This flight took place in the vicinity of Bal Harbour, Florida, United States, and involved a Seastar aircraft. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile north of Bal Harbour, with the aircraft ascending from an initial altitude of 456 feet above sea level (asl) to 341 ft asl, resulting in a net increase of 115 ft in just 1 minute. This climb covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached the landing ground, it flew overhead Bal Harbour from a distance of 1 nautical mile to 1 nautical mile at an altitude of 335 ft above ground level (agl). The final approach to landing was characterized by a descent from 46 ft agl to 0 ft agl, with the aircraft covering this vertical distance in just 11 seconds. This descent was a critical phase of the flight, requiring precise control to ensure a safe touchdown.
The touchdown itself occurred at a speed of 66 knots, which was deemed good. However, the touchdown rate of -282 feet per minute (fpm) was considered fair. The touchdown distance of 1,424 ft was also evaluated as good. The local weather conditions at the time of the flight included a temperature of 87 °F and a wind speed of 3 kt from a direction of 192 °. The crosswind and headwind components were both 2 kt.
Following the touchdown, the aircraft underwent a landing rollout, during which it maintained an altitude of 0 ft asl. The distance covered during this phase was 296 ft. The total flight distance was a relatively short 1 nautical mile, and the entire flight lasted 2 minutes. Notably, the aircraft consumed -80 lbs of fuel during this brief flight.

The Seastar aircraft successfully completed its landing at Bal Harbour, Florida, with a score of 70.3%. The final approach to landing was initiated from 1 nautical mile away, with the aircraft flying at an altitude of 335 feet above ground level (agl) at a bearing of 335 degrees. As the aircraft descended towards the ground, it maintained a steady altitude of 46 feet agl before touching down.
The descent from 46 feet agl to 0 feet agl was completed in a relatively short period of 11 seconds, indicating a smooth and controlled approach. The touchdown speed of 66 knots was considered good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. However, the touchdown rate of -282 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced a slight bounce or oscillation upon touchdown.
The touchdown distance of 1,424 feet was deemed good, indicating that the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's speed and altitude to achieve a safe and controlled touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 87 degrees Fahrenheit and a light wind of 3 knots at 192 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 2 knots each, which likely contributed to the successful landing.
Following touchdown, the aircraft's landing rollout was completed in a distance of 296 feet, with the aircraft maintaining an altitude of 0 feet above sea level (asl). Overall, while the landing was not perfect, with a score of 70.3%, the pilot demonstrated a good understanding of aircraft control and management, and the landing was ultimately successful.
