Departing from Cibao International Airport, the Cessna Skyhawk began its takeoff roll on runway 29, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 69 kt in a distance of 522 m, which accounted for 20% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off into a calm local weather environment, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt from a direction of 270 °.

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 5 nm in 140 seconds, allowing the pilot to assess the aircraft's performance and adjust the approach as necessary. The base leg turn was executed smoothly, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent angle of 45 degrees to the runway. The final approach was initiated from a heading of 284.0 °, with the aircraft descending to an altitude of 481 ft above ground level (agl) at a distance of 1 nm from the runway threshold.

The Cessna Skyhawk touched down on runway 29 with a touchdown speed of 44 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 379 m was also satisfactory, and the aircraft's rate of descent during the landing was -154 fpm, indicating a controlled and stable approach. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 m from the centreline, the overall performance of the aircraft was good. The flight, which covered a total distance of 10 nm, consumed 4 kg of fuel and lasted approximately 8 minutes.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 29 at MDST Cibao International Airport with a good threshold height, allowing for a stable and controlled approach. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 284.0° at 1 nm and 481 ft above ground level. The pilot maintained a steady descent, aligning the aircraft with the runway centreline as the threshold came into view. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 63 kt, indicating a slight increase in airspeed during the final stages of the approach.

The touchdown was characterized by a good speed of 44 kt and a descent rate of -154 fpm, indicating a controlled and stable landing. The touchdown distance of 379 m was also within acceptable limits. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path or a minor error in the pilot's alignment with the runway. Despite this, the overall touchdown characteristics were good, and the aircraft came to rest in a stable and controlled manner.

The rollout phase was uneventful, with the aircraft maintaining its centreline alignment as it slowed to a stop. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt at 270°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was minimal, providing a stable and predictable environment for the landing. Overall, the landing was scored 98.1%, reflecting the good approach quality, stable touchdown, and controlled rollout.
