Flight Score
Departure
Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 61 kt, then rotate.
What happened: You started the rotation at 43 kt, 18 kt before the 61 kt rotation speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 61 kt at rotation
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Apply small, early rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline from touchdown onward.
What happened: The aircraft drifted 7.1 m off the centreline during the landing roll, and by touchdown the offset had grown to 7.3 m. A centreline deviation that appears on landing usually carries through to a larger offset at touchdown.
Watch for: Centreline marker: aircraft tracking straight over the runway centreline, not drifting to either side.
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 500 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 500 ft gate: centreline 4.3° 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 233 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 53 kt within a distance of 320 m, which accounted for 12% of the available runway length. The aircraft then climbed away from the airport, navigating through a local weather environment characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt from 270°.
As the aircraft entered the traffic pattern, it proceeded to the left, executing a smooth pattern entry from runway 11. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in a distance of less than 1 nm in 21 seconds, demonstrating the pilot's proficiency in handling crosswind conditions. The aircraft then transitioned through the pattern, completing a downwind turn with an angle to the runway of 41.1° and a base leg turn with an angle of 39.0°. The final approach was initiated from the west, with the aircraft descending to a height of 375 ft above ground level (agl) at a distance of 1 nm from the runway threshold.
The Cessna 152 landed safely on runway 11, with a touchdown distance of 226 m and a touchdown speed of 50 kt, which was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 61 kt. The touchdown rate was an impressive -90 fpm, indicating a well-executed landing. However, the aircraft touched down 8.3 m off the centreline, which may require attention from the pilot to improve alignment. The flight concluded with a total distance of 11 nm, covering a distance of 7 nm and consuming 2 kg of fuel.
The aircraft, a Cessna 152, commenced its final approach to runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport from the west, aligning with the runway at a heading of 105.0° at 1 nm and 375 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 61 kt, indicating a well-executed approach. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a distance of 226 m, which was within acceptable limits.
However, the touchdown speed of 50 kt was slightly higher than the recommended value, resulting in a touchdown rate of -90 fpm, which was still considered excellent. The runway touchdown position was not perfectly aligned with the centreline, deviating by 8.3 m. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle tailwind of 1 kt, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.
The aircraft's performance during the rollout phase was satisfactory, with the pilot maintaining control and aligning the aircraft with the centreline as much as possible. The landing was considered a success, with a final score of 99.0%. The minor deviation from the centreline and the slightly high touchdown speed were the only notable areas for improvement. Overall, the landing was executed professionally, and the aircraft came to a stop safely on the runway.
