Departure

Smooth your control inputs during the roll and rotation, easing the controls rather than snatching them, to keep the g force steady.

What happened: Abrupt control inputs during the ground roll produced 0.2 g on the g meter, and this kind of rough handling usually carries into the initial climb, showing up as 0.2 g in Climb 1 and larger excursions of 0.3 g in Climb 2.

Watch for: G meter: a smooth, steady reading through the roll and into the climb.

The 45-degrees-behind-the-wing cue assumes you can turn your head and use peripheral vision. Downwind spacing cues like "put the wingtip halfway up the strut" assume a fixed, known eyepoint. Neither survives a monitor unmodified. If you fly on a fixed monitor, stop pretending and fly a numbers-based circuit.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, EGPK. The aircraft, an Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen: Explorer, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 50 kt, requiring a takeoff distance of just 35 meters, which is only 1% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 2 kt from a direction of 270 °.

As the aircraft entered the traffic pattern, it made a left-hand pattern entry from runway 12, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nm in just 16 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind was also executed with ease, taking the aircraft less than 1 nm to complete in 20 seconds. The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, which required a distance of 1 nm and an angle of 116.0 ° to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 2 nm long and took 55 seconds to complete.

After completing the downwind leg, the pilot initiated a base leg turn, which required a distance of 1 nm and an angle of 13.0 ° to the runway. The final approach to runway 12 was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 121.0 ° at an altitude of 245 ft above ground level and a distance of 1 nm from the runway threshold.

The landing itself was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 29 kt and a distance of 279 m. The touchdown rate was perfect at -44 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 2 kt from a direction of 270 °.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 5 nm and took 4 minutes to complete, using a mere 0 kg of fuel. The pilot's skill and control of the aircraft were evident throughout the flight, making it a safe and successful operation.

Landing Summary

The Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen, a single-engine, two-seat aircraft, successfully landed at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) on runway 12. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 121.0°, approximately 1 nautical mile away and at an altitude of 245 feet above ground level (agl).

The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions. The temperature was a moderate 15°C, and the wind was blowing at a gentle 2 knots from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind component of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing.

Upon reaching the threshold of the runway, the pilot maintained a steady speed of 43 knots, which is consistent with the recommended threshold speed for the Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen. The aircraft then touched down on the runway at a distance of 279 meters, which is considered good. The touchdown speed was a relatively low 29 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The rate of descent at touchdown was -44 feet per minute (fpm), which is perfect for a safe and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained a stable and consistent approach path.

Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, taking into account the local weather conditions and the aircraft's performance characteristics. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled touchdown, and the aircraft's performance was consistent with its design and capabilities.
