AW838 C208 20251107 AER001 044 - Gerard Cuomo - 11-07-2025 Loaded the patients and medical team just after 5am. Weather at Kipnuk was VFR, but Bethel was forecasting 1,500ft ceilings with snow and freezing rain. Departed without incident and climbed to 3,500ft. Started to see some broken clouds ahead at and below my level. So, I descended to 1,500ft and flew the remainder of the route at that altitude. At 20 miles out, we picked up the Bethel ATIS and cancelled flight following from Anchorage Center. Bethel tower cleared us to enter left downwind for 19R. Crosswind was going to be out of the west around 17kts. Picked up the airport visually and swung wide to the south to enter on the 45-deg to downwind at 1,100ft. Just in case, we had the ILS dialed in and identified should we need it. Entered the downwind and touched down on 19R without incident. Taxied to the ramp and offloaded to the waiting ambulances. Will go warm up and check in with ops now.
