Departing from Cibao International Airport, the Cessna Skyhawk began its takeoff roll on runway 11, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 80 kt in 809 meters, which accounted for 31% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle tailwind of 1 kt from 270°. As the aircraft lifted off, it entered a left-hand traffic pattern, navigating the initial turn in 11 seconds and covering a distance of 1 nm.

The subsequent pattern turns and legs were executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a steady pace and adhering to the standard traffic pattern configuration. The downwind turn, for instance, was completed in 1 nm, with an angle to the runway of 47.7°, while the base leg turn was accomplished in 1 nm, with an angle of 33.0°. The final approach was initiated from the west, with the aircraft descending to 217 ft above ground level (agl) at a heading of 103.0°. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown distance of 180 m and a speed of 59 kt, although slightly above the target. The touchdown rate was a respectable -110 fpm, and the runway alignment was perfect.

The flight concluded with a total distance of 8 nm, covering the route in 4 minutes and consuming 2 kg of fuel. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, considering the favorable weather conditions and the pilot's skillful execution of the traffic pattern. The landing, in particular, was a testament to the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude, resulting in a smooth and controlled touchdown.
