Improve the pattern crosswind leg

Pattern Crosswind

Each lap slightly wider and higher than the last, because you're unconsciously using the previous lap as your reference instead of the runway and the numbers. Invisible lap to lap, unmistakable across ten. This is the failure that only measurement catches, because your memory of lap three is gone by lap eight.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a PA28 Archer II, successfully took off in a distance of 101 meters, which is 4% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 63 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.

After takeoff, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern, navigating the circuit in a timely manner. The left-hand pattern entry from runway 12 was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 31 seconds, while the left-hand pattern crosswind leg was covered in less than 1 nautical mile in 22 seconds. The downwind leg of the pattern spanned 3 nautical miles in 114 seconds, followed by a base leg turn with an angle of 41.8° to the runway. The base leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 26 seconds, and the final turn was accomplished in less than 1 nautical mile in 9 seconds.

The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 12 from the north-west, maintaining a heading of 120° at an altitude of 22.4 meters above ground level (agl). The landing was executed successfully, with a threshold speed of 68 knots and a touchdown speed of 51 knots. The touchdown distance was 463 meters, which is a good indication of the pilot's skill and control. The touchdown rate was also perfect at -0.2 meters per second.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.1 meters from the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 716 meters, which is 26% of the runway length. The aircraft used a total of 2 kilograms of fuel for the flight, which covered a distance of 6 nautical miles and took approximately 6 minutes to complete.

Landing on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the PA28 Archer II
Landing Score 98.79 %
Landing Summary

The PA28 Archer II aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 98.8%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 120.0° at an altitude of 22.4 meters above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated excellent control, achieving a threshold speed of 68 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 463 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 51 knots was within the recommended limits, and the touchdown rate of -0.2 meters per second was perfect, signifying a smooth and controlled landing.

However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 4.1 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment may have been due to the crosswind or tailwind conditions, which were present during the landing. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots.

The total landing distance of 716 meters was 26% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure considering the aircraft's size and the landing conditions. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
