Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 690 m at 75 %, −0.43 points

Next time

Departure

Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 2.1°.

What happened: Bank angle was elevated during the initial climb and excess bank usually persists into the second climb segment.

Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with bank angle near zero degrees.

See Departure Climb 1Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Fly the flare as one continuous check of the sink rate from 22 ft, holding back pressure steadily rather than adjusting pitch piecemeal.

What happened: The flare drifted away from its intended profile rather than tracking it smoothly from 22 ft down to touchdown.

Watch for: Watch radio altitude and VSI through the flare, aiming to arrest the sink smoothly from 22 ft to touchdown.

See Arrival Landing

A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

Landing Score 95.33 %
Landing Summary

The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 95.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 300.0° at 0 nm and 110 ft above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled descent, with the pilot maintaining a steady heading and altitude.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 30, which has a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height at 58 ft agl was slightly above the target, suggesting a minor deviation from the ideal approach path. However, the threshold speed of 89 kt was significantly above the target, indicating a high level of control and precision from the pilot.

The touchdown point was located 254 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 66 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -100 fpm was smooth, indicating a controlled and gentle touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain a stable and aligned approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. Overall, the pilot's performance was exceptional, and the landing was executed with precision and control.
