Next time

Departure

Hold the nose until reaching 56 kt before rotating.

What happened: Rotation began at 40 kt, 16 kt before the 56 kt target.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator approaching 56 kt.

See Departure Roll

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The Cessna 152 departed MDPC Punta Cana International Airport on runway 27, applying a take-off roll of 206 m which represented 7 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 41 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a headwind component of 1 kt and no cross-wind.

During the climb the aircraft remained overhead MDPC, ascending from 1,041 ft asl to 1,603 ft asl - a gain of 562 ft - in 1 minute while covering 1 nm.

Level cruise commenced approximately 1 mile southeast of Punta Cana and was maintained for 3 minutes, during which 5 nm were traversed.

The final approach to runway 27 was executed from the east, with a heading of 267.0° at 1 nm and 444 ft agl. Weather remained unchanged at 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 270°, headwind 1 kt and cross-wind 0 kt.

Touchdown occurred on runway 27, whose length is 3,096 m. The aircraft crossed the threshold at 43 kt, well below the target speed, and landed with a touchdown distance of 139 m, a speed of 33 kt and a descent rate of minus 89 fpm. Alignment on touchdown was reported as very good.

Landing Summary

The Cessna 152 approached runway 27 at MDPC Punta Cana International Airport on a heading of 267.0° from the east, intercepting the final approach at 1 nm and 444 ft agl. Local weather was 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, giving a headwind component of 1 kt and no cross-wind.

At threshold the aircraft displayed a good threshold height. The threshold speed was recorded at 43 kt, which was well below the target and required attention to avoid a stall.

Touchdown occurred 139 m down the runway at a speed of 33 kt, both described as good. The vertical touchdown rate was excellent at minus 89 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was very good.

Increase the final-approach speed to meet the target speed, preserving an adequate safety margin above stall. Continue to preserve the strong alignment and touchdown parameters already demonstrated.
