Departing Habina Airstrip in the Eastern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea, the Kodiak 100 aircraft rolled down runway 36, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 73 kt in a distance of 329 m, which accounted for 55% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off into a calm atmosphere, with a temperature of 17 °C and a wind speed of 0 kt from a direction of 146 °.
As the aircraft climbed away from Habina, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 6,184 ft above sea level to a cruising altitude of 10,175 ft, a vertical gain of 3,991 ft in just 3 minutes. This rapid ascent covered a horizontal distance of 6 nm, positioning the aircraft for a level cruise. The enroute level cruise phase lasted 11 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 35 nm, maintaining a steady altitude of 10,175 ft. Following this, the aircraft began its descent, reducing its altitude from 10,173 ft to 5,061 ft in a mere 3 minutes, while covering a distance of 8 nm. This descent phase set the stage for the final approach to Herowena Airstrip.
The final approach to runway 35 at Herowena Airstrip was initiated from a distance of 1 nm, with the aircraft flying at an altitude of 338 ft above ground level and heading 351.0 °. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 57 kt, with a touchdown distance of 97 m, which was well within the available runway length of 548 m. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -140 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 m from the centreline. The total landing distance was 234 m, accounting for 43% of the runway length. Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out in a very good alignment, bringing the flight to a safe conclusion. The total flight distance was 51 nm, and the aircraft used 54 kg of fuel during the 20-minute flight.

The final approach to runway 35 at AYHX Herowena Airstrip from the south, heading 351.0° at 1 nm and 338 ft agl, was executed with good approach quality. The aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent throughout the approach, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target, coming in at 58 kt.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 97 m, and the touchdown speed of 57 kt was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was smooth, with a rate of -140 fpm, indicating a controlled and stable touchdown. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 m from the centreline, the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17 °C and a wind of 0 kt at 146°, did not pose any significant challenges. The crosswind and headwind components were both zero, allowing for a straightforward landing.
The total landing distance of 234 m, which accounted for 43% of the runway length, was reasonable given the aircraft's performance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a stable and controlled path along the centreline. Overall, the landing was executed well, with a score of 94.6% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot.
