Departure
Arrival
This flight was conducted in a Cessna 152 aircraft, taking off from the Sedona Airport in Arizona, United States. The enroute climb began 1 mile south of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from an initial altitude of 6,000 feet above sea level to a final altitude of 5,313 feet above sea level, representing an increase of 687 feet in just 3 minutes while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the runway, it was heading in a northeasterly direction, at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway and at an altitude of 560 feet above ground level. The final approach was made to runway 21 at the Sedona Airport, which has a length of 1,562 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, but unfortunately, the touchdown point was quite far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was also excessively high at 61 knots, which is faster than the recommended speed. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -260 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 34 degrees. There was no crosswind, but a slight tailwind of 1 knot was present. The total landing distance was 1,163 meters, which is 74% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing.
In terms of the overall flight, it was a relatively short one, covering a total distance of 3 nautical miles and taking approximately 3 minutes to complete. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, suggesting that it was a very efficient and low-energy operation.

The Cessna 152 aircraft successfully landed at KSEZ Sedona Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The final approach was made from the north east, heading 220.0° at 1 nm and 560 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 21, which has a length of 1,562 meters.
However, the landing was not executed perfectly. The threshold height at 93 ft agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than it should have been at the point of touchdown. Furthermore, the threshold speed was excessively high at 81 kt, which is a critical factor in determining the safety and control of the aircraft during landing.
The touchdown point was also very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. This suggests that the aircraft was not properly aligned with the runway or that the pilot did not manage the descent effectively. Additionally, the touchdown speed at 61 kt was excessively fast, which can increase the risk of a loss of control or a hard landing.
Despite these issues, the touchdown rate was fair at -260 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions were also favorable, with a temperature of 6°C and a wind of 1 kt at 34°. There was no crosswind, but there was a tailwind of 1 kt, which may have contributed to the aircraft's excessive speed.
The total landing distance was 1,163 meters, which is 74% of the available runway. This is a relatively long distance, indicating that the aircraft took some time to come to a stop after touchdown. However, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a safe stop. However, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of managing the descent and touchdown speed.
