What went well

Touched down at -138 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 267 m in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 15 ft and 52 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Departure Roll — Rotation speed was 37 kt at 56 %, −0.98 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 81 %, −0.60 points
Departure Climb 1 — bank angle up to 10.8 ° at 83 %, −0.59 points

Next time

Departure

Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 53 kt, then rotate.

What happened: You started the rotation at 37 kt, 16 kt before the 53 kt rotation speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 53 kt at rotation

See Departure Roll

Arrival

After the sink arrests at 14 ft, keep easing the yoke forward to let the aircraft continue settling rather than pausing above the runway.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 14 ft and the aircraft was held level there instead of being let down. Holding off high like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown, and here the touchdown rate was 137 fpm.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, continuing descent through the flare all the way to touchdown.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Speed and pitch

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.

Rotated at 37 kt, 16 kt below the 53 kt target, and lifted off at 40 kt 1.1 s later, the nose coming up at 7.4° a second.

How to read this

Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second.

How to read this

The lap from above, with the landing direction to the left: the opposite of the runway drawings. The wide pale-blue line is a textbook circuit for your downwind speed - the downwind a mile out for every 100 kt, every turn at 30° of bank - and your track is drawn over it, each leg in the colour of its mark. The numbers are the four turns, the same as on the profile and the cards below. The 45° line from the threshold is the usual point to turn onto base.

How to read this

The same lap straightened out, so the height and the bank can be read together. Each shaded stretch is a turn, numbered as on the plan. The green box is circuit height, 1,000 ft, on the downwind. The amber line is 30° of bank, and a turn's steepest bank shows red above 32°. "Turn crosswind from" is the lowest height to start the first turn at.

Profile height against the 2.8° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 1.3 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 300 ft above the slope.

How to read this

Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 2.8° here, which is about 300 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber.

How to read this

Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 27 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 16 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 1.3 nm, where the final began, to 1.0 nm (up to +20 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

How to read this

Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down.

The flare80.62

The flare wandered off the target profile. The flare took the sink out 14 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft flew down from there. Touchdown was 267 m past the threshold. Let it come lower before checking the descent - holding off high uses runway and leaves the touchdown to chance.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 3° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 270° at 1 kt · 1 kt tail · 0 kt across

How to read this

The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.

The stop

From 47 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 11 s, an average deceleration of 0.09 g.

How to read this

Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 15 ft, 35 ft below the 50 ft target; began the flare at 15 ft. Touched down 267 m in, close to the ideal 305 m.

The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 100 fpm at the flare to 10 fpm at 14 ft, then back up to 140 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.7° on the way down.

Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.

Flight narrative

Departure from Cibao International Airport's runway 11 was smooth, with the Cessna 152 taking off in a distance of 240 meters, representing just 9% of the available runway length. Liftoff speed was achieved at 40 knots, as the aircraft transitioned from the ground to the air. Local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated good control and maneuverability, completing the pattern entry in 21 seconds and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The subsequent downwind turn and base leg were executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading and speed. The final approach to runway 11 was made from the west, with the aircraft descending at a rate of 455 feet above ground level (agl) and maintaining a heading of 97.0°. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 37 knots and a distance of 262 meters, representing just 18% of the available runway length.

The post-landing rollout was characterized by good alignment, with the aircraft remaining on the centerline. The total landing distance of 461 meters was within acceptable limits, and the aircraft used a relatively small amount of fuel, totaling 1 kilogram for the entire flight. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. Overall, the flight demonstrated good handling and control, with the pilot executing a smooth and efficient landing.
