Next time

Departure

Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 3.5°.

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.

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.

Lifted off at 80 kt with 2.9° of pitch.

How to read this

Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then.

The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length.

How to read this

The roll from above, with your left at the top. The line is where the wheels went, and "widest" is the furthest you drifted off the centreline. Lifting off before the amber 75 % line gets full marks for the roll length. The arrow beside the runway is the crosswind, pointing the way the air was moving, so it pushed the aircraft that way.

How to read this

Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 305 m past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 0.9 nm, never more than 121 m off the centreline.

How to read this

Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 35 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 0.9 nm, where the final began, to 0.6 nm (up to +23 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

How to read this

Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.

The crosswind

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° left of the track, wings level.

Wind 270° at 2 kt · 2 kt tail · 1 kt across

How to read this

The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.

The stop

From 53 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 17 s, an average deceleration of 0.08 g.

How to read this

Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.

The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 1,524 m across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 305 m in.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, with the Sierra C24R aircraft taking off after a distance of 501 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 80 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Monkton, a location in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 469 feet above sea level to 200 feet above sea level, an increase of 269 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The climb was swift and efficient, demonstrating the capabilities of the Sierra C24R aircraft.

The final approach to runway 12 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 122.0 degrees at an altitude of 136 feet above ground level and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The approach was carefully executed, setting the stage for a smooth landing.

The landing itself was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 51 knots and a distance of 148 meters, which was 17% of the runway length. The touchdown speed was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -63 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had expertly controlled the aircraft during the final stages of the approach.

Following the landing, the aircraft underwent a smooth rollout, with perfect alignment on the runway. The total landing distance was 454 meters, which was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were similar to those at the time of takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.

In conclusion, the flight was a success, with the Sierra C24R aircraft performing well in a variety of conditions. The pilot's skills were evident throughout the flight, from the takeoff to the landing, and the aircraft's performance was impressive. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight used 0 kilograms of fuel, indicating that the aircraft was operating efficiently.
