The flight began with a departure roll from runway 22 at EGCW Welshpool Airport, a small airport located in Welshpool, Sir Powys, Wales. The Cessna 152 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 277 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway's total length. The aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 57 knots, marking the beginning of its ascent.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was also 1 knot. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 398 feet above sea level to 316 feet, an increase of 82 feet, in just 1 minute. This climb phase covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
After completing the enroute climb, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 04 at EGCW Welshpool Airport.

The Cessna 152 aircraft successfully landed on runway 04 at EGCW Welshpool Airport, achieving a score of 81.0%. The final approach was initiated from the south-west, heading 55.0° at 0 nm and 82 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach.
However, there were some areas for improvement. The threshold speed was excessively high at 80 kt, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed during the approach. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 64 kt was also excessively fast, which could have resulted in a longer rollout distance. On the other hand, the touchdown rate of -40 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 2 kt at 260°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 1 kt each, which did not significantly impact the landing. The aircraft landed on the runway at a distance of 363 m, which was considered good.
The total landing distance of 680 m was 84% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe stop. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, showing that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement in terms of speed management.
