Next time

Departure

Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 55 kt, then rotate.

What happened: You started the rotation at 39 kt, 16 kt before the 55 kt rotation speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 55 kt at rotation

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Carry more power on final so you cross the threshold at 53 kt instead of letting speed decay below it.

What happened: This flight crossed the threshold at 47 kt, 6 kt below 53 kt, and the flare that followed was pumped rather than held; arriving slow and then chasing the flare with repeated pitch reversals usually rolls into a firmer touchdown than a single smooth input would.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 53 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

You crossed the threshold slow. Without the speed there is little energy left to round out with, so the flare comes up short and the touchdown tends to be firm - and that feels exactly like flaring too late. Resist the fix that feels natural, flaring earlier: it bleeds off more speed and makes the next landing firmer still. Fly the approach speed all the way to the threshold, and the flare has something to work with.

Speed and pitch

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.

Rotated at 39 kt, 16 kt below the 55 kt target, and lifted off at 41 kt 0.7 s later, the nose coming up at 6.5° a second.

How to read this

Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The dashed green line is the speed to rotate at for this aircraft at its weight, and the green dot is where the nose started to come up. The figures at liftoff are the pitch then and how fast the nose came up, in degrees a second.

How to read this

The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length.

The circuit to MDST 11

Left-hand, 1,000 ft circuit height. The plan shows your circuit over a textbook one for this runway; the profile unrolls the same path from liftoff to the threshold.

Plan landing direction to the left; in pale blue the textbook circuit for your downwind speed, 1 nm out at 102 kt

How to read this

The lap from above, with the landing direction to the left: the opposite of the runway drawings. The wide pale-blue line is a textbook circuit for your downwind speed - the downwind a mile out for every 100 kt, every turn at 30° of bank - and your track is drawn over it, each leg in the colour of its mark. The numbers are the four turns, the same as on the profile and the cards below. The 45° line from the threshold is the usual point to turn onto base.

How to read this

The same lap straightened out, so the height and the bank can be read together. Each shaded stretch is a turn, numbered as on the plan. The green box is circuit height, 1,000 ft, on the downwind. The amber line is 30° of bank, and a turn's steepest bank shows red above 32°. "Turn crosswind from" is the lowest height to start the first turn at.

Spacing cues are relative to your eyepoint, so two simmers with different FOV settings following the same wingtip cue fly patterns half a mile different in width, and a wide FOV compresses depth so the runway on base looks further away than it is, biasing you towards a late turn. Pick a camera position and FOV, save it, and never change it, because every judgement you calibrate is calibrated to that picture.

The approach to MDST 11

The final from 4 nm.

Profile height against the 2.8° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

High from 1.7 nm, where the final began, to 1.4 nm (up to 530 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.

How to read this

Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 2.8° here, which is about 300 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber.

Joined 322 m left of the centreline at 1.7 nm, then inside the band from 1.4 nm to the threshold.

How to read this

Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 27 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 16 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 1.7 nm, where the final began, to 1.1 nm (up to +26 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

How to read this

Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down.

The flare79.94

The flare wandered off the target profile. The flare was pumped rather than held: pitch changed direction 3 times on the way down. Touchdown was 231 m past the threshold. One smooth continuous input - chasing the runway with the elevator makes the next correction bigger, not smaller.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 1° left of the track, wings level.

Wind 270° at 1 kt · 1 kt tail · 0 kt across

How to read this

The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Began the flare at 22 ft, 33 m before the threshold; crossed the threshold at 20 ft, 30 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 231 m in, 74 m short of the ideal 305 m.

How to read this

The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 210 fpm at the flare to 70 fpm at 3 ft, then back up to 220 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 2.2° on the way down.

How to read this

Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.

Flight narrative

The Cessna 152 departed runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport, using a takeoff distance of 231 m which represented 9 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 42 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, no cross-wind and a 1 kt tail-wind component.

During the traffic-pattern sequence the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 11, completing the entry in less than 1 nm over 88 seconds. The left-hand crosswind leg covered less than 1 nm in 27 seconds. The downwind turn was executed at a 45° angle of 61.5°, covering 1 nm, followed by a downwind leg of 3 nm completed in 99 seconds. The base-leg turn, also at a 45° angle, measured 15.7° and spanned 2 nm before the aircraft commenced the final approach.

The final approach to runway 11 involved a controlled descent from 991 ft AGL to 31 ft AGL in 85 seconds, during which the aircraft satisfied the stabilisation gates.

Landing was made on runway 11, whose length is 2,614 m. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 47 kt, and touchdown occurred 228 m down the runway at 35 kt with a smooth vertical rate of minus 135 fpm. Runway-touchdown alignment was recorded as very good, and the same weather conditions as at departure prevailed.

In total the flight covered 8 nm, taking 7, and consumed 2 kg of fuel.
