The flight began with the King Air C90 GTX taking off from runway 21 at the Santa Monica Municipal Airport (KSMO). The aircraft rolled down the runway, covering a distance of 2,571 feet, which was 52% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 119 knots, and the aircraft lifted off the ground smoothly.
As the aircraft climbed out of the airport, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 62°F and a wind speed of 7 knots at 149 degrees. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 773 feet above sea level to 2,296 feet, an increase of 1,523 feet, in just 2 minutes while covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
Once the aircraft reached its cruising altitude, it leveled off and began a 3-minute cruise, covering another 5 nautical miles. The cruise phase started 2 miles northwest of Santa Monica, California. After completing the cruise, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 21 at KSMO, heading in a northeasterly direction at an altitude of 974 feet above ground level.
The landing was executed from the north east, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 98 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown point was 697 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 8 knots at 153 degrees, with a crosswind component of 8 knots and a headwind component of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 2,815 feet, which was 57% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 13 nautical miles, and the flight lasted for 7 minutes, during which the aircraft used 2 pounds less fuel than expected.

The King Air C90 GTX aircraft successfully landed at KSMO Santa Monica Municipal Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in its pilots. The final approach to runway 21 was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 235.0° at 1 nautical mile and 974 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with precision, as evident from the perfect runway touchdown alignment.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 697 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal spot. However, the touchdown speed of 98 knots was a bit faster than the target speed, indicating that the pilots may have been able to make adjustments to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -260 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was not excessively steep.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 8 knots at 153°. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 3 knots, which the pilots effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 2,815 feet was 57% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within the available runway.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilots' ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, this landing was a testament to the skill and experience of the pilots, as well as the capabilities of the King Air C90 GTX aircraft.
