The flight departed from the Sedona Airport, KSEZ, in Arizona, United States, and began its enroute climb 1 mile south of the airport. The aircraft, a Cessna 152, successfully transitioned from a ground speed of approximately 60 knots to a climb speed, reaching an altitude of 6,076 feet above sea level, a 76-foot increase in just 2 minutes, while covering less than 1 nautical mile. This initial climb phase was brief, lasting only 2 minutes, and was followed by a level cruise phase, where the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and airspeed, covering 3 nautical miles in the same amount of time.
As the aircraft approached the final approach phase, it began its descent from a height of 707 feet above ground level, heading 220.0° from the northeast, and aligned itself with runway 21. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly higher than optimal at 70 knots, but the touchdown distance of 184 meters was satisfactory. However, the touchdown speed of 58 knots was excessively fast, resulting in a fair touchdown rate of -231 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 6°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 34°, contributed to a smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 497 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway length, was satisfactory. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a well-executed landing. The flight's total distance of 4 nautical miles was covered in 3 minutes, and the aircraft used no additional fuel during the flight, indicating efficient operation. Overall, the flight demonstrated a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics, and the crew executed the landing with precision and control.

The Cessna 152 touched down on runway 21 at KSEZ Sedona Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision throughout the descent. The aircraft was established on the final approach from the north east, heading 220.0° at 1 nm and 707 ft above ground level. The approach was characterized by a stable and consistent rate of descent, culminating in a good threshold height.
However, the threshold speed was slightly above the recommended value at 70 kt, indicating a potential for a longer rollout. Despite this, the touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 184 m, and the aircraft maintained a relatively fast touchdown speed of 58 kt. The touchdown rate of -231 fpm was fair, suggesting a moderate impact on the landing gear. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline.
The rollout phase was characterized by excellent control and precision, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 497 m was 32% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout. Overall, the landing was deemed satisfactory, with a score of 95.1%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 6 °C and a light wind of 1 kt at 34°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing.
