The crosswind component was 4 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The climb phase began overhead the Karimui Airport, where the aircraft lifted off from an altitude of 4,236 feet above sea level. The climb continued for 8 minutes, during which the aircraft gained an altitude of 11,309 feet, reaching a maximum altitude of 15,545 feet. This climb phase covered a distance of 18 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 5 miles southwest of the Bomai Airport. This phase lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 23 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 6 miles northeast of the Pangia Airport. The descent phase lasted for 7 minutes, during which the aircraft lost an altitude of 5,800 feet, reaching a maximum altitude of 9,748 feet. This descent phase covered a distance of 21 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 10 miles east of Mendi. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 5 miles east of Mendi. The descent phase lasted for 3 minutes, during which the aircraft lost an altitude of 2,900 feet, reaching a maximum altitude of 6,293 feet. This descent phase covered a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 17 at Mendi Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading 175 degrees at an altitude of 603 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold. The landing was made on runway 17, which had a length of 1,344 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 76 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 241 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 67 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -133 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 18 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 3 knots from a direction of 210 degrees, with a crosswind component of 2 knots and a headwind component of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 710 meters, which was 53% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.

The aircraft in question, a Kodiak 100, successfully landed at AYMN Mendi Airport, achieving a score of 94.9%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 175.0° at 1 nautical mile and 603 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 17, which has a length of 1,344 meters.
The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 76 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's approach configuration or the pilot's decision to prioritize a safe landing over a precise speed.
The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits, measuring 241 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 67 knots was slightly faster than desired, which may have resulted in a slightly longer rollout. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -133 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 3.9 meters. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path or a miscalculation of the runway alignment. Local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 18°C and a light wind of 3 knots at 210°.
The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 2 knots each. The total landing distance was 710 meters, which is 53% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating a good landing performance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft tracking the centerline smoothly.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score. However, there were some minor deviations from the desired performance, including a slightly fast touchdown speed and a slightly misaligned touchdown position. These issues can be addressed through further training and practice to improve the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance.
