Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 0.9° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 2.2° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it 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 rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 27 at Tobías Bolaños International Airport, where the Cessna Skyhawk took off with a takeoff distance of 837 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 70 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 130 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 7 knots and a tailwind of 10 knots.
As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb from 1 mile north of Santa Ana, Provincia de San Jose, Costa Rica, where it ascended from 4,144 feet above sea level to 4,856 feet above sea level, an increase of 712 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise that followed lasted for 3 minutes and covered another 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another enroute climb from 2 miles southwest of Juan Santamaría International Airport, San José, Provincia de Alajuela, Costa Rica, where it climbed from 5,727 feet above sea level to 8,995 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,268 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise that followed lasted for 3 minutes and covered 5 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent from 1 mile west of Desamparados, Provincia de Alajuela, Costa Rica, where it descended from 9,891 feet above sea level to 4,404 feet above sea level, a decrease of 5,486 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise that followed lasted for 2 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 07 at Juan Santamaría International Airport was made from the southwest, heading 67.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,052 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 07 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 356 meters, which was 44% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was 44 knots, and the touchdown rate was -183 feet per minute, both of which were considered good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 240 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 11 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,098 meters, which was 44% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. Taxiing to the parking from the runway took 6 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 42 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 33 minutes, during which the aircraft used 15 kilograms of fuel.
The Cessna Skyhawk successfully landed at MROC Juan Santamaría International Airport, achieving a score of 97.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 67.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,052 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the final approach, setting up for a smooth touchdown on runway 07.
The runway at MROC Juan Santamaría International Airport is 2,519 meters long, providing ample space for the Cessna Skyhawk to land safely. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 62 knots was also well within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed effectively.
Upon touchdown, the Cessna Skyhawk performed well, with a touchdown distance of 356 meters and a speed of 44 knots. The touchdown rate of -183 feet per minute (fpm) was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's excellent spatial awareness and control.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 11 knots from 240°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the tailwind component was 11 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and execute a safe and successful landing.
The total landing distance of 1,098 meters was 44% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk's landing at MROC Juan Santamaría International Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The aircraft's performance was well within the acceptable range, and the pilot's ability to adapt to the local weather conditions was impressive.
