The flight in question was operated by a Pilatus PC-6 aircraft. The flight began with an enroute climb from 2,005 feet above sea level (asl) to the same altitude, resulting in no change in altitude. This climb phase lasted for 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile (nm).
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered an enroute level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and also covered less than 1 nm. This phase was conducted over Bacau, Romania.
The next significant phase of the flight was an enroute climb from 2,182 ft asl to 5,146 ft asl, an increase of 2,964 ft in 5 minutes, covering 10 nm. This climb phase was initiated 1 mile east of Bacau.
The aircraft then began an enroute descent from 5,154 ft asl to 4,659 ft asl, a decrease of 495 ft in 2 minutes, covering 3 nm. This descent phase was initiated 2 miles northwest of Secuieni, Romania.
The flight continued with an enroute climb from 4,651 ft asl to 5,585 ft asl, an increase of 935 ft in 2 minutes, covering 3 nm. This climb phase was initiated 1 mile south of Rosiori, Romania.
The aircraft then entered an enroute level cruise phase, which lasted for 7 minutes and covered 18 nm. This phase was conducted 2 miles northeast of Rosiori.
The next significant phase of the flight was an enroute descent from 5,424 ft asl to 2,001 ft asl, a decrease of 3,423 ft in 5 minutes, covering 14 nm. This descent phase was initiated 1 mile north of Mironeasa, Romania.
The aircraft then began an enroute climb from 1,999 ft asl to 2,513 ft asl, an increase of 514 ft in 2 minutes, covering 3 nm. This climb phase was initiated 1 mile northeast of Dobrovat, Romania.
The flight continued with an enroute level cruise phase, which lasted for 5 minutes and covered 10 nm. This phase was conducted 1 mile south of Schitu-Duca, Romania.
The final phase of the flight was a final approach to runway 32 at LRIA Iaşi Airport from the southeast, heading 328.0° at 2 nm and 612 ft above ground level (agl).
The aircraft landed on runway 32, which had a length of 2,398 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 46 kt was well below the target speed, requiring caution to avoid stalling.
The touchdown distance was good at 97 meters, and the touchdown speed of 43 kt was also good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -202 ft per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 1 kt at 269°. The crosswind and headwind were both 1 kt.
The total landing distance was 886 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centerline.
The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nm.
The total flight distance was 65 nm, and the flight duration was 29 minutes. The aircraft used 134 kg of fuel during the flight.

The Pilatus PC-6 aircraft successfully landed at LRIA Iaşi Airport, achieving a high score of 96.1%. The final approach to runway 32 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 328.0° at 2 nautical miles and 612 feet above ground level. The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed of 46 knots was well below the target, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the pilot was cautioned to avoid stalling, as the speed was low. The touchdown distance of 97 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 43 knots was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate of -202 feet per minute was fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained excellent control during the final stages of the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more straightforward.
The total landing distance of 886 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.8 meters from the centerline, indicating that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate and runway rollout alignment, the overall score of 96.1% reflects the high standard of flying achieved by the pilot.
