This flight was conducted in a Cessna Skyhawk aircraft, starting with an enroute climb from a location 1 mile northeast of San Rafael in the Provincia de San Jose, Costa Rica. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 3,474 feet above sea level to the same altitude, resulting in a negligible increase of 0 feet in less than 1 minute, while covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Upon approaching the Tobías Bolaños International Airport, the pilot initiated a go-around maneuver on runway 09 at an altitude of 0 feet above ground level. This was followed by a second go-around at an altitude of 12 feet above ground level. The aircraft then proceeded with a final approach to runway 09 from the west, flying at a heading of 116.0 degrees and an altitude of 900 feet above ground level, while maintaining a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 09 was successful, with a good threshold height and a touchdown distance of 437 meters. However, the threshold speed was slightly high at 77 knots. The touchdown speed of 36 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -120 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a precise and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the flight were characterized by a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots from a direction of 59 degrees. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 13 knots. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 3 minutes, covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The flight was relatively short, covering a total distance of 7 nautical miles and lasting 21 minutes. The aircraft used 6 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly, with a good landing and a controlled taxiing to the parking area.

The Cessna Skyhawk aircraft successfully landed at MRPV Tobías Bolaños International Airport, but with some notable issues. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 116.0° at 2 nautical miles and 900 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down before the threshold, which is a common occurrence in many landings. However, the touchdown speed of 51 kt was good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and managed the descent effectively.
The touchdown rate, on the other hand, was very heavy at -3,341 fpm, which is a concern. A heavy touchdown rate can put excessive stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially cause damage. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 135.2 meters from the centerline, which may have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate.
The local weather conditions during the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 23°C and a wind speed of 12 kt at 50°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 8 kt, which is relatively light. The runway length was 1,564 meters, and the threshold height was good.
In a separate landing, the Cessna Skyhawk touched down at a speed of 36 kt, which was good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -120 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions during this landing were warmer, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 16 kt at 59°. The crosswind and headwind components were 9 kt and 13 kt, respectively.
Overall, the Cessna Skyhawk demonstrated some inconsistent performance during the landings, with heavy touchdown rates and misaligned runway touchdowns. However, the pilot was able to recover and achieve smooth touchdowns in some instances. Further analysis and training may be necessary to improve the aircraft's performance and reduce the risk of damage or injury.
