Departing from Cibao International Airport, the Cessna Skyhawk began its takeoff roll on runway 11, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 74 kt in 1,091 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off into a calm atmosphere, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle tailwind of 1 kt from the west. The pilot then initiated a left-hand pattern entry, navigating the aircraft through a 1-nautical-mile turn in 26 seconds.

As the aircraft continued its pattern, it encountered a slight headwind component, but the pilot expertly managed the aircraft, completing the downwind turn at an angle of 55.0° to the runway and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The downwind leg itself spanned 4 nautical miles, taking 116 seconds to complete. The pilot then initiated the base leg turn, reducing the angle to the runway to 32.5°, before aligning the aircraft for the final approach. The aircraft touched down on runway 11, a 2,606-meter-long surface, at a speed of 42 kt, with a touchdown distance of 378 meters, which accounted for 20% of the runway's length. The touchdown rate was a respectable -175 feet per minute.

The pilot's skillful handling of the aircraft resulted in a very good runway rollout alignment, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The total landing distance was 509 meters, and the aircraft used 4 kilograms of fuel for the entire 11-nautical-mile flight, which took approximately 6 minutes to complete. The pilot's attention to detail and expertise in managing the aircraft's performance in various conditions ensured a safe and efficient landing at Cibao International Airport.

Landing Summary

The approach to runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport from the west was executed with good quality, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 102.0° at 1 nm and 668 ft above ground level. The pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway, and the threshold height was well managed, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase. The threshold speed of 61 kt was also well maintained, indicating a high level of control and precision.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 378 m was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 42 kt was also well within the desired range. The touchdown rate of -175 fpm was good, indicating a controlled descent and minimal impact on the aircraft's structure. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 m from the centreline, which may require attention in future approaches. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.

The total landing distance of 509 m, which accounted for 20% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high level of control and precision during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of skill and precision, resulting in a score of 92.8%.
