What went well

Touched down at -149 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 52 ft and 115 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 2.16 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Departure Roll — Strobe Lights at 0 %, −0.42 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 87 %, −0.27 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 574 m at 87 %, −0.19 points

Next time

Arrival

Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 29 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.

What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 29 ft down to touchdown.

Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 29 ft to touchdown.

See Arrival Landing

The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

Flight narrative

Departing from Glasgow Prestwick Airport, the FFX P180 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 30. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 116 kt, achieving lift-off in a distance of 1,131 m, which represented 41% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from a direction of 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 1,020 ft above sea level to 1,187 ft asl, a gain of 167 ft in less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nm. The climb was followed by a brief level cruise phase, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 3 minutes while covering a distance of 7 nm. The enroute descent phase commenced 1 mile south-east of Prestwick, with the aircraft descending from 1,422 ft asl to 543 ft asl, a decrease of 879 ft in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nm. The final approach to runway 30 was initiated from a heading of 296.0°, 1 nm from the threshold and at an altitude of 486 ft above ground level.

The aircraft landed safely on runway 30, with a touchdown point located 148 m beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 93 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -149 fpm was smooth. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 13 nm, and the flight duration was 6 minutes, during which the aircraft consumed 37 kg of fuel. The local weather conditions at the time of landing remained unchanged, with a temperature of 16 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from a direction of 269°.
