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

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 32°, 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

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Speed and pitch

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.

Lifted off at 64 kt with 5.3° 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.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 432 ft.

Reached 35 ft with 1,664 m of runway left; then climbing at 700 fpm on average to 432 ft.

How to read this

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

The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° left of the track, wings level.

Wind 269° at 1 kt · 1 kt head · 0 kt across

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.

The stop

From 51 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 18 s, an average deceleration of 0.07 g.

How to read this

Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 39 ft, 11 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 344 m in, close to 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 1,524 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 went from 720 fpm at 40 ft to 70 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 10.1° on the way down.

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

Departing from Glasgow Prestwick Airport, the Bulldog T1 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 12, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 65 kt within 824 meters, which represented 30% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft transitioned to the enroute phase, it leveled off overhead Monkton, Scotland, and maintained a steady cruise altitude for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its final approach to runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, aligning itself with the runway from the south-east at a heading of 300.0°. The approach was characterized by a good threshold height, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 52 kt and a touchdown rate of -44 fpm, which was considered perfect. The total landing distance of 664 meters, representing 24% of the available runway length, was also deemed satisfactory.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained a very good runway alignment, and the rollout was similarly well-executed. The total flight distance of 4 nautical miles was achieved in 4 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 2 kg of fuel. Overall, the flight demonstrated a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures, with the aircraft performing well within its capabilities under the prevailing weather conditions.
