Know your rotation speed

Departure Roll

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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, accelerated down the 248-meter section of the runway that made up 9% of its total length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 46 knots, marking the start of the aircraft's ascent into the sky.

As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot from the northwest. The pilot navigated the aircraft to an enroute level cruise, which began overhead Monkton in South Ayrshire, Scotland. This brief cruise lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.

After the cruise, the pilot initiated a final approach to runway 12 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, coming in from the northwest at a heading of 121.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 83 feet above ground level and was 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 49 knots. The touchdown distance was 370 meters, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -14 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating a precise and controlled landing.

Following the landing, the pilot brought the aircraft to a stop, using a total distance of 620 meters, which was 23% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 3 nautical miles and lasted 4 minutes, consuming 2 kilograms of fuel in the process. The flight was characterized by smooth and controlled operations, with the pilot making precise decisions to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently through the local weather conditions.

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 121.0°. At an altitude of 83 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway, the pilot executed a precise final approach.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 72 kt, which is a minor deviation but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 370 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a well-executed landing.

The touchdown speed of 49 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -14 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, signifying a gentle and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind, making the landing even more challenging but ultimately successful.

The total landing distance of 620 meters was 23% of the runway length, which is a respectable achievement. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and controlled stop.

Overall, this landing demonstrates exceptional piloting skills and a high level of proficiency in executing a precise and controlled landing. The pilot's ability to adapt to the local weather conditions and execute a smooth touchdown, followed by a perfect runway rollout, is a testament to their expertise and experience.
