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, ascending from an initial altitude of 568 feet above sea level to 1,649 feet, a gain of 1,081 feet in just 2 minutes. This rapid ascent allowed the aircraft to reach a cruising altitude, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles in the process.
Once level cruise was established, the aircraft maintained a steady heading, flying 1 mile east of the airport before continuing on its predetermined course. This phase of the flight lasted for 3 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. As the aircraft approached the final approach phase, it began its descent from a height of 1,649 feet above ground level, heading towards runway 11 from the west at a bearing of 95.0 degrees. The aircraft maintained a safe distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold, with a good threshold height and a slightly below-target threshold speed of 51 knots.
The landing was executed smoothly, with a touchdown distance of 293 meters and a touchdown speed of 36 knots, both of which were within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -79 feet per minute was particularly impressive, indicating a well-controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.4 meters. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a light wind of 1 knot from 270 degrees, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. The flight, which covered a total distance of 8 nautical miles, consumed 1 kilogram of fuel and lasted for 6 minutes.

The aircraft touched down on runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the touchdown phase. The threshold speed of 51 kt was slightly below the target, but still within acceptable limits. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, resulting in a touchdown distance of 293 m, which was well within the expected range for a Cessna 152.
The touchdown speed of 36 kt was good, indicating a controlled and stable approach. The touchdown rate of -79 fpm was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of precision and control. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 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.
The aircraft's performance during the rollout phase was satisfactory, with the pilot maintaining control and aligning the aircraft with the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt at 270 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. Overall, the landing was considered a success, with a score of 99.2% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot.
