Next time

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 2.3°, more roll than the climb out called for.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb

See Departure Climb 2

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.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.

Lifted off at 71 kt with 5.5° of pitch.

How to read this

Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then.

How to read this

The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length.

The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.

The stabilisation gates

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.

Landing flap
Sink rate

Wings level

At the 300 ft gate: no landing flap set, centreline more than 1° off and wings more than 10° from level.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: no landing flap all the way, left of the centreline all the way, fast all the way and banked until 0.8 nm.

How to read this

Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.

Profile height against the 3.5° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 1.0 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 80 ft above the slope.

How to read this

Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3.5° here, which is about 370 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 60 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

How to read this

Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 29 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 17 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 1.0 nm, where the final began, to the threshold (up to +23 kt).

How to read this

Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down.

How to read this

The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 2,733 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the Wilga 80 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 71 meters, which is just 3% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 72 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot from the west.

After taking off, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This brief cruise phase allowed the aircraft to reach a cruising altitude before beginning its descent for landing.

The final approach to runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport was initiated from the south-east, with the aircraft heading towards the runway at a bearing of 318.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was 1 nautical mile from the runway and at an altitude of 387 feet above ground level.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 137 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 68 knots, which was considered excessively fast. However, the touchdown rate was perfect at 10 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.4 meters.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a stronger wind of 14 knots from the south-west. The crosswind component was 13 knots, while the tailwind component was 6 knots.

The total landing distance was 2,654 meters, which is 97% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft during the landing phase. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight used a total of -10 kilograms of fuel.
