The crosswind and tailwind components were both minimal, at 1 knot each. The pilot then entered a right-hand pattern, navigating the aircraft around the airport in a circular path. The entry into the pattern was smooth, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 71 seconds.

As the aircraft continued its right-hand pattern, it encountered a crosswind from the runway 04 direction. The pilot expertly navigated the aircraft, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 18 seconds. The pattern then progressed to the downwind turn, where the aircraft turned at an angle of 84.7 degrees to the runway. This was followed by the downwind leg, which covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 88 seconds.

The pilot then initiated the base leg turn, turning the aircraft at an angle of 58.0 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was short, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 29 seconds. The final turn was then executed, bringing the aircraft onto the final approach to runway 04. The aircraft was heading southwest, at an altitude of 122 feet above ground level, and was aligned with the runway.

The final approach was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 44 knots. The touchdown distance was good, at 306 meters, and the touchdown rate was perfect, at -46 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating a well-executed landing. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees.
