Pattern Crosswind

Each lap slightly wider and higher than the last, because you're unconsciously using the previous lap as your reference instead of the runway and the numbers. Invisible lap to lap, unmistakable across ten. This is the failure that only measurement catches, because your memory of lap three is gone by lap eight.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the PA28 Archer II aircraft successfully took off with a takeoff distance of 63 meters, which is just 2% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 58 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 270°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.

After taking off, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern, navigating the circuit in a smooth and efficient manner. The left-hand pattern entry from runway 12 was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 21 seconds, while the left-hand pattern crosswind leg was covered in 23 seconds. The downwind leg of the pattern was the longest, spanning 2 nautical miles in 108 seconds. The base leg turn, which involved a 45-degree angle to the runway, was completed in 1 nautical mile, while the base leg itself was covered in less than 1 nautical mile in 26 seconds. The final turn, which set the aircraft up for landing, was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 24 seconds.

The final approach to runway 12 was made from the north-west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 121.0° and an altitude of 58.5 meters above ground level (agl) at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 51 knots and a distance of 214 meters, which is just 17% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was an excellent -0.3 meters per second, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.0 meters from the centerline.

The total landing distance was 470 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight used no fuel, indicating a highly efficient and economical operation. Overall, the flight was characterized by smooth and controlled flight, efficient navigation of the circuit, and a successful landing.

Landing Score 98.39 %
Landing Summary

The PA28 Archer II aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 121.0° at 1 nautical mile and 58.5 meters above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 12, which has a length of 2,737 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 59 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 214 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 51 knots was also within acceptable limits. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -0.3 meters per second.

Despite the good overall performance, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 5.0 meters off the centerline. This may be attributed to the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots.

The total landing distance of 470 meters was only 17% of the runway length, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase. Overall, the PA28 Archer II aircraft performed well during the landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, with only minor areas for improvement.
