The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at Queenstown International Airport, with the DA62 aircraft taking off in a relatively short distance of 1,486 feet, which is 26% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 83 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 64 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle headwind of 6 knots from a direction of 79 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile east of the airport, rising from an altitude of 2,034 feet above sea level to 3,017 feet, an increase of 983 feet in just 1 minute. This climb phase covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. This phase was initiated 2 miles northeast of the airport.
The final approach to runway 05 was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading 53.0 degrees at an altitude of 913 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was made on the 5,812-foot runway, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 64 knots, which was well below the target speed to avoid stalling.
The touchdown distance was good at 371 feet, and the touchdown speed was 62 knots, which was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, at -516 feet per minute, indicating a relatively steep descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a precise and controlled landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 63 degrees Fahrenheit and a headwind of 4 knots from a direction of 80 degrees.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 10 nautical miles and lasted for 7 minutes, using 7 pounds of fuel.

The DA62 aircraft successfully landed at Queenstown International Airport (NZQN) with a score of 89.8%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 53.0° at 2 nautical miles and 913 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft was able to land safely on runway 05, which has a length of 5,812 feet.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 64 knots was well below the target speed, which is a good sign as it suggests that the pilot was able to maintain control and avoid stalling the aircraft. However, the pilot was advised to take care not to stall, which implies that the speed was still relatively low.
The touchdown distance of 371 feet was reported as good, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touch down at a safe distance from the end of the runway. The touchdown speed of 62 knots was also reported as good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain a stable approach and touch down at a safe speed.
However, the touchdown rate of -516 feet per minute (fpm) was reported as very hard, which is a concern. A hard touchdown can put excessive stress on the aircraft's landing gear and can also increase the risk of injury to the occupants. It is not clear from the report whether this was due to a mistake by the pilot or a factor outside of their control.
The runway touchdown alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the pilot was able to align the aircraft with the runway and touch down at the correct point. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were reported as follows: temperature 63°F, wind 4 knots at 80°, crosswind 0 knots, and headwind 4 knots. These conditions were relatively calm and would not have presented a significant challenge to the pilot.
