The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 11 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 324 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Gisborne Airport and ascending from 487 feet above sea level to 7,880 feet, an increase of 7,393 feet in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 33 minutes and covered a distance of 132 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 12 miles north of Nuhaka. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 8,254 feet to 9,903 feet, an increase of 1,648 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. This climb started 12 miles north of Alfredton Airport.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 7 minutes and covered a distance of 29 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 10 miles west of Alfredton Airport. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 9 miles northeast of Upper Hutt and descending from 9,616 feet to 1,550 feet, a decrease of 8,066 feet in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 7 miles south of Wellington International Airport. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 34 at Wellington International Airport, heading 3.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 1,476 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 34 was characterized by a touchdown point 70 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 82 knots, which was a little fast. The touchdown rate was excellent at -78 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 25 knots at 20 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind of 24 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,082 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good.

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, a PC-12, successfully landed at Wellington International Airport (NZWN) on runway 34. The final approach was initiated from the south, with a heading of 3.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,476 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated a high level of proficiency, achieving a score of 95.1%.

Upon landing, the pilot encountered a few minor issues. The threshold speed was slightly higher than ideal, reaching 100 knots. Additionally, the touchdown point was located 70 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 82 knots was a tad faster than recommended. However, the touchdown rate was excellent, with a descent rate of -78 feet per minute (fpm).

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a moderate headwind of 24 knots. The wind direction was from 20°, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a headwind component of 24 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot maintained good control of the aircraft.

The total landing distance was 1,082 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to bring it to a stop efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and proficiency. However, there were a few minor issues that could be addressed to further improve the landing performance.
