Departure

Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 14°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Speed and pitch

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.

Lifted off at 100 kt with 3.8° 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. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, the part of the climb scored on holding the climb speed.

Side view from the start of the roll to the end of Climb 3 at 844 ft.

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. The shaded stretch is Climb 3, scored on its average speed against the target.

The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length.

The stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: six checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.

At the 300 ft gate: centreline more than 1° off and wings more than 10° from level.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: fast all the way, banked until 0.9 nm and right of the centreline until 0.3 nm.

How to read this

Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.

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. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

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.

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.

The stop

From 61 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 17 s, an average deceleration of 0.10 g.

How to read this

Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.

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.

Flight narrative

This flight was conducted using a Velocity XL aircraft. The pre-takeoff phase was brief, with the taxi from the parking area to the runway taking less than a minute and covering less than a nautical mile. The aircraft departed from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport.

Upon departure, the Velocity XL accelerated down the 465-meter-long runway, which is 17% of the total runway length. The takeoff distance was sufficient to achieve liftoff speed of 101 knots. The local weather conditions at takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and light, 1-knot tailwind from a westerly direction.

As the aircraft entered its enroute phase, a gradual descent was initiated overhead Monkton, a location in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The descent from 951 feet above sea level to 501 feet above sea level took approximately 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The reduction in altitude was achieved without significant changes in speed.

After the descent, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The approach was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 110.0 °. At an altitude of 428 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold, the aircraft was in position for a landing.

The landing itself was executed successfully, with the aircraft touching down 351 meters beyond the touchdown zone on runway 12. The touchdown speed of 60 knots was well within the target parameters, and the touchdown rate of -69 feet per minute was excellent. Additionally, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting minimal deviations from the centerline.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft continued down the runway, with the rollout alignment being very good. The total landing distance of 1,177 meters was 43% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled touchdown. The local weather conditions at touchdown were characterized by a temperature of 20 °C and a 3-knot headwind with a 3-knot crosswind.

Overall, the flight was completed successfully, with a total distance of 3 nautical miles traveled in 3 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no additional fuel during the flight, suggesting efficient airframe performance and minimal energy loss.
