Next time

Departure

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

What happened: The aircraft tracked 14 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and flights with this pattern usually carry extra bank, around 2°, into the first climb.

Watch for: Heading indicator: wings level, tracking the runway centreline

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1

Bank angle in the pattern is conventionally kept to 20 to 30 degrees, and the base-to-final turn is where that convention earns its keep. Stall speed rises with bank because the wing must produce more lift in a turn. Roughly 7 per cent higher at 30 degrees, about 19 per cent at 45, and around 40 per cent at 60. At 65 kt on base you don't have much margin to spend steepening a turn to salvage an overshoot.

Flight narrative

Departing from Cibao International Airport, the Cessna Skyhawk began its takeoff roll on runway 11, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 75 kt within 625 meters, which accounted for 24% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off into a calm atmosphere, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle tailwind of 1 kt from 270°. The pilot then initiated a left-hand pattern entry, navigating the aircraft through a 1-nautical-mile turn in 14 seconds.

As the aircraft entered the downwind leg, it maintained a steady heading, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles in 109 seconds. The pilot then executed a base leg turn, aligning the aircraft with the runway at an angle of 29.7°. The final approach was initiated, with the aircraft descending from 354 feet above ground level (agl) at a heading of 100.0°. The pilot successfully landed the aircraft on runway 11, with a touchdown distance of 452 meters and a speed of 51 kt. The touchdown rate was smooth at -126 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The flight concluded with a total distance of 9 nautical miles, covering the entire route in 5 minutes. The aircraft consumed 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight, demonstrating efficient performance under the given conditions. The pilot's skillful handling of the aircraft ensured a safe and successful landing, despite a slightly high threshold speed of 76 kt. The favorable weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle tailwind, contributed to the smooth execution of the flight.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down smoothly on runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The approach quality was good, with a steady descent rate of -126 fpm, indicating a well-controlled and stable flight path. The touchdown speed of 51 kt was within the recommended range, and the touchdown distance of 452 m was also satisfactory, given the runway length of 2,606 m.

The threshold speed, however, was slightly higher than desired at 76 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's approach configuration or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for landing. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a light wind of 1 kt at 270 °, were favorable for landing.

Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 94.9%. The pilot's ability to maintain a smooth touchdown rate and good runway alignment was commendable, despite the slightly high threshold speed. The aircraft's performance was consistent with its capabilities, and the landing was completed safely and efficiently.
