Departure
Arrival
This flight was conducted in a Kodiak 100 aircraft, taking off from a location 1 mile south of the Nahu Airstrip in Madang Province, Papua New Guinea. The initial climb phase began at an altitude of 7,562 feet above sea level and gradually increased to 7,262 feet, a rise of 301 feet over a period of 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
Following the climb phase, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, maintaining its altitude and flying overhead the Nahu Airstrip. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The final approach to runway 01 at the Nahu Airstrip was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 342.0 degrees at an altitude of 29 feet above ground level and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target speed of 64 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown distance was measured at 55 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 62 knots, and the touchdown rate was good at -172 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.3 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 187 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 2 knots.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 280 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was deemed very good. The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. The aircraft consumed 25 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The aircraft in question, a Kodiak 100, successfully landed at AYNH Nahu Airstrip, achieving an impressive score of 88.5%. The final approach to runway 01 was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 342.0° at an altitude of 29 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 62 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 64 knots. However, this did not affect the overall performance of the landing, as the touchdown distance of 55 meters was deemed good. The touchdown rate of -172 feet per minute (fpm) was also within acceptable limits.
One minor issue was noted during the landing, as the aircraft touched down slightly off-centerline, deviating by 7.3 meters from the runway's centerline. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was described as very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 187°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both minimal, at 2 knots each, which likely contributed to the smooth landing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases. The minor deviation from the centerline was the only notable issue, but it did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.
