What went well

Touched down at -97 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 263 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 1.44 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Departure Roll — Liftoff speed was 90 kt at 0 %, −2.36 points
Arrival Approach — 500 ft gate 86 %, −1.19 points
Pattern Base Leg Turn — Angle to runway (45 degrees) 20.4 ° at 62 %, bank angle up to 34.6 ° at 86 %, −0.75 points

Next time

Departure

Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 54 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.

What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 90 kt, 36 kt above the target liftoff speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 54 kt at liftoff

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Ease the pitch and add power earlier on final to arrest the descent rate before reaching the stabilisation gate.

What happened: On the approach, the aircraft's sink rate exceeded the stabilised gate limit, tripping a sink-rate fault at the gate check.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, stabilised descent rate approaching the gate

See Arrival Approach

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.

Flight narrative

The aircraft departed Robin DR-400 from runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport, achieving liftoff after a take-off roll of 1,431 m, which represented 55 % of the available runway. The aircraft left the ground at a speed of 90 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind from 270° at 1 kt; cross-wind was nil and tail-wind component was 1 kt.

During the pattern entry the aircraft entered a left-hand circuit for runway 11, covering 1 nm in 17 seconds. The subsequent left-hand crosswind leg was less than 1 nm and required 22 seconds. The downwind turn spanned 1 nm with a 27.0° angle to the runway, followed by a downwind leg of 5 nm completed in 150 seconds. The base-leg turn covered 2 nm at a 17.7° angle to the runway, after which the base leg was less than 1 nm and lasted 16 seconds. The final turn was also less than 1 nm and took 15 seconds before the aircraft commenced the final approach.

The final approach descent was executed from 1,101 ft AGL to 30 ft AGL in 75 seconds, and the aircraft met the stabilisation gate criteria. The approach was conducted to runway 11, with the same wind conditions as earlier (temperature 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 270°, cross-wind 0 kt, tail-wind 1 kt).

Touch-down occurred on runway 11, whose length is 2,614 m. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 64 kt. The aircraft landed 261 m from the threshold at a speed of 47 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 43 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 3.5 m from the centreline. The total landing roll measured 451 m, representing 17 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was recorded as very good.

In total the flight covered 13 nm, required approximately 7 minutes, and consumed 2 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport was evaluated against the stabilisation gates, with the aircraft descending from 1,101 ft agl to 30 ft agl in 75 seconds and receiving a score for meeting the gate criteria.

During the threshold and flare phase the aircraft maintained a good threshold height, while the threshold speed was recorded at 64 kt, slightly below the target value.

Touchdown occurred 261 m down the runway at a speed of 47 kt, both described as good, and the vertical rate was perfect at minus 43 fpm; the touchdown point was offset by 3.5 m from the centreline.

The rollout covered a total distance of 451 m, representing 17 % of the 2,614 m runway, and the runway rollout alignment was noted as very good.

To refine future performances, aim to achieve the exact target threshold speed rather than a slightly low value, and adjust the final flare to bring the touchdown point within a tighter centreline tolerance.
