The climb started 1 mile southwest of Pontoy, in the Grand Est region of France. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, flying overhead Flexbourg, also in the Grand Est region of France, for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 75 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its descent from 18,437 feet above sea level to 14,986 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,452 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 20 nautical miles. This descent started overhead Gottmadingen, in the Baden-Wuerttemberg region of Germany. The aircraft then leveled off again and entered another cruise phase, flying 1 mile southwest of Zuzwil, in the Kanton St. Gallen region of Switzerland, for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent from 14,891 feet above sea level to 13,155 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,737 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. This descent started 1 mile east of Urnasch, also in the Kanton Appenzell Ausserrhoden region of Switzerland. The aircraft then leveled off again and entered another cruise phase, flying 3 miles east of Buchs, in the Kanton St. Gallen region of Switzerland, for 12 minutes, covering a distance of 36 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began its final descent from 12,472 feet above sea level to 5,998 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,474 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. This descent started 3 miles southwest of Ardez, in the Kanton Graubunden region of Switzerland. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 21 at LSZS Samedan Airport, flying from the northeast at a heading of 211.0°, at 1 nautical mile and 398 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 21 at LSZS Samedan Airport was successful, with a touchdown point 52 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 59 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -89 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 14.2 meters from the centerline.

The aircraft in question is a Cessna 400 Corvalis, which successfully landed at LSZS Samedan Airport, a small airport in Switzerland. The pilot's performance during the final approach and landing was evaluated, resulting in a score of 88.3%.
The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north-east, heading 211.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 398 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot successfully landed the aircraft on runway 21, which has a length of 1,732 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe altitude before touching down.
However, the pilot did experience some issues with the threshold speed, which was slightly below the target speed of 66 knots. Despite this, the touchdown speed of 59 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -89 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
One notable issue during the landing was the misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was off-centerline by 14.2 meters. This was also observed during the runway rollout alignment, where the aircraft was again slightly misaligned from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 228°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots. The total landing distance was 651 meters, which is 38% of the runway length. Overall, while the pilot demonstrated some areas for improvement, the landing was considered successful, and the pilot's performance was evaluated as 88.3%.
