Departure Roll — Liftoff speed was 83 kt at 44 %, −1.24 points

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 83 kt, 21 kt above the target liftoff speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 62 kt at liftoff

See Departure Roll

Bank angle in the pattern is conventionally kept to 20 to 30 degrees, and the base-to-final turn is where that convention earns its keep. Stall speed rises with bank because the wing must produce more lift in a turn. Roughly 7 per cent higher at 30 degrees, about 19 per cent at 45, and around 40 per cent at 60. At 65 kt on base you don't have much margin to spend steepening a turn to salvage an overshoot.

Flight narrative

Departing from Cibao International Airport, the Cessna Skyhawk began its takeoff roll on runway 11, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 83 kt in a distance of 1,293 m, which was 50% 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 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it maintained a steady pace, completing the downwind turn in a distance of 2 nm and an angle of 45 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 4 nm in 176 seconds, allowing the pilot to assess the wind conditions and adjust the approach accordingly. The base leg turn was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining an angle of 45 degrees to the runway. The final approach was initiated from the west, with the aircraft descending at a rate of 651 ft agl over a distance of 1 nm.

The Cessna Skyhawk touched down on runway 11 with a touchdown speed of 51 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 286 m was also satisfactory, although the touchdown rate of -212 fpm was slightly higher than desired. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 11.6 m. The total flight distance of 11 nm was completed in 6 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2 kg. The pilot's handling of the aircraft was characterized by a smooth and controlled approach, despite the minor deviations from the ideal touchdown conditions.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a stable approach. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 64 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach speed. The pilot maintained control and successfully landed the aircraft, achieving a touchdown distance of 286 m, which was within acceptable limits.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 51 kt, which was good, and the touchdown rate was fair at -212 fpm. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 11.6 m, which may have been due to the slight crosswind component of 1 kt. Despite this, the pilot managed to maintain control and bring the aircraft to a stop safely.

The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 96.9%. The approach quality was good, and the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a light wind of 1 kt at 269 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
