Next time

Departure

Ease the yoke smoothly to hold a steady one g through the ground roll instead of letting it sag to 0.4 g.

What happened: During the ground roll the g force averaged 0.4 g, well below the smooth steady load expected while tracking the runway.

Watch for: Watch the g meter and hold it steady near one g through the roll.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Ease the descent rate on final, flying a shallower path back onto the target glidepath angle rather than diving steep.

What happened: On final, the approach was flown at a steeper angle than the target glidepath for that segment.

Watch for: Watch the VSI and glidepath/VASI indication on final, keeping the descent angle matched to the target rather than steepening.

See Arrival Final 1

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

This flight was conducted in a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than one nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, with a takeoff distance of 247 meters, which is approximately 9% of the runway length.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The liftoff speed was achieved at 73 knots.

The enroute climb began overhead Monkton, a location in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 1,050 feet above sea level to 1,859 feet above sea level, an increase of 809 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent 1 mile west of Monkton. The descent took place from an altitude of 1,849 feet above sea level to 488 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,362 feet, in 3 minutes and covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was conducted from the east, with the aircraft heading 288.0 degrees at an altitude of 431 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.

The landing on runway 30 was successful, with the touchdown point located 67 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 51 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -65 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at the time of takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. The aircraft used 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the Piper PA-24 Comanche
Landing Score 71.33 %
Landing Summary

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a score of 71.3%. The final approach to runway 30 was conducted from the east, with a heading of 288.0° at 1 nautical mile and 431 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a slightly above-target threshold speed of 75 knots, which indicates a good level of control and precision.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 67 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 51 knots was well within the target range, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -65 feet per minute (fpm) was also excellent, indicating a gentle and stable landing.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway and that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which further contributed to a stable and controlled landing.

Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases. While there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, the pilot's performance was generally strong, and the aircraft landed safely and smoothly.
