Departing from Drachten Airfield in the Provincie Friesland, The Netherlands, the Sting S4 began its enroute climb phase, taking off from a low altitude of 29 feet above sea level. The aircraft rapidly ascended to 882 feet above sea level, a vertical gain of 853 feet, within a mere 2 minutes. This climb phase also saw the aircraft cover a horizontal distance of 2 nautical miles, setting the stage for the next phase of the flight.
As the aircraft leveled off, it entered the enroute level cruise phase, which began overhead Rottevalle in the Provincie Friesland, The Netherlands. During this 3-minute phase, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. This stable cruise phase allowed the pilot to prepare for the final approach to runway 26 at Drachten Airfield.
The final approach phase commenced as the aircraft descended from an altitude of 470 feet above ground level, heading towards the runway from the east at a bearing of 257.0 degrees. The aircraft touched down on the 722-meter-long runway 26, with a threshold height that was satisfactory. Although the threshold speed was slightly below the target of 45 knots, the touchdown distance of 117 meters and touchdown speed of 35 knots were both within acceptable limits. The aircraft's touchdown rate of -32 feet per minute was also perfect, and the runway touchdown alignment was spot on. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a light headwind of 1 knot, contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
