Improve the rollout
Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,096 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 455 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The aircraft taxied from the parking area to runway 09 at MDPC Punta Cana International Airport in less than 1 minute, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 09, the Cessna 152 accelerated for a takeoff distance of 289 m, representing 9 % of the runway length, and lifted off at 46 kt; ambient temperature was 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, no cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
The first en-route climb began 1 mile east of MDPC, where the aircraft rose from 942 ft asl to 1,171 ft asl, an increase of 229 ft achieved in 1 minute while covering 1 nm.
A level cruise segment followed 2 miles north-east of the airport, lasting 3 minutes and extending over 5 nm.
Descent commenced overhead Punta Cana, with the airplane descending from 1,710 ft asl to 47 ft asl, a loss of 1,663 ft in 3 minutes while traversing 4 nm.
Subsequent climb activity started overhead MDPC, where altitude increased from 46 ft asl to 2,014 ft asl, a gain of 1,968 ft accomplished in 3 minutes over a distance of 4 nm.
The final cruise phase began 1 mile north-east of Punta Cana, lasting 2 minutes and covering 3 nm.
In total, the flight covered 19 nm, took 17 (unspecified units) and consumed 5 kg of fuel.
The final approach to runway 09 at MDPC Punta Cana International Airport was flown from the west on a heading of 86.0 ° at 1 nm and 680 ft agl, with ambient temperature 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 270 °, crosswind 0 kt and tailwind 1 kt.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good height and a good threshold speed of 57 kt.
Touchdown occurred 256 m down the runway, a distance judged good, with a touchdown speed of 50 kt described as fast, a touchdown rate of -63 fpm rated excellent, and the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 6.2 m from the centreline.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 21,630 m, representing 699 % of the available runway, and the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 3,515.8 m from the centreline.
Coaching should concentrate on improving rollout alignment and reducing the excessive landing distance, as these deviations most affect the overall score of 75.4 %. Refining speed management and touchdown positioning will help achieve a more controlled rollout within the runway limits.
