nm and 739 ft AGL.
Landing was executed on runway 05R, whose total length is 3 284 m. The threshold speed was 84 kt, and touchdown occurred 89 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 79 kt. The aircraft’s vertical speed at touchdown was minus 148 fpm, and alignment with the runway centreline was recorded as perfect. Weather at the time of landing was 16 °C with a wind from 009° at 21 kt, comprising a 19 kt cross-wind and a 10 kt head-wind. The total landing distance measured 676 m, equivalent to 21 % of the runway.

The final approach to runway 05R at NZAA Auckland International Airport was flown from the south-west on a heading of 66.0° at 2 nm and 739 ft agl. The approach was assessed as stabilised at the 1,000 ft gate, with gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope and centreline all within limits.
During the threshold and flare segment the aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 84 kt. The aircraft crossed the runway threshold and the touchdown point was recorded 89 m beyond the touchdown zone.
Touchdown occurred at a speed of 79 kt, described as good, with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 148 fpm and runway touchdown alignment perfect.
Rollout was completed with runway rollout alignment very good, the aircraft traveling a total landing distance of 676 m, representing 21 % of the 3,284 m runway.
Minor refinement of the flare timing to place the main-gear touchdown within the designated touchdown zone would tighten the already strong performance, while maintaining the current speed and alignment practices that produced the 94.8 % score.
