Departure
Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 1.7°.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level
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.
At the 300 ft gate: off the runway's 2.8° glideslope.

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.
Touched down 733 m past the threshold — beyond 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 71 kt in a distance of 855 m, which accounted for 33% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component. As the aircraft lifted off, it transitioned into a left-hand pattern entry, navigating the circuit in a distance of less than 1 nm in 63 seconds.
Throughout the pattern, the pilot maintained a smooth and controlled flight profile, with notable performance figures including a downwind turn distance of 1 nm at an angle of 51.1° to the runway, and a base leg turn distance of 1 nm at an angle of 19.3°. The final approach was initiated from the west, with a heading of 102.0° at 1 nm and an altitude of 698 ft above ground level. The landing was executed on runway 11, which had a length of 2,606 m, with a touchdown point located 290 m beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 46 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -83 fpm was excellent.
The flight concluded with a total distance of 7 nm, achieved in 5 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 2 kg. The landing was characterized by a perfect runway touchdown alignment, and the local weather conditions remained consistent throughout the flight, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt from 270°. Overall, the flight demonstrated a high level of proficiency and control, with the pilot successfully navigating the circuit and executing a smooth landing.
The aircraft touched down on runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport, a 2,606-meter long runway, after a final approach from the west. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 80 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the standard approach procedure. The aircraft maintained a steady heading of 102.0° at 1 nm and 698 ft above ground level (agl) during the approach.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft displayed good characteristics, with a touchdown speed of 46 kt and an excellent touchdown rate of -83 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The touchdown point was 290 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a relatively calm landing environment, with a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind of 1 kt.
The overall performance of the aircraft during the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 87.7%. The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach and touchdown phases, but could benefit from improving the threshold speed to meet standard approach procedures.
