The flight departed from the vicinity of AA12 Dove Island Lodge Seaplane Base, situated 5 miles south east of Sitka, Alaska, United States. The aircraft, a Cessna Skyhawk, initiated its enroute climb from an initial altitude of 4,800 ft above sea level, rapidly ascending to 3,688 ft asl in a mere 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This aggressive climb phase allowed the aircraft to quickly gain altitude and establish a stable cruise altitude.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude of 3,420 ft asl for 3 minutes while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. Subsequently, the aircraft commenced its enroute descent, gradually losing altitude from 3,420 ft asl to 1,971 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered the final approach phase, aligning itself with runway 29 at Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport from the south east, maintaining a heading of 319.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,145 ft above ground level.
The aircraft successfully landed on runway 29, which measured 6,481 ft in length. Although the threshold height was significantly above the target, the threshold speed was only slightly above the target at 65 kt. The touchdown point was located 686 ft beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 39 kt and a hard touchdown rate of -474 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was excellent, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 59 °F, a wind speed of 2 kt from 280°, and a crosswind of 1 kt and a headwind of 1 kt. The total landing distance was 2,401 ft, accounting for 37% of the runway length. The aircraft consumed a total of -158 lbs of fuel during the 6-minute flight, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 29 at PASI Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport from the south east was initiated at 3 nm and 1,145 ft above ground level, heading 319.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 89 ft agl, significantly above the target. The threshold speed of 65 kt was slightly above the target, indicating a slight delay in the flare.
As the aircraft touched down 686 ft beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 39 kt was good, indicating a well-executed flare. However, the touchdown rate of -474 fpm was hard, suggesting a slight loss of control during the touchdown. Runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59 °F and a wind of 2 kt at 280°, contributed to a relatively calm landing environment, with a crosswind of 1 kt and a headwind of 1 kt.
The total landing distance of 2,401 ft was 37% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. Runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment throughout the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 85.5%. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate and threshold height, the pilot's overall performance was good, and the landing was completed safely.
