The P-750 XSTOL aircraft took off from a location 88 miles southwest of MRNS Nosara Airport Nicoya in the Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica. The enroute climb began at an altitude of 196 feet above sea level and reached 771 feet above sea level in just one minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This rapid ascent was a testament to the aircraft's impressive climb capabilities.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude for six minutes while covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This period of steady flight allowed the pilot to assess the aircraft's performance and make any necessary adjustments.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent, starting 85 miles southwest of MRNS Nosara Airport Nicoya. The descent from 807 feet above sea level to 97 feet above sea level took just two minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This rapid descent was a critical phase of the flight, requiring precise control to ensure a safe and controlled landing.
The final approach to landing began at an altitude of 70 feet above ground level, with the aircraft flying a steady course for one nautical mile. As the aircraft descended further, it reached an altitude of 48 feet above ground level, from which it made a smooth touchdown. The touchdown speed was slightly higher than desired, at 75 knots, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -131 feet per minute.
The touchdown point was 207 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot may have been slightly off course during the final approach. However, the landing rollout was successful, with the aircraft coming to a stop at an altitude of 26 feet above sea level after covering a distance of 707 meters.
The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 10 minutes. The aircraft used 24 kilograms of fuel during the flight, indicating a relatively efficient performance.

The P-750 XSTOL aircraft successfully completed a landing at a remote location 88 miles southwest of MRNS Nosara Airport in Nicoya, Costa Rica. The aircraft began its final approach from a distance of 1 nautical mile, descending from an altitude of 70 feet above ground level (agl) to 1 nautical mile at 70 ft agl. This marked the beginning of the aircraft's descent towards touchdown.
As the aircraft approached the touchdown point, it descended from 48 ft agl to 0 ft agl in a mere 15 seconds, demonstrating a steep rate of descent. The touchdown speed of 75 knots was slightly above the ideal speed, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -131 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down without any significant impact or bounce.
The touchdown point was located 207 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may have been due to the aircraft's slightly high speed. However, the landing rollout was successful, with the aircraft maintaining an altitude of 26 feet above sea level (asl) and covering a distance of 707 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 28 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots at 104 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing rollout and the aircraft's ability to maintain control during the landing process. Overall, the P-750 XSTOL aircraft demonstrated its capabilities in executing a successful landing in challenging conditions.
