Departure
Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.
What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 2.1°.
Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: five 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.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,737 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 536 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza took off with a takeoff distance of 941 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 93 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 30, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile covered in just 16 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 14 seconds, showcasing the aircraft's agility and responsiveness. The downwind leg of the pattern spanned 2 nautical miles and took 79 seconds to complete.
The final approach to runway 30 was made from the south-east, with the aircraft heading 307.0 degrees at an altitude of 0 nautical miles and 112 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was well above the target, reaching 89 knots. The touchdown point was 99 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 65 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -41 feet per minute was perfect.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 807 meters, accounting for 30% of the runway. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees.
The flight concluded with a total distance of 4 nautical miles, which was covered in 2 minutes, and a fuel consumption of 3 kilograms. Overall, the flight demonstrated a high level of proficiency and control, with the pilot successfully navigating the aircraft through various phases of flight while adhering to safe and efficient procedures.
The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 98.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 307.0° at an altitude of 112 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 1 kt from the west.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 89 kt, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown point was 99 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 65 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -41 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, demonstrating a smooth and controlled landing.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during the rollout phase. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process.
The total landing distance of 807 meters was 30% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot executed a well-planned and controlled approach, taking into account the aircraft's performance and the runway's characteristics. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated excellent skills and judgment in executing a precise and controlled touchdown.
