Flight Score
Departure
Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 3.2°, more roll than the climb out called for.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed, off the runway's 3° glideslope and off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,079 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 264 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 29 at Cibao International Airport. The aircraft, a Cessna 152, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 64 knots. The takeoff distance was 72 meters, which is just 3% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began to ascend to a higher altitude. The first enroute climb started overhead the airport and took the aircraft from 733 feet above sea level to 1,687 feet, an increase of 955 feet in just 1 minute. The aircraft then leveled off and began a 2-minute cruise at a distance of 1 mile south east of the airport, covering a further 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 1,572 feet to 3,318 feet, an increase of 1,746 feet in 3 minutes. This climb took the aircraft 2 nautical miles away from the airport. The aircraft then began a descent, dropping from 3,377 feet to 2,309 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The next enroute climb started overhead Licey al Medio and took the aircraft from 2,388 feet to 3,097 feet, an increase of 708 feet in 2 minutes. The aircraft then leveled off and began a 3-minute cruise at a distance of 1 mile north of Licey al Medio, covering a further 5 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another descent, dropping from 3,850 feet to 3,320 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The next enroute climb took the aircraft from 3,323 feet to 3,877 feet, an increase of 555 feet in 2 minutes. The aircraft then began a 2-minute cruise at a distance of 8 miles north of San Victor Arriba, covering a further 3 nautical miles.
The final descent started 6 miles south of Gregorio Luperon International Airport and took the aircraft from 4,114 feet to 289 feet in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 08 at the airport, heading 71.0 degrees at an altitude of 248 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 08 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 262 meters and a touchdown speed of 28 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -67 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees.
The total flight distance was 27 nautical miles, and the flight took 21 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 7 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Cessna 152 aircraft successfully landed at MDPP Gregorio Luperon International Airport, achieving a high score of 97.9%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, aligning with the runway 08 heading of 71.0°. At the point of initiation, the aircraft was at 0 nm and 248 ft above ground level (agl), indicating a precise and controlled descent.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a satisfactory threshold height, demonstrating a well-executed approach. The threshold speed of 57 kt was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The touchdown distance of 262 m was also good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The touchdown speed of 28 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -67 fpm was excellent, indicating a very smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a precise and controlled approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt at 270°. The crosswind component was negligible at 0 kt, and the tailwind component was minimal at 1 kt. These conditions contributed to a smooth and controlled landing. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 97.9%.
