Touched down at -63 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 2.30 m off the centreline, no bounce
Flare on profile — 91 %

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold height at 84 ft agl was significantly above target at 37 %, Threshold speed was too high at 76 kt at 59 %, −3.17 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 968 m at 0 %, −1.67 points
Arrival Approach — 500 ft gate 86 %, −1.59 points

Next time

Arrival

Take the power back earlier on final, so the aircraft settles onto the path and the speed comes back to 61 kt together. Do not push down for the height: that only adds speed.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 84 ft agl, 34 ft agl above the 50 ft agl target, and at 76 kt, 15 kt over the 61 kt threshold speed. High and fast together is energy the runway has to absorb, and this touchdown came 511 m beyond the aim point.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 61 kt on short final, then 50 ft agl over the threshold

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Flight narrative

Departing from Cibao International Airport, the Cessna 152 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 29, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 65 kt in a distance of 418 m, which accounted for 16% of the runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it maintained a steady pace, completing the downwind turn in a distance of 1 nm and aligning itself for the base leg turn. The base leg turn was executed at an angle of 31.3° to the runway, followed by a short base leg of less than 1 nm. The final turn was completed in under 1 nm, positioning the aircraft for a final approach to runway 29 from the east. The aircraft maintained a heading of 283.0° at an altitude of 633 ft above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nm from the runway threshold.

The aircraft touched down on the runway 530 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 35 kt and a rate of descent of -46 fpm, indicating a perfect touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 9 nm, covering a distance of 6 nm in 6 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 1 kg of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 29 at MDST Cibao International Airport from the east was initiated with a heading of 283.0° at 1 nm and 633 ft above ground level. The aircraft's approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 102 ft above ground level, which was excessively over the target. This deviation from the ideal approach path may have been due to factors such as air traffic control instructions or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher altitude.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown speed of 35 kt was within the acceptable range, indicating a good control of the aircraft's descent. The touchdown rate of -46 fpm was also perfect, demonstrating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway. However, the touchdown point was 530 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slightly long touchdown.

The rollout phase was uneventful, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment. The threshold speed of 76 kt was excessively high, indicating a possible delay in the application of the brakes. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 68.8%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
