See 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

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza took off with a takeoff distance of 1,043 meters, which is 38% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 86 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 30, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile covered in 17 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 15 seconds, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The pattern downwind turn was executed with a distance of 1 nautical mile, and the aircraft maintained an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a heading of 108.3 degrees.

The downwind leg of the pattern was 2 nautical miles long and took 52 seconds to complete. The base leg turn was another 1 nautical mile, with the aircraft maintaining an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, this time with a heading of 10.9 degrees. The final approach to runway 30 was made from the south-east, with a heading of 299.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 319 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 30 was successful, with a touchdown point 77 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 61 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -60 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269 degrees.

The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, which was covered in 3 minutes, and the aircraft used 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly, with good control and adherence to the planned flight path.

Landing report
Landing on runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the Beechcraft Bonanza A36
Landing Score 98.4 %
Landing Summary

The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 98.4%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 299.0° at 1 nautical mile and 319 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled approach, with the pilot maintaining a steady course and altitude.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 30, which has a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a suitable altitude before touchdown. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 80 knots, which may indicate a slight delay in the pilot's decision to touch down.

The touchdown point was 77 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. Nevertheless, the touchdown speed of 61 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot managed to slow the aircraft down effectively. The touchdown rate of -60 feet per minute (fpm) was also excellent, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing.

The runway touchdown alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a straight course during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The high score of 98.4% reflects the pilot's skill and experience in navigating the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza to a safe and controlled touchdown at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport.
