This flight was conducted in a Cessna 208B aircraft, taking off from Podeweltz Airport in Merrill, Wisconsin, United States. The enroute climb began with the aircraft lifting off from an initial altitude of 11,546 feet above sea level, and it successfully climbed to a final altitude of 2,046 feet above sea level, an impressive increase of 9,500 feet in just 3 minutes. This rapid ascent covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached the runway for landing, it was heading south at a bearing of 357.0 degrees, approximately 1 nautical mile away from the runway. At an altitude of 558 feet above ground level, the pilot began the final approach to runway 36 at Podeweltz Airport. The runway itself was 780 meters long, providing a suitable surface for landing.
Upon landing, the pilot noted that the threshold speed was well below the target, requiring caution to avoid stalling the aircraft. The touchdown point was located very far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available length. The touchdown speed of 43 knots was considered good, but the touchdown rate was somewhat hard, with a descent rate of -402 feet per minute. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.6 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 322 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 602 meters, which accounted for 77% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was found to be very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
In terms of fuel consumption, the flight used a total of 5 kilograms of fuel, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 4 minutes. Overall, the flight was conducted safely and efficiently, with the pilot demonstrating good control and navigation skills throughout the journey.

The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at WN44 Podeweltz Airport, with a score of 86.1%. The final approach was conducted from the south, heading 357.0° at 1 nautical mile and 558 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 36, which has a length of 780 meters.
The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 58 knots was well below the target, indicating that the pilot was cautious to avoid stalling the aircraft. However, the touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. This suggests that the pilot may have been a bit too aggressive with the landing, resulting in a longer than necessary rollout.
The touchdown speed of 43 knots was good, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touch down at a safe speed. However, the touchdown rate was hard, at -402 feet per minute (fpm), which may have put some stress on the aircraft's landing gear. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach.
The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C, wind at 6 knots from 322°, and a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 4 knots. These conditions were favorable for the landing, and the pilot was able to maintain good control of the aircraft.
The total landing distance was 602 meters, which is 77% of the available runway. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it was still within the safe limits of the aircraft. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout and bring it to a safe stop. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, such as reducing the touchdown point and touchdown rate.
