The flight began with a departure roll from runway 21 at KSEZ Sedona Airport, a Cessna C172 aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance was 468 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 60 knots, a relatively smooth and controlled departure.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 6 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 1 knot from a direction of 209 degrees. The climb started approximately 1 mile southwest of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from an initial altitude of 5,356 feet above sea level to 5,160 feet, a gain of 196 feet over a period of 3 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 was initiated from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 241.0 degrees at an altitude of 418 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 1,562 meters.
However, the landing was not entirely smooth, with the threshold speed being too high at 76 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 107 meters, but the touchdown speed was slightly too fast at 74 knots. The touchdown rate was also heavy, at -641 feet per minute. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 723 meters, accounting for 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned, by 8.3 meters from the centerline. Despite some minor issues, the flight was able to complete its journey, covering a total distance of 4 nautical miles and using 3 kilograms of fuel over a period of 5 minutes.

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at KSEZ Sedona Airport, but there were some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 241.0° at 1 nm and 418 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 21, which has a length of 1,562 meters.
The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was too high at 76 kt. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the touchdown speed. The touchdown distance was good at 107 meters, but the touchdown speed was too fast at 74 kt. This could have been due to the pilot not fully utilizing the aircraft's descent capabilities.
The touchdown rate was heavy at -641 fpm, which suggests that the pilot may have been too aggressive with the descent. This could have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially caused a bumpy ride for the passengers. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.0 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the approach.
The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 1 kt at 209°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was minimal at 1 kt. These conditions would have made the landing relatively straightforward.
The total landing distance was 723 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, but it could have been improved with a more precise approach and touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the rollout.
Overall, the landing was satisfactory, but there were some areas for improvement. With more practice and attention to detail, the pilot could have achieved a more precise and controlled landing.
