Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 88 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 104 kt, 16 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 88 kt at liftoff
See Departure Roll
Spacing cues are relative to your eyepoint, so two simmers with different FOV settings following the same wingtip cue fly patterns half a mile different in width, and a wide FOV compresses depth so the runway on base looks further away than it is, biasing you towards a late turn. Pick a camera position and FOV, save it, and never change it, because every judgement you calibrate is calibrated to that picture.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
At the 500 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,737 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 389 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a Black Square B36TP Bonanza Professional with the registration N6060E, accelerated down the 1,888-meter runway, covering 69% of its length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 104 knots, overcoming the local weather conditions of a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind of 14 knots at 124 degrees.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it flew a distance of 1 nautical mile in 69 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind was minimal, with the aircraft covering less than 1 nautical mile in just 20 seconds. The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, which took 2 nautical miles to complete at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a slight deviation of 3.4 degrees.
The aircraft then flew the downwind leg, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 2 seconds. The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 111.0 degrees and an altitude of 379 feet above ground level, 2 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 12 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 68 knots and a distance of 388 meters, which was 29% of the runway's length. The touchdown rate was perfect at -22 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 4 degrees Celsius and a wind of 14 knots at 124 degrees.
The total landing distance was 784 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight used 186 kilograms of fuel. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly, with the pilot demonstrating good control and navigation skills in challenging weather conditions.
The aircraft, a Black Square B36TP Bonanza Professional with the registration N6060E, successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The final approach was conducted from the west, heading 111.0° at an altitude of 379 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, and the threshold speed was achieved at 84 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good performance, with a touchdown distance of 388 meters and a touchdown speed of 68 knots. The touchdown rate was particularly impressive, with a perfect rate of -22 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 4°C and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 124°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 14 knots, which the aircraft successfully managed. The total landing distance was 784 meters, accounting for 29% of the runway length.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, allowing for a stable and controlled deceleration. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
