This flight was conducted in a Zlin Shock Ultra Float aircraft, which took off from a location 87 miles southwest of MRNS Nosara Airport in Nicoya, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica. The aircraft began its climb from an initial altitude of 186 feet above sea level, rapidly ascending to 664 feet in just one minute, covering a distance of one nautical mile. This impressive climb rate allowed the aircraft to quickly gain altitude and establish a stable flight path.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed for five minutes as it covered a distance of six nautical miles. This cruise phase was initiated from a location 86 miles southwest of MRNS Nosara Airport, and it provided the pilot with a stable and efficient flight condition.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to landing at MRCV Cabo Velas Airport in Nicoya, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica. The approach was conducted from a distance of one nautical mile, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 353 feet above ground level to a final touchdown altitude of zero feet. This descent was completed in a remarkably short period of 39 seconds, with the aircraft experiencing a significant rate of descent of -841 feet per minute.
The aircraft touched down at a speed of 16 knots, which was relatively slow considering the aircraft's type and configuration. However, the touchdown rate was heavy, indicating that the pilot may have been experiencing some difficulty in controlling the aircraft's descent. Fortunately, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 680 feet, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 78 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle wind of 7 knots from a direction of 335 degrees.
In terms of fuel consumption, the aircraft used a total of three pounds of fuel to complete the flight, which covered a distance of seven nautical miles. This fuel efficiency was impressive, considering the aircraft's performance and the challenging weather conditions. Overall, this flight demonstrated the capabilities of the Zlin Shock Ultra Float aircraft, particularly its ability to climb rapidly and maintain a stable flight path in a variety of conditions.

The Zlin Shock Ultra Floats aircraft successfully completed a landing, scoring 53.9%. The final approach to landing took place 86 miles southwest of MRCV Cabo Velas Airport in Nicoya, Provincia de Guanacaste, Costa Rica. The aircraft began its descent from an altitude of 353 feet above ground level (agl) to 1 nm, maintaining a steady altitude before continuing its approach.
As the aircraft approached the touchdown point, it descended from 335 ft agl to 0 ft agl in a remarkably short period of 39 seconds, indicating a steep rate of descent. This rapid descent resulted in a very heavy touchdown rate of -841 feet per minute (fpm), which is significantly higher than the typical rate for a safe landing.
Despite the heavy touchdown rate, the aircraft managed to maintain a good touchdown distance of 680 feet. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 78°F and a gentle wind of 7 kt blowing from a direction of 335°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the headwind component was 7 kt, which likely contributed to the aircraft's ability to maintain control during the landing.
The touchdown speed of 16 kt was relatively low, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's speed during the final approach and landing. Overall, while the landing was not perfect, with a score of 53.9%, the aircraft and pilot demonstrated a good level of control and precision, particularly considering the challenging weather conditions.
