The flight began with a departure roll from runway 17 at AZ28 Thunder Ridge Airpark. The aircraft, a PC-12, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 276 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 78 knots, marking the start of the takeoff phase.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it encountered local weather conditions of 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 199 degrees. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The aircraft continued to climb, eventually reaching an altitude of 29,234 feet above sea level, a significant increase of 26,802 feet from the initial altitude of 2,432 feet.
The enroute climb phase was completed in 12 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 513 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting overhead Penryn, California. The descent phase saw a decrease in altitude from 28,688 feet to 472 feet, a drop of 28,216 feet, also achieved in 12 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of 29 nautical miles during this phase.
Upon reaching the destination airport, CA73 Vanderford Ranch Company Airport, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 35. The approach was made from the south, with a heading of 5.0 degrees, and at an altitude of 408 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 93 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance was 53 meters, which was considered good.
However, the touchdown rate was very hard, at -535 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.2 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 10°C temperature and a wind speed of 10 knots from a direction of 340 degrees, with a crosswind component of 3 knots and a headwind component of 10 knots.
The aircraft's total landing distance was 204 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown. The total flight distance was 544 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 28 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 83 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The PC-12 aircraft successfully landed at CA73 Vanderford Ranch Company Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the south, heading 5.0° at 0 nm and 408 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 35, which has a length of 938 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed. The touchdown distance was good, at 53 meters, but the touchdown speed of 93 knots was too fast. This excessive speed resulted in a very hard touchdown rate of -535 feet per minute (fpm), which could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially caused a bumpy ride for the passengers.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.2 meters, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 10°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 340°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly faster-than-ideal touchdown speed.
The total landing distance was 204 meters, which is approximately 22% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop in a straight line.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there are some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of reducing the touchdown speed and improving the alignment during the final approach.
