The final approach was conducted from the northeast, heading 220.0° at 4 nautical miles and 2,230 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 21.

The runway at KGCN Grand Canyon National Park Airport has a length of 2,740 meters, providing a safe margin for the Cessna C172's landing. The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed of 47 knots was well below the target, indicating that the pilot was cautious to avoid stalling the aircraft. The touchdown distance of 104 meters was also satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 44 knots was within acceptable limits.

However, the touchdown rate was reported as hard, with a rate of -478 feet per minute (fpm). This may indicate that the pilot could have applied a smoother touchdown, but it did not compromise the safety of the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the final stages of the 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 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, which did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot. The total landing distance of 283 meters was only 10% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control and precision to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and safely.

The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment throughout the approach and landing.
