This flight, operated by a Curtiss JN-4D, began its ascent from a point approximately 1 mile southeast of Ploiesti in Prahova, Romania. The initial climb, which started at an altitude of 698 feet above sea level, resulted in no net gain, as the aircraft maintained the same altitude for 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The climb was relatively short and shallow, failing to reach higher elevations.
Following the initial climb, the flight transitioned into a level cruise from the same location in Prahova. During this phase, which lasted 40 minutes, the aircraft covered a distance of 24 nautical miles. This leg of the flight was characterized by a steady altitude and a consistent speed, with the Curtiss JN-4D maintaining a stable flight path.
In the approach to landing, the aircraft began its descent from an altitude of 1,186 feet above sea level to 375 feet above sea level. This downward trajectory, which lasted for 3 minutes, covered a distance of 1 nautical mile and resulted in a significant decrease in altitude. The descent started 1 mile north of the destination airport, Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport.
Upon reaching the airport, the flight executed a final approach to runway 25 from the east, targeting an altitude of 86 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a heading of 258.0 degrees and covered a distance of 0 nautical miles prior to touchdown. However, there were issues with the landing, as the threshold speed was excessively high at 67 knots, and the touchdown speed of 50 knots was also excessively fast.
Despite these issues, the overall touchdown distance was good at 366 meters. The touchdown rate of -55 feet per minute was excellent, indicating a controlled and stable descent. Additionally, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft landing in line with the runway. During landing, the aircraft experienced a gentle headwind of 2 knots and a slight crosswind of 1 knot. The landing distance of 793 meters accounted for 27% of the runway's 2,950-meter length.
Following touchdown, the aircraft underwent a successful taxiing period to the parking area from the runway, taking 13 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Overall, this flight demonstrated a stable performance, with a total flight distance of 27 nautical miles covered within 39 minutes and utilizing 17 kilograms of fuel.

The aircraft, a Curtiss JN-4D, successfully landed on runway 25 at the Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport (LRBS). The approach was completed from the east, with the aircraft heading 258.0° and located at 0 nm and 86 ft above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise start to the landing process.
Notably, the aircraft scored an overall performance of 88.9%, which is an excellent mark. The approach speed and height of the aircraft were well managed, with a threshold height that met the expected standards.
However, a notable oversight in the landing process was the excessively high threshold speed of 67 kt. Ideally, this speed should have been lower, given the conditions. Nevertheless, the touchdown distance of 366 m was satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's skill in executing the landing effectively.
Although the touchdown speed of 50 kt was considered fast, the touchdown rate of -55 fpm was an impressive achievement, showcasing the pilot's expertise in managing the aircraft's descent. Moreover, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot navigated the aircraft to the runway centerline with great precision.
Weather conditions during the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and light winds coming from the west, slightly aided by the aircraft's headwind of 2 kt. The minimal crosswind of 1 kt indicates that the pilot successfully compensated for the wind, ensuring a stable approach and landing.
In conclusion, the pilot demonstrated excellent skills during the landing process, with the Curtiss JN-4D aircraft successfully touching down on the runway and executing a smooth rollout. However, areas for improvement remain, particularly around the threshold speed and touchdown speed.
