Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 62 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 77 kt, 15 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 62 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Each lap slightly wider and higher than the last, because you're unconsciously using the previous lap as your reference instead of the runway and the numbers. Invisible lap to lap, unmistakable across ten. This is the failure that only measurement catches, because your memory of lap three is gone by lap eight.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
At the 300 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed and off the runway's 2.8° glideslope.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,606 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 268 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Cibao International Airport, the Cessna Skyhawk began its takeoff roll on runway 11, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 77 kt in 1,130 meters, which accounted for 43% of the available runway 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 entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it maintained a steady pace, completing the downwind turn in 1 nm and the downwind leg in 3 nm over a period of 120 seconds. The base leg turn was executed at an angle of 29.9 degrees to the runway, followed by a short base leg of less than 1 nm in 25 seconds. The final turn was completed in under 1 nm in 20 seconds, setting the aircraft up for a smooth final approach to runway 11. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 47 kt, with a touchdown distance of 266 m and a touchdown rate of -98 fpm, demonstrating excellent control and precision.
The flight concluded with a total distance of 9 nm, covering the route in 5 minutes and consuming 2 kg of fuel. The landing was characterized by good threshold height, threshold speed, and runway touchdown alignment, indicating a well-executed approach and landing. The local weather conditions remained consistent throughout the flight, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle tailwind of 1 kt.
The final approach to runway 11 at MDST Cibao International Airport from the west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 106.0° at 1 nm and 622 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 61 kt, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it touched down at a distance of 266 m, a good indication of the pilot's control and skill.
The touchdown characteristics were equally impressive, with a speed of 47 kt and a rate of descent of -98 fpm, an excellent result that demonstrated the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's energy and control its descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway, a testament to the pilot's attention to detail and ability to maintain control throughout the approach and landing phases. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, were favorable for the landing, with a negligible crosswind and a slight tailwind of 1 kt.
The overall performance of the pilot and the aircraft was outstanding, with a score of 95.4% reflecting the high level of skill and precision displayed throughout the approach and landing phases. The combination of good approach quality, precise touchdown characteristics, and excellent runway alignment resulted in a smooth and controlled landing, a credit to the pilot's training and experience.
