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 83 kt, 21 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 62 kt at liftoff

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.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,606 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 80 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Cibao International Airport, the Cessna Skyhawk began its takeoff roll on runway 11, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 83 kt in a distance of 698 m, which accounted for 27% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °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 a high degree of maneuverability, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 36 seconds. The subsequent crosswind correction was executed smoothly, taking only 20 seconds to complete. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, which covered a distance of 1 nm at an angle of 45.9° to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 3 nm long, lasting 123 seconds. Following the base leg turn, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 11, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 104.0° and an altitude of 535 ft above ground level.
The final approach and landing were executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a distance of 78 m and a speed of 40 kt. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -120 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 8 nm, covering a distance of 6 nm in 6 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 2 kg of fuel during the flight.
The final approach to runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport from the west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 104.0° at 1 nm and 535 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed of 45 kt was slightly below the target, necessitating caution to avoid stalling the aircraft.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 78 m was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 40 kt was well within the desired range. The touchdown rate of -120 fpm was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. 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.
The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 93.3%. The aircraft's ability to maintain a smooth touchdown rate and centerline alignment was commendable, despite the slightly low threshold speed. The pilot's skill and attention to detail were evident throughout the approach and landing phases, resulting in a safe and controlled touchdown on runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport.
