The entry was swift, with the aircraft covering less than 1 nautical mile in just 8 seconds.

The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was slightly longer, taking 22 seconds to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The pilot then proceeded to the downwind leg, which spanned 2 nautical miles and took 62 seconds to complete. The base leg turn was executed with precision, involving a turn of 45 degrees at an angle of 42.9°, and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.

The base leg itself was short, taking just 27 seconds to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The final turn was also brief, lasting 30 seconds and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 16, flying at a heading of 160.0° and an altitude of 233 feet above ground level (agl).

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 55 knots. The touchdown distance was good, covering 400 meters, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -34 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating a high degree of precision in the pilot's landing technique.

The total landing distance was 557 meters, which accounted for just 26% of the runway's total length.
