Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the aircraft, a GA-8 Airvan CAP Commuter, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. This process took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 30, with a takeoff distance of 536 meters, which is 20% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed was 84 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft then entered a right-hand pattern from runway 30, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 19 seconds.

As the aircraft continued its right-hand pattern, it encountered a crosswind from runway 30, which it navigated in 7 seconds. The pattern then proceeded with a downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 76.5 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 70 seconds.

The aircraft then began its base leg turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 59.8 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 22 seconds. The final turn was completed in 24 seconds, after which the aircraft began its final approach to runway 30 from the south-east, heading 303.0 degrees at an altitude of 135 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 30 was successful, with the touchdown point located 49 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 50 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -77 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 4 minutes. The aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was characterized by smooth and controlled operations, with the aircraft navigating the right-hand pattern and landing successfully on runway 30.
