The flight began with a departure roll from runway 35L at AYGA Goroka Airport, where the Kodiak 100 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 391 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 66 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed out of Goroka, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of the airport, rising from an altitude of 6,241 feet above sea level to 12,807 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,567 feet in just 5 minutes, while covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a brief enroute level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles, starting 10 miles southeast of AYDI Bundi Airport.
The enroute descent began 7 miles south of AYDI Bundi Airport and lasted for 3 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from an altitude of 13,010 feet above sea level to 9,270 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,740 feet, while covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 32 at AYLG Keglsugl Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 320 degrees at an altitude of 811 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 32 at AYLG Keglsugl Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 148 meters, which was good, and a touchdown speed of 54 knots, also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was perfect at 367 feet per minute. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 26.4 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 34.3 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 374 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 267 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a headwind of 1 knot. The total flight distance was 25 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 13 minutes, during which the aircraft used 30 kilograms of fuel.

The aircraft in question, a Kodiak 100, successfully landed at AYLG Keglsugl Airport, but with some notable deviations from ideal performance. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 320.0° at 2 nautical miles and 811 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 32, which has a length of 669 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 62 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 148 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 54 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of 367 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
Despite the good performance in terms of speed and distance, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 26.4 meters from the centerline. This suggests that the pilot may have had difficulty aligning the aircraft with the runway during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were mild, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 2 knots at 267°.
The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the headwind component was even weaker at 1 knot. These conditions would not have significantly impacted the aircraft's performance during the landing. The total landing distance of 374 meters was 56% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure.
However, the runway rollout alignment was also significantly misaligned by 34.3 meters from the centerline. This suggests that the pilot may have had difficulty maintaining control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, or that the aircraft's brakes may not have been functioning optimally. Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement in terms of alignment and control during the final approach and rollout phases.
