Flight Score
Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 64 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 89 kt, 25 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 64 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Add power on short final to hold 61 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 54 kt against a target of 61 kt, below reference speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 61 kt down to the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
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: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set, wings 29° of bank, against a 10° limit and speed 46 kt FAST on the reference speed of 61 kt.
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 418 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from Cibao International Airport was smooth, with the Cessna 152 taking to the skies from runway 11. The aircraft accelerated down the 2,606-meter runway, covering 1,547 meters before lifting off at a speed of 89 knots. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle tailwind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it quickly gained altitude, rising from 1,538 feet above sea level to 1,645 feet in less than a minute. The enroute climb phase was brief, lasting only a short distance before the aircraft leveled off and entered a cruise phase. This phase lasted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 2 nautical miles. The descent phase began 1 mile south east of Licey al Medio, with the aircraft losing 489 feet in altitude over a distance of 5 nautical miles in 3 minutes.
The final approach to runway 11 was executed from the west, with the aircraft descending from 1,793 feet above sea level to 1,304 feet. The touchdown was smooth, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 35 knots and a distance of 413 meters. The touchdown rate was an impressive -57 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 11 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the 7-minute flight.
The final approach to runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport from the west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 101.0° at 1 nm and 732 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 54 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 413 m, and the touchdown speed of 35 kt was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -57 fpm was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. 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 overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 92.9%. The slight deviation in threshold speed was the only notable deviation from the ideal approach and landing parameters. Nevertheless, the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled execution of the landing, resulting in a safe and efficient touchdown on runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport.
