The flight was carried out on a Kodiak 100 aircraft, with the journey beginning at Watertown Regional Airport, KATY, where it took 7 minutes to taxi to the runway, covering 2 nautical miles. The departure roll from runway 17 at KATY initiated a takeoff, which reached a liftoff speed of 86 knots. The local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Watertown, reaching an altitude of 9,998 feet above sea level from an initial height of 2,773 feet. This increase in altitude was achieved in 9 minutes and over a distance of 24 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft entered a level cruise 1 mile northeast of the SD19 Andersen Farms Airport Badger, sustaining this speed for 13 minutes while covering an additional 27 nautical miles.
As the flight progressed, the enroute descent started 1 mile southeast of SD03 Calico Field Winfred, where the aircraft descended from 10,006 feet above sea level to 5,011 feet. This decrease in altitude was accomplished over a period of 7 minutes and a distance of 19 nautical miles. Another level cruise was initiated 2 miles west of Salem, lasting for 7 minutes and covering 15 nautical miles. A final descent began 11 miles east of Mitchell, where the aircraft dropped from 4,568 feet to 2,593 feet in just 4 minutes, traveling 9 nautical miles.
The final approach was made to runway 31 at KMHE Mitchell Municipal Airport from the southeast, at a heading of 314.0 degrees and 4 nautical miles in. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,287 feet above ground level at this point. Upon landing, the touchdown point was located 216 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 64 knots and a smooth touchdown rate of -109 feet per minute. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline, the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,388 meters, accounting for 68% of the runway.
The flight concluded with a taxiing to the parking from the runway taking 5 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. In total, the journey utilized 103 nautical miles and took 48 minutes to complete, with the aircraft consuming 136 kilograms of fuel.

The aircraft in question is a Kodiak 100, which successfully landed at Mitchell Municipal Airport (KMHE) on runway 31. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, flying at a heading of 314.0° and 1,287 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.
As the aircraft began its descent, it was clear that the threshold height was well above the target, requiring the pilots to descend further than intended. However, they managed to maintain a suitable airspeed, as indicated by a threshold speed that was also above the target at 79 knots. Despite these minor deviations, the touchdown was smooth, with a rate of -109 feet per minute.
The touchdown speed of 64 knots was slightly faster than desired, indicating that the pilots may have applied more reverse thrust than necessary. Nonetheless, the aircraft's touchdown point was 216 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but still within the confines of the runway. Moreover, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by a mere 3.1 meters from the centerline, demonstrating good control throughout the landing.
Local weather conditions at the time of the landing included a temperature of 16°C and light wind, blowing at 1 knot from the northwest (270° magnetic direction). As a result, the crosswind and wind effects on the aircraft were minimal, with a negligible impact on the landing.
In terms of the landing distance, the aircraft required a total of 1,388 meters to come to a complete stop, corresponding to 68% of the runway's length. Perhaps the most notable aspect of this landing was the excellent rollout alignment, which indicated that the pilots had effectively managed the aircraft's brakes and control surfaces to maintain a smooth and controlled deceleration.
Overall, the Kodiak 100's landing at KMHE Mitchell Municipal Airport was accomplished with a 85.1% score, demonstrating impressive control and precision from the pilots despite minor deviations from the target values.
