Departure Roll

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Flight narrative

This flight was conducted in a DHC-2 Beaver aircraft, a small, single-engine plane. The aircraft taxied from the parking area to the runway at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The departure roll began on runway 30, and the takeoff distance was 329 meters, which is 12% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 67 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees.

After takeoff, the aircraft entered a level cruise at an altitude of approximately 408 feet above ground level (agl) and a heading of 109.0 degrees. This phase of the flight lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 12 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, which is located to the north-west of the airport.

The approach was conducted at an altitude of 408 feet agl and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold. The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,737 meters. The touchdown distance was 392 meters, and the touchdown speed was 57 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -137 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. 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 269 degrees.

The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 4 minutes. The aircraft used 5 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was conducted in good weather conditions, and the pilot's performance was considered to be good.

Landing report
Landing on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the DHC-2 Beaver
Landing Score 94.51 %
Landing Summary

The DHC-2 Beaver aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 94.5%. The final approach to runway 12 was conducted from the north-west, with a heading of 109.0° at 1 nautical mile and 408 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled approach, with the aircraft maintaining a steady course and altitude.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a distance of 392 meters, which is considered good. The touchdown speed of 57 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase. The touchdown rate of -137 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a gentle and controlled descent.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a precise alignment with the runway during the final approach and landing. This is a critical aspect of safe landing operations, as it helps to prevent the aircraft from drifting off the runway or experiencing a loss of directional control.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component, making the landing even more challenging and requiring the pilot to exercise greater control and precision. Overall, the landing was executed successfully, with the aircraft touching down safely and smoothly on the runway.
