What went well

Touchdown 122 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 0.48 m off the centreline, no bounce
Flare on profile — 98 %

What held you back

Arrival Approach — 300 ft gate 57 %, −4.76 points
Departure Climb 3 — climb speed 96 kt against 69 kt at 31 %, −2.30 points
Arrival Landing — Threshold speed at 38 kt was well below target, take care not to stall at 31 %, −1.99 points

Next time

Departure

Rotate as soon as the aircraft reaches 56 kt rather than letting speed build further.

What happened: You rotated late, lifting off at 82 kt against a 56 kt target, and the climb speed carried fast at 96 kt. A late rotation like this usually leaves the climb speed running fast behind it.

Watch for: Watch airspeed against the 56 kt rotation target.

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 3

Arrival

Add power sooner on final to hold 61 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just at the threshold.

What happened: The approach was slow at the stabilisation gate, and the aircraft carried that deficit all the way to the threshold, still 23 kt below VREF; arriving that slow usually leaves little energy to cushion the flare, as it did here with a touchdown rate of 156 fpm.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 61 kt at the threshold

See Arrival ApproachArrival 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 from Cibao International Airport, the Cessna 152 began its takeoff roll on runway 11, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 82 kt in 1,022 meters, which was 39% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off into a calm local weather environment, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle tailwind of 1 kt.

As the aircraft climbed east of the airport, it quickly gained altitude, rising from 1,029 ft to 1,394 ft in less than 1 minute and covering less than 1 nautical mile. The climb was followed by a series of enroute descents and climbs, with the aircraft reaching a maximum altitude of 4,732 ft during a climb from 796 ft to 4,732 ft in 5 minutes and covering 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then leveled off for a 3-minute cruise at 4,732 ft, before beginning a descent to 2,040 ft in 3 minutes and covering 7 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 08 at Gregorio Luperon International Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft touching down smoothly at a speed of 29 kt and a touchdown distance of 120 meters.

The landing was characterized by a smooth touchdown rate of -112 fpm and perfect runway alignment. The total flight distance was 30 nautical miles, taking 19 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 5 kg of fuel during the flight. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle tailwind of 1 kt. The flight was completed without incident, with the aircraft performing well within its performance capabilities.
