Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

A Microsoft flight simulator aircraft, a PA-28-236 Dakota, was used for this flight. The flight began with taxiing from the parking to the runway, a process that took 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile (nm). Once on the runway, the aircraft took off from runway 02 at EGCB City Airport Manchester, requiring a takeoff distance of 305 meters, which is 66% of the runway.

The local weather conditions at takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 3 kt at 18 °. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 70 knots. The climb began overhead Swinton, a Manchester landmark, where the aircraft transitioned from a height of 853 feet above sea level to 911 feet above sea level, an increase of 57 feet, in less than 1 minute. The enroute climb phase covered less than 1 nm.

The aircraft then entered a level cruise, maintaining a constant altitude, starting overhead Walkden in the City and Borough of Salford, England. This phase lasted for 12 minutes and covered 4 nm. After completing the cruise phase, the aircraft began its descent from overhead Urmston in Trafford, England, decreasing its altitude from 1,093 feet above sea level to 205 feet above sea level, a total decrease of 888 feet, in 2 minutes. This phase covered 2 nm.

The descent phase transitioned into a final approach to runway 02 at EGCB City Airport Manchester. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading towards it at a precise 17.0 °. The aircraft's altitude was 130 feet above ground level at 0 nm from the runway.

The landing on runway 02 at EGCB City Airport Manchester was successful. The runway length is 462 meters, and the threshold height was good. However, the threshold speed was a little below target at 62 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 99 meters. The touchdown speed at 59 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -88 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions during landing were the same as at takeoff - a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 3 kt at 16 °. The airport's runway and surrounding areas experienced no adverse crosswind or headwind effects. A total landing distance of 215 meters, which is 47% of the runway length, indicated an efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill in navigating the aircraft.

The final phase of the flight, taxiing to the parking from the runway, took 3 minutes and covered less than 1 nm. The overall flight distance was 8 nm, and the flight lasted 23 minutes. The aircraft used 7 kg of fuel throughout the flight.

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, a PA-28-236 Dakota with registration FRNGS, successfully completed a landing at EGCB City Airport Manchester, displaying exceptional piloting skills. As the aircraft began its final approach to runway 02 from the south, heading 17.0° at a distance of 0 nm and an altitude of 130 ft agl, the pilot executed a precise and controlled descent.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 59 kt, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 62 kt. However, this minor discrepancy did not affect the overall outcome of the landing, as the touchdown distance of 99 m was well within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -88 fpm was also impressive, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and rate of descent.

The landing distance of 215 m, equivalent to 47% of the runway length, was a testament to the pilot's exceptional skill and control. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a high level of control and situational awareness throughout the landing.

The local weather conditions also played a favorable role in the landing, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle crosswind of 3 kt at 16°. The headwind of 3 kt helped to offset the remaining crosswind, making the landing conditions relatively stable and predictable.

In conclusion, the landing of the PA-28-236 Dakota with registration FRNGS at EGCB City Airport Manchester was a highly successful and well-executed performance, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills and control. The aircraft's ability to land safely and efficiently, despite minor deviations from the target threshold speed, is a credit to the pilot's professionalism and expertise.
