Departing from Herowena Airstrip (AYHX), the Kodiak 100 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 35, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 68 kt in a distance of 390 m, which accounted for 71% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 2 kt from a direction of 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand traffic pattern, it maintained a steady pace, completing the downwind turn in a distance of 1 nm and the downwind leg in 45 seconds, covering a distance of 2 nm. The base leg turn was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining an angle of 43.5° to the runway. The final approach was initiated from a heading of 349.0°, with the aircraft descending to an altitude of 123 ft above ground level (agl) at a distance of 0 nm from the runway threshold. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 63 kt, slightly below the target value, and a touchdown distance of 17 m, which was considered good.

The aircraft landed on runway 35, with a total landing distance of 225 m, accounting for 41% of the available runway length. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating by 5.3 m from the centreline. However, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a well-executed landing. The total flight distance was 5 nm, covering a distance of 4 nm in a duration of 4 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 10 kg.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down smoothly on runway 35 at AYHX Herowena Airstrip, with a threshold height that met expectations. The threshold speed of 63 kt was slightly below the target, but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 17 m was good, and the touchdown speed of 63 kt was also well within the desired range. The touchdown rate of -180 fpm was satisfactory, indicating a controlled descent.

The aircraft's alignment with the runway centreline was slightly off at touchdown, with a deviation of 5.3 m. However, the rollout phase was executed perfectly, with the aircraft remaining aligned with the centreline throughout. The total landing distance of 225 m was 41% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light headwind of 2 kt, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.

Overall, the landing was considered good, with a score of 96.7%. The approach quality was satisfactory, and the pilot's control and decision-making during the landing phase were sound. The slight deviation from the centreline at touchdown was the only notable issue, but it did not have a significant impact on the overall performance of the landing.
