Next time

Departure

Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 90 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.

What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 110 kt, 20 kt above the target liftoff speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 90 kt at liftoff

See Departure Roll

Twenty knots on a monitor produces the visual sensation of about ten. The advice to "taxi at a walking pace" cannot fix this, because your sense of walking pace is exactly the thing that's broken. Put the groundspeed readout in your scan and obey it for the next fifty flights, the way a student pilot leans on the airspeed indicator before learning to read attitude.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 110 kt with 2.6° 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. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 935 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 2,039 m of runway left; then climbing at 2,400 fpm on average to 935 ft.

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 shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

Rolled from 33 m in, drifted right of the centreline, 2.2 m at the widest, and lifted off 2.2 m right. Airborne 21 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.

How to read this

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: six checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 1.7 to 0.7 nm, then not again: fast from 0.7 nm to the threshold.

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.

The approach to EGPK 12

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

High from 4 nm to 2.7 nm (up to 1,300 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.

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° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 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.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 4 nm, never more than 58 m off the centreline.

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.

Inside the speed band from 4 nm to 2.7 nm, then fast to 1.7 nm (up to +40 kt), then inside the band to 0.7 nm, then fast to the threshold (up to +17 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. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 1° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 270° at 1 kt · 1 kt tail · 0 kt across

How to read this

The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.

The stop

From 67 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 14 s, an average deceleration of 0.15 g.

How to read this

Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.

Crossed the threshold at 28 ft, 22 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 776 m in, 471 m past the ideal 305 m.

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 1,524 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.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 250 fpm at 26 ft to 60 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 3.1° on the way down.

Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking area to the runway, which took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a Velocity XL, then departed from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The takeoff distance was 572 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 110 knots.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°. The crosswind and headwind were both 1 knot, resulting in a relatively calm environment. The enroute climb began overhead Monkton, South Ayrshire, Scotland, where the aircraft ascended from 1,047 feet above sea level to 2,441 feet, an increase of 1,394 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.

The enroute descent started 2 miles northwest of Troon, South Ayrshire, Scotland, where the aircraft descended from 2,470 feet above sea level to 1,818 feet, a decrease of 652 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was made from the northwest, heading 122.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,729 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 12 was successful, with a touchdown point 340 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 66 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -18 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions during landing were a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 1 knot.

The total landing distance was 1,109 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking area took approximately 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 12 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 9 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
