Next time

Departure

Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 64 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.

What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 75 kt, 11 kt above the target liftoff speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 64 kt at liftoff

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Make one smooth, continuous back-pressure input through the flare, holding that pressure once the sink is arrested instead of re-pumping the elevator.

What happened: The flare was pumped, with the pitch reversing direction several times as the sink was arrested at 11 ft and then 145 fpm of sink came back; a flare flown this way usually ends in a bounce at touchdown.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a steady, continuous reduction of sink through the flare with no reversals.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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

Cibao International Airport in Santiago, Dominican Republic, served as the departure point for this Cessna 152 flight. As the aircraft lifted off, it began its enroute climb, transitioning from an initial altitude of 569 feet above sea level to a slight increase of 1 foot, reaching 570 feet asl in under a minute while covering less than 1 nautical mile. This initial climb phase set the stage for the remainder of the flight.

Upon approaching the destination, the pilot successfully executed a touchdown before the threshold, achieving a perfect touchdown rate of -14 feet per minute. However, the touchdown speed of 67 knots was slightly above the recommended threshold, indicating a need for adjustment in the approach configuration. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle tailwind of 1 knot, contributed to a smooth landing. The total landing distance of 17,054 meters, equivalent to 654% of the runway length, highlighted the effectiveness of the pilot's touchdown strategy.

The post-landing phase revealed a notable deviation in the runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft straying 2,174.7 meters from the centerline. This discrepancy may be attributed to factors such as wind shear or pilot error. The total flight distance of 9 nautical miles, completed in 7 minutes, and the fuel consumption of 1 kilogram, underscored the efficiency of the flight.

Landing Summary

The approach to Runway 27 was initiated with a steady descent, but unfortunately, the quality of the approach was marred by a slight deviation from the ideal glide slope. The aircraft touched down before the threshold, resulting in a landing distance of 17,054 meters, which is 654% of the runway length. The touchdown speed of 67 knots was significantly higher than the recommended value, indicating a loss of control during the final stages of the approach.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a perfect touchdown rate of -14 feet per minute, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision. However, the touchdown characteristics were compromised by the excessive speed, which may have contributed to the aircraft's tendency to veer off the centreline. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, but the subsequent rollout phase was marked by a significant deviation from the centreline, with the aircraft straying 2,174.7 meters from the intended path.

The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle tailwind of 1 knot, were conducive to a smooth and controlled approach. However, the pilot's inability to maintain a steady descent and control the touchdown speed resulted in a subpar landing performance, with a score of 39.4%. Overall, the landing was characterized by a combination of factors, including a poor approach quality, excessive touchdown speed, and a significant deviation from the centreline during the rollout phase.
