Departure
Arrival
This flight was conducted in a Cessna 152 aircraft, taking off from the Sedona Airport in Arizona, United States. The enroute climb began approximately 2 miles southwest of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from an initial altitude of 5,396 feet above sea level to 5,373 feet above sea level, a gain of 23 feet in less than a minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached the runway, it was heading southwest at a bearing of 45.0 degrees, approximately 1 nautical mile from the runway, and at an altitude of 634 feet above ground level. The final approach to runway 03 at the Sedona Airport was executed smoothly, with the aircraft landing safely on the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 123 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 57 knots, which was excessively fast. However, the touchdown rate was smooth, at -147 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 1 knot at 34 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a headwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 764 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, which lasted for 2 nautical miles and took approximately 2 minutes to complete.

The Cessna 152 aircraft successfully landed at KSEZ Sedona Airport, but there were some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 45.0° at 1 nm and 634 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 03, which has a length of 1,562 meters.
Upon analysis, it was found that the threshold height at 166 ft agl was excessively over the target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than desired when reaching the runway threshold. Additionally, the threshold speed was well above the target at 65 kt, suggesting that the aircraft was traveling too fast when reaching the threshold. This could be a result of the pilot not properly configuring the aircraft for landing or not following the recommended approach speed.
The touchdown point was 123 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant deviation from the desired landing spot. Furthermore, the touchdown speed at 57 kt was excessively fast, indicating that the pilot may not have properly managed the aircraft's descent and speed during the final approach. However, the touchdown rate was smooth at -147 fpm, which is a positive aspect of the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 6 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt at 34°. The crosswind was negligible, and the headwind was minimal at 1 kt. These conditions would not have significantly impacted the landing.
The total landing distance was 764 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the aircraft may have been traveling too fast or not properly configured for landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas for improvement, including managing the aircraft's speed and height during the final approach, and configuring the aircraft for a more precise touchdown.
