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 1 mile south of the airport, with the aircraft ascending from an initial altitude of 5,997 feet above sea level to 5,375 feet above sea level, a total increase of 623 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached the runway, it was heading in a northeasterly direction, at a bearing of 227.0 degrees, and was 1 nautical mile away from the runway at an altitude of 602 feet above ground level. The final approach to runway 21 at the Sedona Airport was executed with precision, with the aircraft aligning perfectly with the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, but unfortunately, the touchdown point was quite far down the runway, using more than 50% of the available runway length. The touchdown speed of 65 knots was also excessively high, and the touchdown rate of -234 feet per minute was only fair. However, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 6 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot from a direction of 34 degrees. There was no crosswind, but a slight tailwind of 1 knot was present. The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,202 meters, which accounted for 77% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
The total flight distance was a relatively short 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was also 3 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, indicating that the flight was likely a short training exercise or a test flight.

The Cessna 152 aircraft has successfully landed at KSEZ Sedona Airport, but the landing performance was not ideal. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 227.0° at 1 nm and 602 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 21, which has a length of 1,562 meters.
However, the landing performance was marred by several issues. The threshold height at 136 ft agl was excessively over target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than it should have been at the threshold of the runway. This could be due to a number of factors, including a high approach speed or a late start to the descent. The threshold speed was also excessively high at 81 kt, which is above the recommended landing speed for a Cessna 152.
The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. This suggests that the aircraft was not aligned properly with the runway or that the pilot did not manage the descent and flare effectively. The touchdown speed of 65 kt was also excessively fast, which can increase the risk of a bounced landing or a loss of control. The touchdown rate of -234 fpm was fair, but not ideal.
Despite these issues, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had good control of the aircraft during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions were also favorable, with a temperature of 6°C and a light wind of 1 kt at 34°.
The total landing distance of 1,202 meters was 77% of the available runway, which is a relatively long distance. However, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had good control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, while the landing was successful, there were several areas for improvement, including managing the descent and flare, aligning the aircraft with the runway, and controlling the touchdown speed.
