Next time

Departure

Ease back pressure in smoothly as you approach 61 kt, holding a steady rotation rate rather than snatching the controls.

What happened: On the takeoff roll the aircraft bounced before becoming fully airborne.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: a smooth, continuous pitch-up through liftoff with no secondary bounce.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Add power on final to hold 61 kt across the threshold.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 54 kt, 7 kt below VREF, and low energy like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown at 136 fpm.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 61 kt at the threshold

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Spacing cues are relative to your eyepoint, so two simmers with different FOV settings following the same wingtip cue fly patterns half a mile different in width, and a wide FOV compresses depth so the runway on base looks further away than it is, biasing you towards a late turn. Pick a camera position and FOV, save it, and never change it, because every judgement you calibrate is calibrated to that picture.

Flight narrative

Departing from Cibao International Airport, the Cessna 152 began its takeoff roll on runway 29, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 58 kt in a distance of 356 m, which accounted for 14% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off into a calm local weather environment, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt from a direction of 270 °.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it maintained a steady pace, completing the downwind turn in a distance of 2 nm and the downwind leg in 111 seconds, covering a distance of 3 nm. The base leg turn was executed at an angle of 56.6 ° to the runway, followed by a base leg of 1 nm in 41 seconds. The final turn was completed in less than 1 nm in 37 seconds, setting the aircraft up for a final approach to runway 29 from the east. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 36 kt, with a touchdown distance of 321 m and a touchdown rate of -58 fpm, which was considered excellent.

The flight concluded with a total distance of 12 nm, covering the entire traffic pattern and a short landing roll. The aircraft used 2 kg of fuel during the flight, which was a relatively efficient performance. The landing was considered good, with a slightly misaligned runway touchdown position of 4.0 m from the centreline. The aircraft's performance was consistent with the local weather conditions, which remained calm throughout the flight, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 29 at MDST Cibao International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition into the touchdown phase. The threshold speed was slightly below the target, coming in at 55 kt, but this did not impact the overall quality of the landing. The aircraft maintained a steady descent rate, touching down at a speed of 36 kt, which was within the acceptable range.

The touchdown distance of 321 m was satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -58 fpm was excellent, indicating a controlled and stable descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating by 4.0 m from the centreline. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.

The overall score for this landing was 98.8%, reflecting the high quality of the approach and touchdown phases. The slight deviation from the centreline was the only notable area for improvement. The pilot's ability to maintain a steady descent rate and control the aircraft's speed during the touchdown phase was commendable, and the landing was overall a successful one.
