Next time

Departure

Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during the roll.

What happened: The aircraft drifted 14 m off the runway centreline during the ground roll, and wing drift like that usually keeps reappearing as bank in the climb, with 2.6° of bank in the first climb segment and 4.1° still showing in the second.

Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the runway centreline during the roll, then wings level through the climb.

See Departure RollDeparture Climb 1Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Make small rudder corrections to track the centreline, aiming at a point on the far end of the runway.

What happened: Heading drifted off the extended centreline during the final approach segment.

Watch for: Heading indicator against the runway centreline track.

See Arrival Final 1

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

This flight was conducted in a Turbo Porter aircraft, departing from Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) and landing back at the same airport. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll began on runway 30, and the takeoff distance was 247 meters, which accounted for 9% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 63 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component. The enroute level cruise phase began overhead Monkton, a location in South Ayrshire, Scotland, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading 106.0 degrees at an altitude of 140 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing on runway 12 was successful, with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target speed of 57 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 153 meters, and the touchdown speed was 48 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -94 feet per minute (fpm).

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4.3 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those during takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component. The total landing distance was 265 meters, which accounted for 10% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.

The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 4 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the Pilatus PC-6 Porter
Landing Score 92.85 %
Landing Summary

The Turbo Porter aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a score of 92.8%. The final approach to runway 12 was conducted from the west, with a heading of 106.0° at an altitude of 140 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 57 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown distance of 153 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 48 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -94 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of precision and control.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.3 meters, which may require some adjustments to the aircraft's approach path or the pilot's technique to improve accuracy. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component.

The total landing distance of 265 meters was only 10% of the runway length, indicating a short and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well under control during the landing phase and that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and aligned path during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
