Departing from a location near Concord, New York, the L-39 Albatros initiated its enroute climb, rapidly ascending from an initial altitude of 1,574 feet above sea level to 3,588 feet above sea level in just 3 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 11 nautical miles, demonstrating the aircraft's impressive rate of ascent. Following the climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, maintaining a steady altitude for 2 minutes as it traversed 6 nautical miles northwest of Bloomfield, New York.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting overhead Elizabeth, New Jersey. The descent phase was notable for its steepness, with the aircraft dropping from 3,619 feet above sea level to just 103 feet above sea level in a mere 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. This rapid descent set the stage for the final approach to runway 22L at Newark Liberty International Airport. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, aligning itself with the heading of 205.0 degrees at an altitude of 93 feet above ground level.
The landing itself was notable for several factors. The aircraft touched down 1,397 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 101 knots and a touchdown rate of -255 feet per minute. However, the threshold height was well above target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 145 knots. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 39 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 38 feet from the centreline. Despite these minor issues, the total landing distance of 3,600 feet was within 51% of the available runway length. The flight itself was relatively short, covering a total distance of 24 nautical miles and consuming no fuel.

The final approach to runway 22L at KEWR Newark Liberty International Airport from the north was initiated at 0 nm and 93 ft above ground level, heading 205.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 71 ft above ground level, well above the target. However, the threshold speed of 145 kt was excessively high, indicating a potential for a long rollout.
The aircraft touched down 1,397 ft beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 101 kt, which was good. The touchdown rate of -255 fpm was fair, indicating a moderate deceleration. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 39 ft from the centreline, which could have contributed to the subsequent rollout alignment issues. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 66 °F and a wind of 4 kt at 347°, were relatively calm, with a minimal crosswind and tailwind component.
The total landing distance of 3,600 ft was 51% of the runway length, indicating a moderate rollout. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 38 ft from the centreline, which was consistent with the touchdown position misalignment. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 77.9%. However, there were opportunities for improvement, particularly in terms of threshold speed and touchdown position alignment.
