Shorten the long landing

Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Flight narrative

This flight was conducted in a Wilga 80 aircraft, taking off from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway was extremely brief, lasting less than a minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

Upon departure, the aircraft accelerated down the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 59 knots. The takeoff distance was 247 meters, which accounted for only 9% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible headwind.

Following takeoff, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, flying overhead Monkton in South Ayrshire, Scotland. This segment of the flight lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

As the aircraft approached the end of its flight, it began its final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, coming in from the north-west at a heading of 122.0 degrees and an altitude of 217 feet above ground level. However, the pilot decided to execute a go-around at an altitude of 0 feet, likely due to unsatisfactory conditions for landing.

The aircraft then re-entered the landing phase, touching down on the runway at a speed of 43 knots. The touchdown distance was 28 meters, which was a relatively short distance, accounting for only 4% of the runway. However, the touchdown rate was somewhat hard, at -424 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 4.3 meters.

The total landing distance was 108 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline, by 10.1 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible tailwind.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 3 nautical miles and lasted for 5 minutes, consuming approximately 3 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the Wilga 80
Landing Score 86.6 %
Landing Summary

The Wilga 80 aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a score of 92.0%. The final approach to runway 12 was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 122.0° at 1 nautical mile and 217 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 2,737 meters, and the threshold height was reported as good.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 55 knots. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown distance of 28 meters was also considered good, suggesting that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's approach and landing. The touchdown speed of 43 knots was also within acceptable limits, further indicating a well-executed landing.

However, the touchdown rate was reported as hard, with a rate of -424 feet per minute (fpm). This may indicate that the pilot could have applied a smoother touchdown, potentially reducing the impact on the aircraft's landing gear. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or alignment with the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind, making the landing conditions favorable. The total landing distance of 108 meters was only 4% of the runway length, indicating a successful and controlled landing.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline was slightly off by 10.1 meters. This may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control or a minor issue with the aircraft's directional control. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and management of the aircraft throughout the approach and landing phases.
