The flight began with a departure roll from runway 02 at KUZA Rock Hill - York County Airport. The aircraft, a PA28 Warrior II, required a takeoff distance of 267 feet, which is 5% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 66 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 52 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 210 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 4 knots.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern, it flew a distance of 1 nautical mile in 24 seconds. The right-hand pattern crosswind was navigated in less than 1 nautical mile in 30 seconds. The pilot then executed a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 50.1 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 3 nautical miles long and took 133 seconds to complete.

The base leg turn was another 2 nautical miles, with an angle of 57.8 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 83 seconds to complete. The final turn was less than 1 nautical mile in 23 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 02 from the south, flying at a heading of 11.0 degrees and an altitude of 312 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 02 was successful, with the threshold height being good and the threshold speed slightly below the target at 61 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,020 feet, which is a good distance, and the touchdown speed was 51 knots, also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was excellent at -58 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The total landing distance was 1,944 feet, which is 35% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 3 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile.
