Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Sting S4 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 05, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 47 kt in a distance of 732 meters, which accounted for 29% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from a direction of 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of agility, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 17 seconds. The subsequent downwind turn, which covered a distance of 3 nm at an angle of 98.5° to the runway, showcased the aircraft's responsiveness to control inputs. The final approach to runway 23, which was initiated from a heading of 231.0° at an altitude of 231 ft above ground level, was characterized by a smooth and controlled descent.

The landing itself was notable for its precision, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 35 kt and a touchdown distance of 321 meters, which accounted for 16% of the available runway length. The touchdown rate of -29 fpm was also within optimal limits, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft rolled out to a stop, using a total of 394 meters of runway. The flight, which covered a total distance of 11 nm, consumed a total of -69 kg of fuel and lasted for approximately 8 minutes.
