The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Beechcraft King Air 350, then departed from runway 09 at the Ralph Wien Memorial Airport (PAOT) in Alaska, United States. The takeoff distance was 598 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 120 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started 1 mile east of Kotzebue and reached an altitude of 11,730 feet above sea level, increasing by 10,864 feet in 14 minutes and covering 46 nautical miles. The enroute climb was followed by a level cruise that started 11 miles southeast of the Curtis Memorial Noorvik Airport (D76) and lasted 45 minutes, covering 118 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent 6 miles southwest of the Hog River Airport (2AK6) and descended from 11,771 feet to 3,248 feet above sea level, a decrease of 8,524 feet in 9 minutes and covering 28 nautical miles.

The Beechcraft King Air 350 aircraft successfully landed at PAHU Hughes Airport, but the landing was not without its challenges. The final approach to runway 36 from the south was initiated at a heading of 13.0° and an altitude of 684 feet above ground level (agl), approximately 1 nautical mile from the runway. The aircraft touched down on the runway, but the touchdown point was significantly long, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway length.
The landing performance was affected by the threshold height, which was significantly above the target height at 80 feet agl. This may have contributed to the long touchdown point, as the aircraft may have been higher than expected when it reached the runway threshold. Additionally, the threshold speed was excessively high at 137 knots, which is faster than the typical threshold speed for a King Air 350. This high speed may have also contributed to the long touchdown point.
The touchdown speed of 112 knots was also faster than the typical touchdown speed for a King Air 350, which can be a concern for safety. However, the touchdown rate of -260 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down relatively quickly after touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is a positive aspect of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were cold, with a temperature of -15°C, and a moderate wind of 8 knots from 91°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the headwind component was 2 knots. These conditions may have affected the aircraft's performance and handling during the landing.
The total landing distance of 1,039 meters was 80% of the available runway length, which is a relatively long distance. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.6 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the aircraft's high speed and long touchdown point.
Overall, while the Beechcraft King Air 350 aircraft successfully landed at PAHU Hughes Airport, the landing performance was affected by several factors, including the high threshold speed, long touchdown point, and fast touchdown speed. These factors may have contributed to the slightly misaligned runway rollout and the long total landing distance.
