Departing from Drachten Airfield in the Provincie Friesland, The Netherlands, the Sting S4 began its enroute climb phase overhead the nearby Drachten Airfield. The aircraft ascended from a low altitude of 17 feet above sea level to 982 feet, a vertical gain of 965 feet, within a short 2-minute period. This climb phase also saw the aircraft cover a distance of 2 nautical miles, setting the stage for the subsequent cruise phase.
As the Sting S4 transitioned into its enroute level cruise phase, it flew over the location of Rottevalle in the Provincie Friesland. This phase lasted for 3 minutes, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. Following the cruise phase, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 26 at Drachten Airfield, approaching from the east at a heading of 258.0 degrees and an altitude of 443 feet above ground level, approximately 1 nautical mile from the runway.
The Sting S4 landed safely on runway 26, which measures 722 meters in length. The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 44 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 119 meters, although the touchdown speed of 39 knots was slightly higher than desired. The aircraft's descent rate was impressive, with a rate of -52 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a light headwind, contributed to a smooth landing. The total landing distance was 226 meters, accounting for 31% of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The flight, which covered a total distance of 7 nautical miles, consumed 41 kilograms of fuel and lasted for 7 minutes.
