See Pattern Downwind Turn

The 45-degrees-behind-the-wing cue assumes you can turn your head and use peripheral vision. Downwind spacing cues like "put the wingtip halfway up the strut" assume a fixed, known eyepoint. Neither survives a monitor unmodified. If you fly on a fixed monitor, stop pretending and fly a numbers-based circuit.

Flight narrative

The flight was conducted in a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza aircraft. Taxiing from the parking area to the runway took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than one nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, with a takeoff distance of 353 meters, which is 13% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 79 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 271 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The pilot then entered a left-hand pattern from runway 30, covering a distance of less than one nautical mile in 15 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 20 seconds, also covering a distance of less than one nautical mile.

The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, which covered a distance of one nautical mile and involved a turn of 45 degrees, resulting in an angle to the runway of 111.9 degrees. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of two nautical miles in 49 seconds. The base leg turn was then completed, covering a distance of one nautical mile and involving a turn of 45 degrees, resulting in an angle to the runway of 12.0 degrees.

The final approach to runway 30 was made from the south-east, with a heading of 301.0 degrees at an altitude of 292 feet above ground level and a distance of zero nautical miles from the runway. The landing was conducted on runway 30, which has a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 86 knots.

The touchdown distance was good, covering a distance of 354 meters. The touchdown speed was also good, at 64 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth, at -122 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.2 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot.

The total flight distance was six nautical miles, and the flight took four minutes to complete. The aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing report
Landing on runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the Beechcraft Bonanza A36
Landing Score 97.65 %
Landing Summary

The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 97.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 301.0° at an altitude of 292 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. This indicates a precise and controlled approach, with the pilot maintaining a steady heading and altitude.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 30, which has a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height was good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 86 knots. This may indicate that the pilot was slightly cautious or took a more conservative approach to ensure a safe landing.

The touchdown distance of 354 meters was good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft and made a smooth transition from the air to the ground. The touchdown speed of 64 knots was also within acceptable limits, suggesting that the pilot managed to slow the aircraft down effectively. The touchdown rate of -122 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating that the pilot maintained a steady and controlled descent.

One area for improvement was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline. This may indicate that the pilot was not perfectly aligned with the runway or that there was some crosswind component that affected the aircraft's trajectory. However, given the overall high score and smooth touchdown, this minor deviation is unlikely to have had a significant impact on the safety of the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°. This suggests that the pilot had favorable conditions for landing, with minimal wind resistance or turbulence. Overall, the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza demonstrated excellent handling and control during the landing, achieving a high score and a smooth touchdown.
