Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 4.5°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

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.

Lifted off at 59 kt with 6.2° 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 crosswind

No wind recorded: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 1° left of the track, wings level.

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.

Side view — the last 2,112 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 5 ft, 45 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 1,990 m in, 1,685 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 2,112 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 grew from 130 fpm at 3 ft to 160 fpm at touchdown. The pitch barely changed.

How to read this

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

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.
