The flight began with a departure roll from runway 24 at Lukla Airport, a small airport located in the Province 1 of Nepal. The DHC-6 aircraft accelerated down the 544-meter runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 72 knots in a relatively short distance of 120 meters, which accounted for only 22% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 9,527 feet above sea level to a higher altitude of 9,688 feet, a gain of 160 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 1 nautical mile, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude in a short period. The climb was initiated overhead the airport, marking the beginning of the enroute phase of the flight.
The final approach to runway 06 at Lukla Airport was conducted from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at an angle of 51.0 degrees and descending from an altitude of 346 feet above ground level to a point 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The approach was characterized by a gentle descent, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading and altitude.
Upon reaching the runway threshold, the aircraft touched down on runway 06, with a touchdown speed of 66 knots and a touchdown distance of 55 meters, which was well within the acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was also perfect, at -19 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the aircraft maintained perfect runway rollout alignment after touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 273 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind. The total landing distance was 257 meters, which accounted for 47% of the runway length. The aircraft used a total of 11 kilograms of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a distance of 3 nautical miles and took approximately 4 minutes to complete.

The DHC-6 aircraft successfully landed at VNLK Lukla Airport, achieving a score of 99.1%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 51.0° at 2 nautical miles and 346 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 06.
The runway at VNLK Lukla Airport is 544 meters long, and the aircraft touched down with a good threshold height. The threshold speed was also satisfactory at 70 knots, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe and controlled approach. The touchdown distance of 55 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 66 knots was also good.
The landing rate was particularly impressive, with a perfect touchdown rate of -19 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilot maintained a smooth and controlled descent, minimizing the impact on the aircraft's landing gear. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 273°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both minimal, at 1 knot each, which further contributed to the smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance of 257 meters was 47% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot maintained a high degree of control and precision during the landing, minimizing the distance required to come to a stop. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled rollout after touchdown.
Overall, the DHC-6 aircraft's landing at VNLK Lukla Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed and controlled approach and landing. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the aircraft's performance, and the landing was a testament to the safety and reliability of the DHC-6 aircraft.
