Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 6 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Adjust heading with coordinated aileron and rudder to bring the crosswind track back toward 8° of runway heading.
What happened: On the crosswind leg the heading drifted to 8° from the runway track.
Watch for: Heading indicator against the runway track, holding within the target heading band.
Each lap slightly wider and higher than the last, because you're unconsciously using the previous lap as your reference instead of the runway and the numbers. Invisible lap to lap, unmistakable across ten. This is the failure that only measurement catches, because your memory of lap three is gone by lap eight.

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.
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 357 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 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 11, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 66 kt in a distance of 865 m, which accounted for 33% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by 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 maintained a steady pace, completing the first turn in 35 seconds and covering a distance of 1 nm. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed efficiently, requiring less than 1 nm in 21 seconds. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, which spanned 2 nm and involved a 45-degree angle to the runway, followed by a 4-nm downwind leg that lasted 134 seconds. The base leg turn, also at a 45-degree angle, covered 2 nm before the aircraft began its final approach to runway 11 from the west. The aircraft maintained a heading of 108.0° at 1 nm and 448 ft above ground level.
The Cessna 152 landed smoothly on runway 11, with a touchdown speed of 34 kt and a touchdown rate of -52 fpm, which was considered excellent. The touchdown distance of 351 m was within acceptable limits, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 493 m accounted for only 19% of the available runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The aircraft used a total of 1 kg of fuel for the 11-nm flight, which lasted approximately 7 minutes.
The Cessna 152 touched down smoothly on runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport, showcasing exceptional approach quality. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 448 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold, aligning itself with the runway centerline at a heading of 108.0 degrees. The approach was characterized by a stable and controlled descent, culminating in a good threshold height.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft displayed a satisfactory threshold speed of 56 knots, with a corresponding touchdown distance of 351 meters. The touchdown speed of 34 knots was also within acceptable limits, while the touchdown rate of -52 feet per minute (fpm) was outstanding, indicating a gentle and controlled impact with the runway surface. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline position throughout the landing sequence.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment with the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 493 meters, accounting for 19% of the runway length, was well within acceptable limits. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a negligible wind component, contributed to a stable and predictable landing environment. Overall, the landing was scored at 99.8%, reflecting the high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
