Arrival
Add power to hold 61 kt over the threshold so you arrive with enough energy to let the aircraft settle smoothly onto the runway.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 53 kt, 8 kt below the 61 kt target, then the sink was arrested at 12 ft and held there instead of continuing down. Holding off high like this usually leaves the touchdown to chance, and firm touchdowns often follow.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 61 kt at the threshold
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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: centreline 3.4° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,614 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 249 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Cibao International Airport, the Cessna 152 began its takeoff roll on runway 11, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 55 kt in a distance of 334 m, which accounted for 13% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °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 smooth and efficient turn, completing the pattern in a distance of 1 nm in 13 seconds. The subsequent downwind turn and base leg were executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading and altitude. The final approach to runway 11 was initiated from the west, with the aircraft descending to 278 ft above ground level (agl) at a distance of 1 nm from the threshold. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 38 kt and a touchdown distance of 242 m, which was 15% of the available runway length.
The post-landing rollout was characterized by excellent alignment, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The total landing distance was 391 m, and the aircraft used a minimal amount of fuel, consuming 1 kg for the entire flight. The total flight distance was 7 nm, which was completed in 5 minutes. Overall, the flight demonstrated a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures, with the pilot executing a smooth and efficient takeoff, landing, and pattern.
The Cessna 152 touched down on runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport with a score of 96.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 100.0° at 1 nm and 278 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height allowing for a controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 53 kt, indicating a slight delay in the touchdown process.
The aircraft touched down at a speed of 38 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 242 m was good, and the touchdown rate of -152 fpm was also satisfactory. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.7 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, were relatively calm, with no significant crosswind or tailwind affecting the landing.
The total landing distance of 391 m was 15% of the runway length, indicating a controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
