Threshold crossed at 22 ft and 53 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Departure Roll — Liftoff speed was 78 kt at 65 %, Runway alignment max 11.09 m left at 71 %, −1.43 points
Departure Climb 2 — scored 90.00 %, −1.11 points

Next time

Departure

Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 62 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.

What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 78 kt, 16 kt above the target liftoff speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 62 kt at liftoff

See Departure Roll

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Flight narrative

Departing Cibao International Airport, the Cessna Skyhawk began its takeoff roll on runway 11, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 78 kt in 995 meters, which accounted for 38% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °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 73 seconds and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The subsequent turns and legs of the pattern were executed with precision, with the downwind turn requiring 2 nautical miles and the base leg turn necessitating a 40.8° angle to the runway. The final approach was initiated from the west, with the aircraft descending at a heading of 103.0° and an altitude of 317 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with a touchdown speed of 39 kt and a touchdown rate of -199 fpm. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 9.2 meters.

The total landing distance of 401 meters, which accounted for 15% of the available runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 9.1 meters. The flight, which covered a total distance of 8 nautical miles, consumed 3 kg of fuel and lasted approximately 6 minutes. The favorable weather conditions and the pilot's skillful execution of the flight contributed to a successful and efficient operation.

Landing Score 95.25 %
Landing Summary

The Cessna Skyhawk touched down on runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition into the landing phase. The aircraft's approach quality was satisfactory, with a heading of 103.0° at 1 nm and 317 ft above ground level. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 53 kt, but still within acceptable limits.

As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 213 m, and the touchdown speed of 39 kt was also within the desired range. The touchdown rate of -199 fpm was well within the acceptable limits, indicating a controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 9.2 m, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the landing phase.

The aircraft's rollout was satisfactory, with a total landing distance of 401 m, which accounted for 15% of the runway length. Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 9.1 m, the overall performance was still good, earning the Cessna Skyhawk a score of 95.2%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt at 270°, did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.
