The flight began with the Pilatus PC-24 aircraft, registered as N971LY, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at McGhee Tyson Airport (KTYS). This process took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 23L, with a takeoff distance of 625 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 113 knots.
As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 21 knots at 220°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind was 21 knots. After departing from KTYS, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,983 feet above sea level to 7,872 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,889 feet, in just 4 minutes and covering a distance of 19 nautical miles.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 1 mile east of Knoxville Downtown Island Airport (KDKX). This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile west of Taylor (TN82). The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 7,885 feet above sea level to 3,150 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,735 feet, in 5 minutes and covering a distance of 21 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, New Tazewell Municipal Airport (3A2), it began its final approach to runway 07 from the southwest, heading at 61.0°. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,942 feet above ground level and 3 nautical miles from the runway. However, the threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 153 knots.
The aircraft landed on runway 07, which had a length of 1,579 meters. The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was a little fast at 134 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -134 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 217°, with a crosswind of 5 knots and a tailwind of 9 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,392 meters, which accounted for 88% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 53 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 17 minutes. The aircraft used 154 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Pilatus PC-24 aircraft, registered as N971LY, successfully landed at the New Tazewell Municipal Airport (3A2) on runway 07. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 61.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,942 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it was found that the threshold height at 68 feet agl was above the target, indicating a slightly higher-than-desired approach path. Furthermore, the threshold speed was excessively high at 153 knots, which may have contributed to a longer-than-ideal landing roll.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft used more than 50% of the available runway, resulting in a touchdown point that was farther down the runway than desired. The touchdown speed of 134 knots was also a little fast, which may have added to the overall length of the landing roll. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -134 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 217°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the tailwind component was 9 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the aircraft's performance during the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,392 meters, which accounted for 88% of the available runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, while there were some areas for improvement, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop within a reasonable distance.
