Know your rotation speed

Departure Roll

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The Baron aircraft required a takeoff distance of 520 meters, which is 19% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 95 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The entry was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 37 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was also flown in a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 16 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was executed at an angle of 88.9 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 53 seconds to complete.

The pattern base leg turn was made at an angle of 19.0 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The final approach to runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was made from the south-east, heading 301.0 degrees at an altitude of 225 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was successful, with a touchdown distance of 468 meters. The touchdown speed was 61 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -96 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. At the time of landing, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, which was completed in 4 minutes. The flight used 3 kilograms of fuel. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly, with good control and precision throughout.

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, a Baron, successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach was initiated from the south east, aligning with the runway 30 at a heading of 301.0°, at an altitude of 225 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of safe landing procedures. However, the threshold speed was slightly higher than ideal, reaching 85 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was satisfactory at 468 meters, and the touchdown speed of 61 knots was within acceptable limits.

One of the most impressive aspects of this landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -96 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and with minimal impact, reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft and its occupants. Furthermore, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. Overall, this landing showcases the pilot's expertise and ability to handle a variety of conditions, making it a successful and safe operation.
