What went well

Touched down at -23 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 216 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 0.07 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Approach — 300 ft gate 71 %, −2.38 points
Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was a little below target at 65 kt at 90 %, −0.21 points

Next time

Arrival

Add power on short final to hold 73 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 65 kt against a target of 73 kt, below reference speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 73 kt down to the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The Diamond DA40 taxied to runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick and commenced its take-off roll. The aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 346 m, representing 12 % of the available runway, and lifted off at 65 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind from 270° at 2 kt, giving a 2 kt head-wind component and a 1 kt cross-wind component.

During the left-hand pattern the aircraft entered the circuit from runway 30, covering less than 1 nm in 24 seconds. It then proceeded on the left-hand crosswind leg, again less than 1 nm in 24 seconds, before turning onto the downwind leg where it flew 2 nm at a 146.0° angle to the runway. The downwind leg itself was under 1 nm and lasted 29 seconds, after which the aircraft executed a base-leg turn of 1 nm with an 11.2° angle to the runway.

The final approach to runway 30 descended from 546 ft AGL to 33 ft AGL in 44 seconds, and the aircraft met the stabilisation gates criteria during this segment.

On touchdown the aircraft contacted runway 30, whose total length is 2 978 m, at a threshold speed slightly below the target at 65 kt. The touchdown point was 215 m from the threshold, the speed was 57 kt and the vertical speed was minus 25 fpm, with perfect runway-centerline alignment. Local weather remained 15 °C with a wind from 270° at 2 kt (2 kt head-wind, 1 kt cross-wind). The total landing roll measured 388 m, equivalent to 13 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was also perfect.

The flight covered a total of 4 nm, required approximately 3 minutes, and consumed 1 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Diamond DA40 made its final approach to runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, runway length 2,978 m, descending from 546 ft agl to 33 ft agl in 44 seconds while being scored on the stabilisation gates. Local weather was 15 °C with wind 2 kt from 270 °, a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind.

At threshold the aircraft encountered a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was a little below target at 65 kt. The flare was executed within the expected parameters, leading to a smooth transition to the ground.

Touchdown occurred 215 m down the runway at a speed of 57 kt, both described as good, with a perfect touchdown rate of minus 25 fpm and perfect runway touchdown alignment.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 388 m, representing 13 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.

With a score of 92.2 % the landing was strong; refining the approach speed to meet the target threshold speed will tighten the margin further. Maintaining the current flare timing and alignment will preserve the high quality already demonstrated.
