The flight took place from KHYA Cape Cod Gateway Airport, where the aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600, began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the designated runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 2 minutes.
As the plane prepared for takeoff, it started its departure roll on runway 15. The takeoff distance covered 32% of the runway, and the plane lifted off at a speed of 98 kt. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were pleasant, with a temperature of 71 °F and a gentle wind of 16 kt blowing from 189°. This resulted in a headwind of 10 kt and a crosswind of 12 kt.
After lift-off, the plane entered an enroute climb, ascending from 725 ft above sea level to 4,752 ft in just 5 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The climb was initiated overhead Hyannis, Massachusetts, marking the beginning of the aircraft's journey.
The enroute level cruise segment followed, with the plane maintaining a steady altitude for 7 minutes as it traveled 23 nautical miles. This phase started 2 miles northwest of Forestdale, Massachusetts, and provided the crew with an opportunity to assess the aircraft's performance and weather conditions.
As the plane approached the midpoint of its journey, it began its enroute descent, starting over Myricks Airport in Berkley, Massachusetts. The descent took the plane from an altitude of 4,482 ft to 529 ft in 8 minutes, covering a distance of 21 nautical miles.
Upon entering the final approach phase, the aircraft aimed for runway 23 at KSFZ North Central State Airport, approaching from the northeast. However, just before touchdown, the crew initiated a go-around, raising the plane to an altitude of 13 ft above ground level.
The landing segment followed shortly after, with the plane touching down on runway 23 at a speed of 71 kt. The touchdown distance was 932 ft, and the plane's speed was well below the target threshold speed of 98 kt. The touchdown rate was an impressive -83 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
Taxiing to the parking area from the runway took just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total fuel consumption for the flight was 84 lbs, and the total flight distance covered was 59 nautical miles, with a total flight time of 31 minutes.
