Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 62 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 73 kt, 11 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 62 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Make one smooth continuous pitch input through the flare rather than chasing the runway with the elevator.
What happened: The flare was pumped, with pitch reversing direction several times on the way down instead of one smooth input.
Watch for: Watch the pitch attitude trend through the flare, aiming for a single steady rise through 4° with no reversals.
See Arrival Landing
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
At the 300 ft gate: off the runway's 3° glideslope.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,606 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,134 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Cibao International Airport, the Cessna Skyhawk began its takeoff roll on runway 29. The aircraft accelerated down the 2,606-meter runway, reaching liftoff speed of 73 knots in a distance of 611 meters, which accounted for 23% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 1 knot 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 1 nautical mile and an angle of 36.9° to the runway. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 4 nautical miles in 138 seconds. The base leg turn was executed smoothly, with the aircraft turning through an angle of 32.4° to the runway. The final approach was made from the east, with the aircraft descending to an altitude of 714 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold.
The Cessna Skyhawk touched down on runway 29 at a speed of 47 knots, with a touchdown rate of -92 feet per minute, which was an excellent performance. The touchdown point was located 692 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the total landing distance was 1,283 meters, accounting for 49% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft used a total of 3 kilograms of fuel for the 9-nautical-mile flight, which took approximately 7 minutes to complete.
The aircraft touched down on runway 29 at MDST Cibao International Airport, demonstrating a good threshold height and speed of 59 kt. The approach quality was satisfactory, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 284.0° at 1 nm and 714 ft above ground level. The touchdown point was 692 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. However, the touchdown speed of 47 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -92 fpm was excellent, showcasing the pilot's skill in controlling the descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained excellent runway touchdown alignment, with the centreline alignment being very good. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a smooth landing. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 kt, further facilitating a stable approach and touchdown. The total landing distance of 1,283 m, accounting for 49% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.
The rollout phase was executed flawlessly, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment with the centreline. The overall performance of the landing earned a score of 86.9%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot. The landing was characterized by a good approach, smooth touchdown, and precise control during the rollout phase, showcasing the pilot's ability to navigate challenging weather conditions and execute a safe and efficient landing.
