Departure

Use small, coordinated rudder and aileron inputs to hold your assigned climb heading as soon as drift begins.

What happened: During the second climb segment, you let the aircraft drift off the assigned heading.

Watch for: Heading indicator: steady on the assigned climb heading

See Departure Climb 2

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.

Lifted off at 69 kt with 4.7° 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.

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

High from 0.8 nm, where the final began, to 0.5 nm (up to 430 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.

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.

Plan distance off the extended centreline, your left at the top, with the 1° band. Sideways distances are drawn 3× larger than distances along the final.

Inside the 1° band from 0.8 nm, where the final began, to 0.5 nm, then drifted 26 m left between 0.5 and 0.3 nm, then inside the band from 0.3 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 35 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 0.8 nm, where the final began, to 0.5 nm (up to +24 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

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 straight, wings level.

Wind 270° 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.

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

Crossed the threshold at 10 ft, 40 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 280 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 100 fpm at 11 ft to 10 fpm at 7 ft, then back up to 110 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 4.5° 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

Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport took less than a minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The Bulldog T1 aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 30, utilizing 365 meters, or 13% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 70 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff featured a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

Following takeoff, the aircraft entered a left-hand traffic pattern, navigating the initial turn in 17 seconds and the subsequent crosswind turn in 21 seconds. The pattern downwind turn covered a distance of 1 nautical mile, with an angle to the runway of 41.1°. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind leg, completing the turn in 6 seconds. The final approach to runway 12 was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 123.0° at an altitude of 122 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown distance, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 52 knots and a rate of -54 feet per minute.

The Bulldog T1 aircraft landed on runway 12, utilizing 277 meters, or 10% of the runway's length, to come to a stop. The total landing distance was 460 meters, or 17% of the runway's length, with the runway rollout alignment being perfect. The aircraft utilized 2 kilograms of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a distance of 4 nautical miles and lasted approximately 4 minutes. The local weather conditions at the time of landing featured a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component.
