Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.

What happened: The aircraft drifted 21 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 2.6° of bank in the first climb segment and 6.2° still showing in the second.

Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1Departure Climb 2

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 08 at the Gregorio Luperon International Airport in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. The aircraft, a Cessna 152, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 75 kt, covering a distance of 406 m, which was 13% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 1 kt from a direction of 270 °.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 282 ft above sea level to a cruising altitude of 6,401 ft. This climb phase covered a distance of 11 nm and took approximately 8 minutes to complete, resulting in an increase of 6,118 ft in altitude. The aircraft then leveled off and entered a cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nm, before beginning its descent towards the destination airport.

The descent phase started 4 miles north of San Victor Arriba and involved a decrease in altitude from 5,979 ft to 738 ft, a drop of 5,241 ft in 6 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nm. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 11 at the Cibao International Airport, flying from the west at a heading of 104.0 ° and an altitude of 170 ft above ground level.

The landing was executed on runway 11, which had a length of 2,606 m. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 50 kt. The touchdown distance was 209 m, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed was 32 kt, which was also good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -90 fpm. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.9 m.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 30 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 1 kt from a direction of 270 °. The total landing distance was 316 m, which was 12% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent and landing. The total flight distance was 24 nm, and the flight duration was 17 minutes, during which the aircraft used 5 kg of fuel.

Landing on runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport in the Cessna 152
Landing Score 97.24 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna 152 aircraft successfully landed at MDST Cibao International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.2%. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 104.0° at an altitude of 170 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft touched down on runway 11, which has a length of 2,606 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 50 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 209 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 32 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -90 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 6.9 meters, which may require some adjustments in the approach or landing technique. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 30°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was minimal at 1 knot.

The total landing distance of 316 meters was only 12% of the runway length, indicating a short and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and stability during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
