Departing from the vicinity of Dinner Plain in the State of Victoria, Australia, the DA62 began its enroute climb, ascending from an initial altitude of 6,492 feet above sea level to 5,206 feet above sea level, a vertical gain of 1,286 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a horizontal distance of approximately 4 nautical miles, demonstrating the aircraft's efficient climb performance.
As the DA62 approached Mount Hotham Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 11 from the north-west, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 131.0 degrees at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 944 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on the runway, which measured 1,458 meters in length, with a threshold height that was satisfactory. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 75 knots. The touchdown point was located 54 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 68 knots was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -251 feet per minute was fair, but the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.2 meters.
The landing distance covered by the DA62 was 682 meters, accounting for 47% of the runway length. Following touchdown, the aircraft's rollout alignment was also found to be misaligned from the centreline by 18.3 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots from 203 degrees. The crosswind component was 13 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes, during which the aircraft consumed 1 kilogram of fuel.

The final approach to runway 11 at YHOT Mount Hotham Airport from the north west was conducted with a heading of 131.0° at 2 nautical miles and 944 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 75 knots, indicating a slight delay in the touchdown process.
The aircraft touched down 54 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 68 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate of -251 feet per minute was fair, indicating a moderate deceleration upon touchdown. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centreline, which may have contributed to the subsequent rollout alignment issues. Local weather conditions at the time of landing included a temperature of 15°C and a wind of 13 knots at 203°, resulting in a 13-knot crosswind and a 2-knot headwind.
The total landing distance of 682 meters was 47% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was misaligned by 18.3 meters from the centreline, which may have been a result of the initial touchdown position. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 87.5%.
