The flight began with a departure roll from runway 08 at LSGK Saanen Airfield, a small airfield located in the Canton de Berne, Switzerland. The Cessna C172 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 504 meters, which is 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 63 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled takeoff.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airfield, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the tailwind component was 1 knot, which had a minimal effect on the flight.
The enroute climb started overhead Saanen, where the aircraft climbed from an altitude of 3,805 feet above sea level to 4,835 feet, an increase of 1,030 feet in just 1 minute. This rapid climb covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, demonstrating the aircraft's excellent climb performance.
The enroute level cruise phase began 1 mile northeast of Saanen and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This was followed by another level cruise phase overhead Zweisimmen, which also lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 14 at LSTS Sankt Stephan Airfield from the northwest. The aircraft was heading 136.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway and at an altitude of 316 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 14 was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 55 knots and a touchdown distance of 34 meters. The touchdown rate was fair at -214 feet per minute, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those encountered during takeoff, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269°.
The total landing distance was 839 meters, which is 92% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight, demonstrating its excellent fuel efficiency.

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at LSTS Sankt Stephan Airfield, achieving an overall score of 83.3%. The final approach to runway 14 was conducted from the north-west, with a heading of 136.0° at 1 nautical mile and 316 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 56 knots, but still within an acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 34 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. The touchdown speed of 55 knots was also within the desired range, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the landing.
However, the touchdown rate of -214 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have managed the aircraft's descent more smoothly. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both minimal, at 1 knot each, which further contributed to the smoothness of the landing.
The total landing distance of 839 meters was 92% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. However, there is room for improvement in terms of managing the touchdown rate and ensuring a smoother descent.
