The flight began with a departure roll from runway 15 at the Madison Municipal Airport, with a Cessna 208B aircraft. The takeoff distance was 2,682 feet, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 100 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 89 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 24 knots from a direction of 179 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began to ascend from an altitude of 2,185 feet above sea level to 10,041 feet above sea level, a total increase of 7,856 feet over a period of 20 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 36 nautical miles. Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 208 minutes and covered a distance of 448 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent from 9,726 feet above sea level to 7,388 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,337 feet over a period of just 3 minutes. This descent phase covered a distance of 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 16 minutes and covered a distance of 15 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 08 at the La Junta Municipal Airport from the west. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,608 feet above ground level and was 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 101 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 22 knots from a direction of 216 degrees.
The aircraft landed on runway 08, which had a length of 6,808 feet. The touchdown point was 954 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 68 knots, which was slightly faster than the target speed. The touchdown rate was firm at -397 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 80 feet from the centreline.
The total landing distance was 3,664 feet, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 79 feet from the centreline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, which took 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 515 nautical miles and lasted for 275 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 794 pounds of fuel during the flight.

The Cessna 208B aircraft successfully landed at KLHX La Junta Municipal Airport, but with some notable deviations from ideal landing parameters. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 90.0° at 1 nm and 1,608 ft above ground level (agl), and the aircraft touched down on runway 08, which has a length of 6,808 ft.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was significantly above the target speed of 75 kt. This may indicate that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively, reducing the touchdown speed. However, the actual touchdown speed of 68 kt was a little fast, which could have resulted in a firmer touchdown rate.
The touchdown point was 954 ft beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively significant distance. The touchdown rate was firm at -397 fpm, which is within a normal range but may indicate that the pilot could have managed the descent more smoothly. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 80 ft from the centreline, which could have resulted in a longer rollout distance.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were hot, with a temperature of 101 °F, and windy, with a wind speed of 22 kt at 216°. The crosswind component was 18 kt, and the tailwind component was 13 kt. These conditions may have contributed to the misaligned touchdown and rollout.
The total landing distance was 3,664 ft, which is 54% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, which may be attributed to the misaligned touchdown and rollout. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 79 ft from the centreline, which further contributed to the long landing distance.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas for improvement, including managing the descent more smoothly, aligning the touchdown and rollout with the centreline, and reducing the touchdown speed.
