Top opportunity

Fixing the bounce

Arrival Touchdown

Fast at the threshold, normal flare, and the runway seems to refuse the aircraft. The instinctive fix - pushing it on - causes the next one. A fast aircraft forced onto the runway touches nosewheel-first or nearly so. The tell is a touchdown that feels soft followed by a bounce that steepens. Pilots fix the bounce recovery; the cause was the 10 knots at the threshold.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the departure roll from runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, EGPK. The aircraft, Sirius, took off with a takeoff distance of 161 meters, which was 6% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 56 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Monkton, a location in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The climb began at an altitude of 316 meters above sea level and increased to 338 meters in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This rapid ascent was a testament to the aircraft's capabilities.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 20 nautical miles. This phase of the flight allowed the aircraft to maintain a steady altitude and speed, conserving fuel and minimizing the risk of fatigue.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent overhead EGRT Bute Airfield Rothesay, a location in North Ayrshire, Scotland. The descent started at an altitude of 300 meters above sea level and decreased to 42 meters in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This controlled descent ensured a safe and smooth landing.

The final approach to runway 09 at X6BU Bute was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 85 degrees at an altitude of 25.8 meters above ground level. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 480 meters, and the threshold height was good. The threshold speed at 44 knots was well below the target, requiring the pilot to exercise caution to avoid stalling.

The touchdown distance was good at 102 meters, and the touchdown speed at 40 knots was also satisfactory. The touchdown rate was perfect at -0.2 meters per second, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 294 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots.

The total landing distance was 273 meters, which was 57% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 23 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 19 minutes. The aircraft used 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
