This flight was conducted in a Kodiak 100 aircraft, which began its enroute climb from an altitude of 5,288 feet above sea level (asl) over Goroka, located in the Eastern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea. The aircraft successfully climbed to an altitude of 7,002 feet asl, an increase of 1,713 feet in just 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 45 nautical miles.
Upon reaching its destination, the aircraft initiated its final approach to runway 01 at AYNH Nahu Airstrip, coming in from the south at a heading of 341.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was at an altitude of 29 feet above ground level (agl) and had traveled 0 nautical miles. The landing was executed smoothly, with the threshold speed being slightly below the target at 64 knots.
The touchdown distance was good, measuring 54 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 62 knots. The touchdown rate was good, with a rate of -174 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.3 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 186 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 281 meters, which accounted for 66% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The flight itself was relatively short, covering a distance of 45 nautical miles in 2 minutes, and the aircraft used a total of 70 kilograms of fuel during the journey.

The aircraft in question, a Kodiak 100, successfully landed at AYNH Nahu Airstrip, achieving an impressive score of 88.5%. The final approach to runway 01 was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 341.0° at an altitude of 29 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 54 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed of 62 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -174 feet per minute (fpm) was deemed good as well. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 64 knots.
One notable aspect of the landing was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 7.3 meters from the centerline. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 186°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 2 knots, which did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway and coming to a stop in a controlled manner. The slight misalignment of the touchdown position was the only notable issue, but it did not appear to have any significant impact on the safety of the landing.
