This flight was operated on a Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, departing from a position just south east of Ploiesti in the Prahova region of Romania. The enroute climb phase began at an elevation of 913 feet above sea level and managed a negligible increase over the same period, reaching its initial elevation once again.
As the aircraft continued from the same initial position for a period of 15 minutes, it cruised at a consistent level, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The next phase involved the final approach to landing, which began when the aircraft was 1 nautical mile above the destination, Barcanesti. During the approach, the altitude was maintained at 228 feet above ground level and remained so for a further 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft descended towards the runway, the final phase was reached with a descent from 46 feet above the ground to touch down smoothly at 0 feet. This phase took precisely 12 seconds to complete, resulting in a touchdown rate of -161 feet per minute. However, due to a high touchdown speed of 70 knots, the touchdown point lay 226 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone.
Once the aircraft had touched down, it began the rollout phase, maintaining an altitude of around 400 feet above sea level. It was able to bring the aircraft to a complete stop after a distance of 229 meters. Throughout the flight, the crew had to contend with local weather conditions, including a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with winds blowing very gently at 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees.
Taking into account the crosswind of approximately 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots, these factors may have contributed to the aircraft's high touchdown speed. Nonetheless, the crew was able to land the aircraft successfully. The flight itself covered a total distance of 4 nautical miles within a duration of 5 minutes and consumed around 5 kilograms of fuel.

The landing of the Cessna Skyhawk has been assessed, with a score of 88.0% achieved. The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision throughout its final approach to landing at Barcanesti, Romania, with a steady descent from 1 nautical mile at 228 feet above ground level (agl). As the aircraft neared the touchdown zone, it began its descent from 46 feet agl to 0 feet agl, showing a quick and controlled drop of 46 feet over a period of 12 seconds.
However, the pilot faced a challenge when they attempted to touch down, as the touchdown speed of 70 knots was slightly faster than desired. Despite this, the aircraft's touchdown rate of -161 feet per minute (fpm) was within the acceptable range, demonstrating good control and stability.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft overshot the center of the touchdown zone, coming down 226 meters beyond the designated area. This may be attributed to the faster-than-desired touchdown speed, which may have affected the pilot's ability to accurately control the aircraft's descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing played a significant role in the aircraft's performance, with a gentle wind of 2 knots at 269 degrees affecting the aircraft's ground speed. Although the crosswind was minimal, the tailwind of 2 knots may have contributed to the aircraft's slight drift away from the center of the touchdown zone.
Finally, the landing rollout phase saw the aircraft maintain an altitude of 400 feet above sea level (asl), with a distance of 229 meters being covered during this phase. The pilot demonstrated good control and ability to maintain a stable flight path during this critical phase of the landing.
