The flight began with a departure roll from runway 36 at SD01 MJ Aviation I Airport. The aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 76 kt, covering a distance of 579 m, which was 55% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt from a direction of 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
Following takeoff, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile north of the airport and ascending from 1,661 ft above sea level (asl) to 2,856 ft asl, an increase of 1,194 ft in just 3 minutes, while covering a distance of 3 nm. The climb was followed by a brief level cruise, lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nm, before the aircraft began another climb, this time from 2,615 ft asl to 3,204 ft asl, an increase of 589 ft in 2 minutes, while covering another 3 nm.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent, starting 2 miles southeast of the airport and descending from 3,163 ft asl to 1,392 ft asl, a decrease of 1,771 ft in 2 minutes, while covering 3 nm. The final approach to landing was made from 1 nm to 1 nm at an altitude of 90 ft above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down 2 miles north of KMHE Mitchell Municipal Airport, but at a speed of 79 kt, which was too fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -340 fpm, and the touchdown point was excessively long, using more than 75% of the available runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 16 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt from a direction of 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
Following touchdown, the aircraft began its landing rollout, covering a distance of 416 m and reaching an altitude of 1,302 ft asl. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nm. The total flight distance was 13 nm, and the flight duration was 10 minutes, during which the aircraft used 5 kg of fuel.

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche aircraft successfully landed 2 miles north of KMHE Mitchell Municipal Airport in Mitchell, South Dakota, United States. The final approach was initiated from a distance of 1 nautical mile, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 90 feet above ground level (agl) to 0 ft agl. This descent was completed in a short period of 10 seconds, resulting in a significant decrease of 49 ft agl.
However, the touchdown speed of 79 knots was found to be too fast, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to fully control the aircraft's descent and speed during the final approach. The touchdown rate of -340 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft touched down with a significant amount of force. Furthermore, the touchdown point was excessively long, utilizing more than 75% of the available runway. This could be a concern for the pilot, as it may indicate a loss of control or an inability to stop the aircraft within the remaining runway length.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 16 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt at 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 kt, indicating that the wind was not a significant factor in the landing. The aircraft's altitude after landing was 1,302 ft above sea level (asl), and the landing rollout distance was 416 meters. Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and control.
