Next time

Arrival

Add power on final to hold 61 kt across the threshold.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 47 kt, 14 kt below VREF, and low energy like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown at 156 fpm.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 61 kt at the threshold

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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 Cibao International Airport, the Cessna 152 began its takeoff roll on runway 29, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 65 kt in 763 meters, which represented 29% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off into a calm local weather environment, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt from 270°. Following a left-hand pattern entry, the aircraft navigated the circuit, executing a series of precise turns and legs. The downwind turn, for instance, was completed in 1 nm, with an angle to the runway of 51.3°, while the base leg turn required 2 nm, with an angle of 39.8°.

As the aircraft approached the final approach phase, it maintained a heading of 284.0°, descending from 550 ft above ground level (agl) to a good threshold height. The landing was executed at a threshold speed slightly below the target of 49 kt, resulting in a touchdown distance of 95 m, which was well within the available runway length of 2,606 m. The touchdown speed of 42 kt was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -130 fpm was smooth. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the aircraft's rollout alignment was equally impressive, with a total landing distance of 277 m, representing just 11% of the runway length.

The flight, which covered a total distance of 9 nm, was completed in 5 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2 kg. The aircraft's performance was consistent with the expected characteristics of a Cessna 152, and the pilot's skills were evident in the precision and control demonstrated throughout the flight. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a smooth and uneventful flight.
