Departing from Sedona Airport (KSEZ), the Cessna 152 initiated its enroute climb from a position 1 mile south of the airport, ascending from an initial altitude of 5,997 ft above sea level to 5,169 ft, a net gain of 828 ft in just 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 4 nautical miles, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude in a short period. As the aircraft continued on its route, it began its final approach to runway 21 at KSEZ, aligning itself with the runway from the north-east at a heading of 226.0°, approximately 1 nautical mile from the threshold and at an altitude of 434 ft above ground level.
Upon reaching the threshold, the aircraft touched down on runway 21, which measures 1,561 meters in length. The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed of 66 knots was significantly above the target value. The touchdown distance of 193 meters was within acceptable limits, however, the touchdown speed of 60 knots was excessively high. The touchdown rate of -204 ft per minute was fair, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 34°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind.
The aircraft's performance during the landing phase was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 657 meters, accounting for 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration after touchdown. The total flight distance of 4 nautical miles was completed in 3 minutes, with no fuel consumption reported. Overall, the flight demonstrated a good balance of climb and landing performance, with some areas for improvement in terms of speed management.
