The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a PC-12, then departed from runway 12 at ETHF Fritzlar Army Airfield in Germany. The takeoff distance was 484 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 96 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 180 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 15 knots and a headwind of 8 knots. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 723 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 29,697 feet above sea level, an increase of 28,973 feet, in just 6 minutes and covering a distance of 75 nautical miles.
The enroute climb started over ETHF Fritzlar Army Airfield and continued until the aircraft reached the desired altitude. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile east of EDFZ Mainz-Finthen Airfield in Germany and lasted for 11 minutes, covering a distance of 357 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, first from 29,802 feet above sea level to 27,583 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,219 feet, in 2 minutes and covering 18 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started again 2 miles northwest of Le Pont-de-Montvert in France and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, from 27,168 feet above sea level to 1,433 feet above sea level, a decrease of 25,735 feet, in 7 minutes and covering 68 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26 at LFMZ Lézignan-Corbières Airfield in France was made from the east, heading 259.0 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,212 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 26 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 226 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. However, the touchdown speed was slightly too fast at 101 knots, and the touchdown rate was hard at -482 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 276 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 13 knots.
The total landing distance was 500 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 535 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 34 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 386 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The aircraft in question, a PC-12, successfully landed at LFMZ Lézignan-Corbières Airfield, but with some notable areas for improvement. The final approach was conducted from the east, heading 259.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,212 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot successfully touched down on runway 26, which has a length of 1,003 meters.
However, there were some issues with the landing. The threshold speed was excessively high at 107 knots, which is above the recommended speed for a safe landing. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 101 knots was also too fast, and the touchdown rate was hard at -482 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilot may have been applying too much braking or reverse thrust, which can be hazardous to the aircraft and its occupants.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or a miscalculation of the aircraft's position. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 14 knots at 276°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots.
The total landing distance was 500 meters, which is 50% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a continued deviation in the pilot's control of the aircraft after touchdown.
Overall, while the pilot was able to successfully land the aircraft, there are some areas for improvement in terms of speed management, touchdown rate, and alignment during the rollout phase. With some additional training and practice, the pilot should be able to refine their skills and achieve a more consistent and safe landing performance.
