The Cessna Skyhawk departed from runway 11 at Cibao International Airport, executing a smooth departure roll. The aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 73 kt, utilizing 630 m of the available runway, which equated to 24% of the total length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated agility and responsiveness, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 12 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed with precision, taking 18 seconds to complete the maneuver. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, which covered a distance of 1 nm and involved a 45-degree angle to the runway, with a heading of 84.1°. The downwind leg itself spanned 3 nm in 88 seconds, allowing the pilot to assess the wind conditions and adjust the approach as necessary. The base leg turn, which covered 2 nm and involved a 45-degree angle to the runway, was followed by a short base leg of less than 1 nm in 30 seconds. The final turn was completed in just 2 seconds, setting the aircraft up for a smooth final approach.

The Cessna Skyhawk touched down on runway 11 at Cibao International Airport, utilizing 208 m of the available runway and achieving a touchdown speed of 49 kt. The touchdown rate was an impressive -86 fpm, indicating a well-executed landing. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 m from the centreline, the overall performance of the aircraft was satisfactory. The total flight distance was 8 nm, and the flight utilized 2 kg of fuel, with a total flight time of 5 minutes.

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 excellent, with a steady descent rate and a threshold speed of 60 kt, which was well within the recommended range. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown speed of 49 kt was good, and the touchdown rate of -86 fpm was exceptional, indicating a very controlled and stable landing.

The touchdown distance of 208 m was good, considering the runway length of 2,606 m, and the aircraft's ability to stop within a reasonable distance. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control. Despite this, the overall landing was very good, with a high degree of precision and control.

The local weather conditions were favourable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 1 kt. These conditions contributed to a stable and predictable approach, allowing the pilot to maintain a high level of control throughout the landing. Overall, the landing was scored at 98.9%, reflecting the high level of precision and control demonstrated by the pilot.
