Top opportunity

Smooth the climb

Departure Climb 2

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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, a PA28 Archer II aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance was a mere 94 meters, which is just 3% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed was 62 knots, a relatively low speed for a PA28 Archer II, which is capable of reaching speeds of up to 123 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to a safe altitude, it leveled off and began its enroute level cruise. This phase of the flight lasted for just 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its descent, executing a go-around at an altitude of 0.0 meters above ground level (agl) before making a final approach to runway 12.

The final approach was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 122.0 degrees at an altitude of 27.2 meters agl and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 51 knots and a distance of 370 meters. The touchdown rate was perfect, at -0.2 meters per second, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The total landing distance was 659 meters, which is just 24% of the runway's total length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. The local weather conditions remained consistent throughout the flight, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270 degrees.

The flight was relatively short, covering a total distance of 3 nautical miles and lasting just 9 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight, a relatively small amount considering the PA28 Archer II's fuel capacity. Overall, the flight was a successful demonstration of the aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's skills.

Landing Summary

The PA28 Archer II aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills. The final approach was executed from the north-west, aligning with the runway 12 threshold at a heading of 122.0° and an altitude of 27.2 meters above ground level (agl) at 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft displayed a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 65 knots, which may be attributed to the pilot's cautious approach. Nevertheless, the touchdown distance of 370 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 51 knots was also satisfactory.

The touchdown rate of -0.2 meters per second was perfect, signifying a gentle and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing.

The total landing distance of 659 meters was 24% of the runway length, which is a reasonable and acceptable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, demonstrating the pilot's expertise and skill in handling the PA28 Archer II aircraft.
