Departing from Western Helicopter Services Airport, the PC-12 aircraft initiated its departure roll on runway 26, covering a distance of 405 meters, which accounted for 67% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 82 knots, and with a local temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a gentle tailwind of 2 knots, the conditions were favorable for takeoff.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb, which began approximately 1 mile west of the departure airport. The climb phase was characterized by a significant increase in altitude, from 1,187 feet above sea level to 25,010 feet, a rise of 23,823 feet in just 10 minutes. This impressive climb rate allowed the aircraft to reach cruising altitude quickly, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles. Following a 107-minute level cruise, which spanned 462 nautical miles, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting 6 miles west of Churchill, Montana. The descent phase was marked by a decrease in altitude from 24,408 feet to 5,781 feet, a drop of 18,627 feet in 15 minutes, covering a distance of 58 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 06 at Big Timber Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 74.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,295 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed well above the target, at 95 knots, and a touchdown speed of 78 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown point was 252 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was fair at -255 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating 4.3 meters from the centerline. Following a total landing distance of 1,091 meters, which accounted for 68% of the available runway length, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in under 1 minute. The total flight distance was 552 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 448 kilograms of fuel during the 138-minute flight.

The final approach to runway 06 at 6S0 Big Timber from the west was initiated at 4 nm and 1,295 ft above ground level, heading 74.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was well above the target at 95 kt, indicating a potential for a longer landing roll. The aircraft touched down 252 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 78 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -255 fpm was fair, suggesting a slight impact on the aircraft's deceleration.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 m from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the desired path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9 °C and wind at 10 kt from 300°, resulted in a crosswind of 7 kt and a tailwind of 7 kt. The total landing distance of 1,091 m was 68% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline.
