This flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a DA-50, then departed from runway 02 at EGKA Brighton City Airport. The takeoff distance was 496 meters, which accounted for 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 85 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 17 °C and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 20 °. This resulted in a headwind of 16 knots, with no crosswind component. The pilot then entered a left-hand pattern from runway 02, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 16 seconds.

As the aircraft continued its pattern, it encountered a crosswind from runway 02, which it navigated in 18 seconds. The pilot then executed a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 55.6 ° to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 3 nautical miles long and took 84 seconds to complete.

The pilot then initiated a base leg turn, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 4.9 ° to the runway. The final approach to runway 02 was made from the south, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 24.0 ° and an altitude of 561 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 02 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 75 knots and a distance of 234 meters. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -139 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 20 °, resulting in a headwind of 14 knots with no crosswind component.

The total landing distance was 518 meters, which accounted for 68% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, taking approximately 10 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
