Arrival Final 1

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a PA38 Tomahawk, successfully took off after covering a distance of 107 meters, which accounted for 4% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 56 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 3 knots from a direction of 224 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.

As the aircraft climbed to a higher altitude, it began its enroute climb overhead Monkton, a location in South Ayrshire, Scotland. During this phase, the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 183 feet above sea level to a height of 486 feet, representing an increase of 304 feet in just one minute. The climb also covered a distance of one nautical mile. Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started overhead Mossblown, another location in South Ayrshire, Scotland. This phase lasted for four minutes and covered a distance of less than one nautical mile.

The final approach to runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was initiated from the south-east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 300 degrees at an altitude of 493 feet above ground level and a distance of one nautical mile from the runway. The approach was characterized by good threshold height and threshold speed, which were both recorded at 64 knots.

The landing on runway 30 was successful, with the aircraft touching down after covering a distance of 447 meters. The touchdown speed was recorded at 45 knots, and the touchdown rate was an excellent -55 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind blowing at 3 knots from a direction of 224 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.

The flight came to an end after covering a total distance of three nautical miles, which was achieved in six minutes. The aircraft used a total of 41 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the PA38 Tomahawk
Landing Score 96 %
Landing Summary

The PA38 Tomahawk aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a score of 96.0%. The final approach to runway 30 was conducted from the south east, with the aircraft heading 300.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 493 feet above ground level (agl).

The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a suitable distance of 447 meters. The threshold speed was also well-managed, reaching 64 knots, which is a good indicator of the pilot's control and ability to maintain a stable approach. The touchdown speed of 45 knots was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent and speed.

One of the standout aspects of this landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -55 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the pilot was able to smoothly and gradually bring the aircraft down to the runway, minimizing the impact on the landing gear and reducing the risk of damage. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot had a clear understanding of the aircraft's position and trajectory during the final approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 224°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was a negligible 1 knot. These conditions would have made the landing relatively straightforward, but the pilot's skill and experience were still essential in executing a safe and successful touchdown. Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of proficiency and control, with the pilot successfully navigating the aircraft to a safe and controlled touchdown.
