The aircraft rapidly ascended from an initial altitude of 432 feet above sea level to 1,410 feet, achieving a vertical gain of 978 feet in just one minute while covering a horizontal distance of two nautical miles. This impressive climb rate allowed the aircraft to quickly reach its enroute level cruise altitude.

Following a brief two-minute cruise phase, the aircraft began its enroute descent phase, this time from an altitude of 1,368 feet above sea level to 752 feet, a decrease of 616 feet in two minutes. The descent was executed over a distance of two nautical miles, bringing the aircraft to a suitable altitude for its final approach. The aircraft then initiated its final approach to runway 26 at Cotswold Airport, aligning itself with the runway from the east at a heading of 253.0 degrees and an altitude of 331 feet above ground level, approximately one nautical mile from the threshold.

The aircraft landed smoothly on runway 26, which measured 1,618 meters in length. The touchdown speed of 41 knots was well within the target range, and the aircraft maintained a perfect runway touchdown alignment. The touchdown distance of 161 meters was also satisfactory, and the aircraft's descent rate of -57 feet per minute was excellent. Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out in perfect alignment, utilizing only 20% of the available runway length. The total landing distance was 316 meters, and the aircraft consumed zero kilograms of fuel during the flight, which covered a total distance of six nautical miles and lasted six minutes.
