Next time

Departure

Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold 1.2° of bank out of the climb.

What happened: The pilot held 1.2° of bank during the climb out, and excess bank like this usually carries a heading drift into the next climb segment.

Watch for: Attitude indicator and heading bug, keeping bank near wings level so heading holds steady.

See Departure Climb 1Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Keep increasing back pressure smoothly after the sink arrests at 2.9 ft, holding that attitude firmly all the way to touchdown.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink at 2.9 ft, but 107 fpm of sink came back before touchdown, and sink returning like this usually carries through into a bounce at touchdown.

Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: steady, continuously decreasing sink held through the flare and into touchdown.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the departure roll from runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, EGPK. The aircraft, Sirius, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 110 meters, which was 4% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 65 knots, marking the start of the takeoff phase.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 20 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 3 knots from a direction of 228 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile southeast of Troon, Scotland, where the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 625 feet above sea level to 412 feet above sea level, an increase of 213 feet in just 1 minute. This climb phase covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

As the aircraft approached the final approach phase, it began its descent from a height of 360 feet above ground level, heading northwest towards runway 12 at EGPK. The aircraft maintained a steady heading of 125.0 degrees at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold.

The landing phase was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 36 knots. The touchdown distance was 449 meters, which was well within the acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was an impressive -77 feet per minute, indicating a controlled and gentle touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.1 meters.

The local weather conditions during the landing phase remained the same, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind of 3 knots from a direction of 228 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 607 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration phase.

In conclusion, the flight was a successful one, with the aircraft performing well in terms of takeoff, climb, approach, and landing. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 4 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 6 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing report
Landing on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the TL3000 Sirius
Landing Score 96.53 %
Landing Summary

The aircraft, identified as Sirius, successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport with a high score of 96.5%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 125.0° at 1 nautical mile and 360 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on runway 12.

The runway at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport has a length of 2,737 meters, providing a sufficient distance for the aircraft to touch down and come to a stop. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 55 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach.

The touchdown distance of 449 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down within a reasonable distance from the threshold. The touchdown speed of 36 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -77 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and touch down smoothly.

However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.1 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended path. Despite this, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a light wind of 3 knots at 228°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, with 3 knots and 1 knot respectively, which would not have significantly impacted the landing.

The total landing distance of 607 meters was 22% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and bring it to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
