This flight was conducted in a Cessna 152 aircraft, taking off from the Sedona Airport in Arizona, United States. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile south of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from an initial altitude of 6,042 feet above sea level to 5,285 feet above sea level, a total increase of 756 feet in just 2 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the runway, it was heading in a northeasterly direction, at a bearing of 227.0 degrees, and was 1 nautical mile away from the runway. At this point, the aircraft was at an altitude of 547 feet above ground level. The final approach to runway 21 at the Sedona Airport was executed smoothly, with the aircraft landing safely on the 1,562-meter-long runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 55 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 288 meters, but the touchdown speed was a little fast at 44 knots. The most concerning aspect of the landing was the very heavy touchdown rate of -702 feet per minute, which indicates a significant impact upon landing. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 7.3 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of the flight were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 13 knots coming from a direction of 244 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 12 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft landed safely, with a total landing distance of 495 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll.
The total flight distance was a relatively short 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 4 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, suggesting that the engine was either shut down or the flight was extremely short. Overall, the flight was executed safely, but with some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and rate.

The Cessna 152 aircraft successfully landed at KSEZ Sedona Airport, with a score of 76.6%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 227.0° at 1 nautical mile and 547 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 21, which has a length of 1,562 meters.
The threshold height at 56 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation in the approach. However, the threshold speed was good at 55 knots, demonstrating a well-executed approach. The touchdown distance of 288 meters was also within acceptable limits.
Despite a good touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 44 knots was slightly faster than desired. This may have contributed to the very heavy touchdown rate of -702 feet per minute (fpm), which is higher than the typical rate. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 7.3 meters from the centreline, which may have been a result of the slightly fast touchdown speed.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6°C and a wind speed of 13 knots at 244°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. These conditions likely had a minimal impact on the landing.
The total landing distance of 495 meters was 32% of the runway length, which is within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout after touchdown. Overall, while there were some minor deviations in the approach and landing, the Cessna 152 aircraft successfully landed at KSEZ Sedona Airport with a score of 76.6%.
