Departing from an undisclosed location, the Sting S4 initiated its enroute climb phase as it passed overhead Yde, situated in the Provincie Drenthe, The Netherlands. The aircraft successfully transitioned from a low altitude of 19 feet above sea level to 1,003 feet, a vertical increase of 984 feet, within a short period of 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude.
Following the initial climb, the Sting S4 entered a level cruise phase, which began as it passed overhead Eelde, also located in the Provincie Drenthe. This phase lasted for 5 minutes, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered a distance of 8 nautical miles. Subsequently, the aircraft initiated another climb phase, this time from a position 1 mile north of Leek, in the Provincie Groningen. The aircraft successfully climbed from 990 feet to 2,997 feet, a vertical increase of 2,008 feet, within 3 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
As the Sting S4 approached its destination, it began its descent phase, starting from a position 1 mile northwest of Marum, in the Provincie Groningen. The aircraft descended from 2,991 feet to 856 feet, a vertical decrease of 2,135 feet, within 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 26 at EHDR Drachten Airfield was executed from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 255.0° at an altitude of 831 feet above ground level, 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the 722-meter-long runway at a distance of 95 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target, at 39 knots, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a light headwind of 1 knot, contributed to a smooth landing. The total flight distance was 20 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the 13-minute flight.

The aircraft touched down smoothly on runway 26 at EHDR Drachten Airfield, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The approach quality was excellent, with a steady descent rate and a stable airspeed. The threshold speed was slightly below the target of 50 kt, at 45 kt, which was a minor deviation from the ideal.
As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 95 m, indicating a well-controlled approach. However, the touchdown speed was a little fast at 39 kt, which may have been due to a slight overcorrection on the flare. The touchdown rate was excellent at -76 fpm, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline.
The rollout was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft responding well to the rudder inputs. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light headwind of 1 kt. The wind direction was from the west, at 270 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind component. Overall, the landing was a creditable performance, with a score of 99.5% reflecting the high level of skill and precision displayed by the pilot.
