Departure from Goroka Airport (AYGA) in the Eastern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea began with a smooth takeoff roll on runway 17L. The Kodiak 100 aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 71 kt, clearing the ground in a distance of 448 m, which accounted for 36% of the available runway length. As the aircraft lifted off, it began its initial climb, gradually increasing its altitude from 6,053 ft above sea level to 10,136 ft, a gain of 4,083 ft in just 4 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 4 nm, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nm. This phase was conducted at a steady altitude of 10,136 ft, allowing the crew to assess the aircraft's performance and make any necessary adjustments. As the aircraft approached its destination, Nambaiyufa Airport (AYNY), it began its descent, gradually losing altitude from 10,117 ft to 5,526 ft in just 3 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 7 nm, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading.
The final approach to runway 30 at AYNY Nambaiyufa Airport was conducted from the southeast, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 308.0°. Touchdown occurred before the threshold, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 55 kt and a rate of 196 fpm. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, with the aircraft deviating 9.8 m from the centreline. The total landing distance was 89 m, accounting for 25% of the available runway length. Following touchdown, the aircraft underwent a rollout, which was slightly misaligned, with the aircraft deviating 10.3 m from the centreline. The total flight distance was 28 nm, with the aircraft consuming 26 kg of fuel over the course of the 13-minute flight.

The final approach to runway 30 at AYNY Nambaiyufa Airport from the south east was executed with a heading of 308.0° at 0 nm and -4 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a smooth descent and a stable airspeed. The aircraft touched down before the threshold, indicating a slightly aggressive approach, but the touchdown speed of 55 kt was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of 196 fpm was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and precision.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's centreline alignment was slightly off, deviating by 9.8 meters from the centreline. This deviation was not severe, but it did require some corrective action during the rollout phase. The total landing distance of 89 meters was 25% of the runway length, which is a respectable figure considering the conditions. The local weather was calm, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 246°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component of 2 kt and a slight headwind of 1 kt.
During the rollout phase, the aircraft's alignment was again slightly off, deviating by 10.3 meters from the centreline. Despite this, the overall performance was impressive, with a high score of 90.6%. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled descent, touchdown, and rollout. However, there is room for improvement in terms of centreline alignment, particularly during the rollout phase.
