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.

Lifted off at 67 kt with 5.1° 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.

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.

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 crosswind

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 1° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 270° at 2 kt · 2 kt tail · 1 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 45 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 495 m in, 190 m past the ideal 305 m.

How to read this

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.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 420 fpm at 44 ft to 30 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 6.5° on the way down.

Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the PA28 Archer II aircraft successfully took off in a distance of 344 meters, which is 13% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 67 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

Following the takeoff, the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern from runway 30, completing the turn in less than 1 nautical mile in 110 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was also executed efficiently, taking less than 1 nautical mile in 13 seconds. The downwind turn was made at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a distance of 2 nautical miles covered in this phase. The downwind leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 11 seconds.

As the aircraft approached the runway, it was on a heading of 140 degrees, 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold at an altitude of 369.9 meters above ground level. The final approach was made to runway 12, which has a length of 2,737 meters. The landing was executed smoothly, with a threshold speed of 70 knots and a touchdown speed of 56 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown point was 54 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total flight distance was 10 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 13 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
