Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a PA28 Archer II, successfully took off in just 45 meters, which is 2% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 58 knots, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 270 degrees.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it demonstrated impressive agility, completing the entry in less than 1 nautical mile in just 10 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind turn was also executed efficiently, taking less than 1 nautical mile in 17 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was a bit longer, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile, and the angle to the runway was 90.7 degrees. The downwind leg itself took 74 seconds to complete, covering the same distance.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 12, which is 2,737 meters long, at a speed of 52 knots, which is well within the target range. The touchdown point was 158 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown rate was perfect at -0.2 meters per second. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind of 4 knots at 272 degrees.

The total landing distance was 831 meters, which is 30% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and expertise. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight took approximately 3 minutes to complete, using just 1 kilogram of fuel. Overall, the flight was a testament to the aircraft's performance and the pilot's exceptional flying skills.

Landing report
Landing on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the PA28 Archer II
Landing Score 84.61 %
Landing Summary

The PA28 Archer II aircraft successfully landed on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving an overall score of 84.6%. The landing was conducted under favorable local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a relatively light wind of 4 kn at 272°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kn, while the tailwind component was slightly stronger at 3 kn.

The aircraft touched down 158 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 52 kn was well within the target range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -0.2 m/s was also perfect, demonstrating a precise and gentle touchdown.

One area for improvement was the threshold speed, which was significantly above the target at 81 kn. This suggests that the aircraft may have been descending too quickly or that the pilot may have been unable to maintain a stable approach speed. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.4 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight drift or a minor deviation in the approach.

Despite these minor issues, the overall landing performance was satisfactory. The total landing distance of 831 m was only 30% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down safely and the pilot demonstrating good control and precision. However, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining a stable approach speed and aligning the aircraft with the centreline during the touchdown phase.
