Next time

Departure

Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 62 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.

What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 75 kt, 13 kt above the target liftoff speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 62 kt at liftoff

See Departure Roll

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.

Flight narrative

Departing from Cibao International Airport, the Cessna Skyhawk began its takeoff roll on runway 29, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 75 kt in 941 meters, which was 36% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off into a calm local weather environment, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt from 270°. The pilot then initiated a left-hand pattern entry, navigating the aircraft through a 2-nautical-mile turn in 17 seconds.

As the aircraft continued its pattern, it encountered a crosswind of 0 kt, allowing for a smooth transition into the downwind leg. The pilot executed a 45-degree turn, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles, before proceeding to the base leg. The base leg turn, also at 45 degrees, was completed in 2 nautical miles, positioning the aircraft for a final approach to runway 29. The pilot then initiated the final turn, bringing the aircraft onto a heading of 282.0°, 1 nautical mile from the threshold and at an altitude of 722 feet above ground level.

The Cessna Skyhawk touched down on runway 29, with a touchdown distance of 163 meters and a speed of 47 kt. The touchdown rate was an excellent -64 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline, the pilot's performance was otherwise good, with a threshold speed of 57 kt and a touchdown speed that was within acceptable limits. The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles in 6 minutes, and the aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 29 at MDST Cibao International Airport from the east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 282.0° at 1 nm and 722 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 57 kt, well within the acceptable range. The aircraft touched down smoothly, with a touchdown speed of 47 kt and a touchdown distance of 163 m, both of which were within the desired parameters.

The touchdown characteristics were notable for their excellence, with a touchdown rate of -64 fpm, indicating a controlled and stable descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating by 4.9 m from the centreline. 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 wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing.

The rollout phase was executed smoothly, with the aircraft maintaining control and stability as it decelerated to a stop. The overall score for the landing was 96.7%, reflecting the high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. The landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, and the aircraft's performance was consistent with its capabilities.
