What went well

Touched down at -94 fpm — a soft arrival
1.09 G at touchdown — inside band
Lifted off at 87 kt — on the 100 kt target

What held you back

Pattern Downwind Turn — Angle to runway (45 degrees) 2.2 ° at 0 %, −2.50 points
Departure Climb 2 — scored 90.00 %, −1.11 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 41 %, −0.79 points

Next time

Departure

Hold the nose down a touch longer and let speed build to 100 kt before liftoff.

What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 87 kt, 13 kt below the 100 kt target.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 100 kt at liftoff

See Departure Roll

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Speed and pitch

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

Lifted off at 87 kt with 5.1° 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.

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 stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 3.5 nm, about 920 ft above the runway, to the threshold, before the 500 ft gate. The last to settle was the centreline.

How to read this

Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.

The approach to EGPK 12

The final from 4 nm, with the stabilisation gates on it.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 3.7 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 310 ft below the slope.

How to read this

Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

Joined 329 m left of the centreline at 3.7 nm, then inside the band from 3.5 nm to the threshold.

How to read this

Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 45 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 27 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +1 kt and +9 kt on the approach speed of 90 kt.

How to read this

Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.

The crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 7° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 269° at 1 kt · 1 kt tail · 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 70 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 24 s, an average deceleration of 0.10 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 1,613 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 57 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 909 m in, 604 m past 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 1,613 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 470 fpm at 55 ft to 90 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 8.2° 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

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The Cessna 414A aircraft accelerated down the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 87 kt. The takeoff distance was 496 m, which accounted for 18% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt from a direction of 270 °, resulting in a negligible headwind or crosswind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it followed a standard procedure, with the pilot navigating the aircraft through a series of turns and legs. The entry into the pattern was completed in less than 1 nm in 184 seconds, and the subsequent crosswind turn was accomplished in 1 nm in 53 seconds. The downwind turn was a significant portion of the pattern, covering a distance of 4 nm at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a turn radius of 2.2 °.

After completing the downwind turn, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 12, which was located at a distance of 3 nm and an altitude of 915 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a heading of 120.0 ° as the aircraft descended towards the runway. The landing was executed with a threshold height that was slightly above the target, and a threshold speed that was well above the target at 98 kt.

The touchdown point was located 474 m beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 68 kt and an excellent touchdown rate of -57 fpm. However, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 10.2 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 16 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt from a direction of 270 °, resulting in a negligible tailwind component.

The total landing distance was 1,513 m, which accounted for 55% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.9 m from the centreline. The total flight distance was 9 nm, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 kg of fuel during the flight, indicating an extremely efficient operation.
