The flight began with an enroute climb from the Branch County Memorial Airport in Coldwater, Michigan, where the aircraft, a Kodiak 100, took off from an altitude of 961 feet above sea level. The climb was steep, reaching an altitude of 2,021 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. Following this initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, flying 1 mile southwest of the airport for 3 minutes and covering 3 nautical miles.
As the flight continued, the aircraft entered another enroute climb phase, this time starting 2 miles northeast of Bronson, Michigan. The climb was less steep than the initial one, reaching an altitude of 2,501 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, flying 2 miles northwest of Bronson for 3 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles.
The final approach to the Kirsch Municipal Airport was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 238.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,580 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on runway 24, which had a length of 1,098 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 71 knots.
However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 63 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -216 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.1 meters. The total landing distance was 560 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 10.8 meters.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 19 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 12 minutes. The aircraft used 27 kilograms of fuel during the flight. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 10 knots from 290 degrees, with a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.

The aircraft in question, a Kodiak 100, successfully landed at Kirsch Municipal Airport (KIRS) on runway 24. The final approach was initiated from the northeast, heading 238.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,580 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach, achieving a threshold height and speed that met the required standards.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the optimal threshold speed of 71 kt, registering at 63 kt. This resulted in a fair touchdown rate of -216 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 286 meters was within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control to bring the aircraft to a safe stop.
However, the pilot did experience some difficulties with runway alignment, both during the touchdown and rollout phases. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centerline, and the rollout alignment was also off by 10.8 meters. Despite these minor deviations, the pilot was able to maintain control and bring the aircraft to a safe stop within 51% of the runway length.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 22°C and a moderate wind of 10 kt at 290°. The crosswind component was 8 kt, while the headwind component was 6 kt. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the pilot's ability to land the aircraft safely.
Overall, the pilot's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with some minor areas for improvement. The aircraft's performance and handling characteristics were also demonstrated to be within acceptable limits, given the conditions.
