Next time

Departure

Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.

What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 6.8°, more roll than the climb out called for.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb

See Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Lower the gear before the stabilisation gate, completing the landing checklist well ahead of final approach.

What happened: On final approach, the gear was not down in time for landing.

Watch for: Gear indicator: three greens confirmed before the gate

See Arrival Final 1

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 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with registration NI22PC, successfully took off. The takeoff distance covered 155 meters, which accounted for 6% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 106 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind were both 1 knot, indicating minimal wind resistance. The enroute climb started overhead Monkton, a location in South Ayrshire, Scotland, where the aircraft ascended from 363 feet above sea level to 480 feet, an increase of 118 feet in just 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nautical mile.

The final approach to runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was initiated from the south-east, with the aircraft heading 293.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 418 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 30, which had a length of 2,737 meters, was executed smoothly. The threshold height was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 98 knots.

The touchdown point was 237 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 71 knots was good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -137 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a precise landing. The local weather conditions during the landing were different from those during takeoff, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 228 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 1 knot.

The total landing distance covered 1,187 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. The aircraft used 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Score 91.17 %
Landing Summary

The aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with registration NI22PC, successfully landed at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) on runway 30. The pilot's performance was evaluated, and they achieved a score of 91.2%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 293.0° at 1 nautical mile and 418 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 237 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the target. However, the touchdown speed of 71 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -137 feet per minute (fpm) was also smooth, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 228°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the headwind component was 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the landing.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

The total landing distance of 1,187 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the wind conditions. Overall, the pilot's performance was satisfactory, and the landing was executed smoothly and safely.
