Next time

Departure

Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.

What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 7.6°, more roll than the climb out called for.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb

See Departure Climb 2

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.

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.

How to read this

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.

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.

The stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: no landing flap all the way.

How to read this

Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.

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: 3.5° here, which is about 370 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 60 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. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

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.

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 crosswind

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

Wind 270° at 2 kt · 2 kt head · 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 37 ft, 13 ft below the 50 ft target. Touched down 449 m in, 144 m past the ideal 305 m.

How to read this

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. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.

Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch.

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.
