Top opportunity

Know your rotation speed

Departure Roll

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Flight narrative

The flight, operated by a PA28 Arrow III aircraft, began with a departure roll on Runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, covering a takeoff distance of 170 meters, which corresponds to 6% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 86 knots.

Upon lifting off, the pilot executed a left-hand pattern entry, making a turn that covered less than one nautical mile in 150 seconds. This was followed by a crosswind turn from the same direction, completing the maneuver in less than one nautical mile in just 26 seconds. Subsequently, the pilot flew downwind, making a turn that covered approximately 3 nautical miles with an angle of 45 degrees relative to the runway, and an altitude loss of 6.3 degrees.

In the downwind leg, the pilot flew approximately one nautical mile close to the runway threshold, covering the distance in 14 seconds. Upon completing this leg, the pilot turned towards the runway, initiating the final approach from the north-west, at a heading of 121.0 degrees and an altitude of 633 feet above ground. As the aircraft flew towards the runway, the threshold height was slightly above target, but the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 82 knots.

Upon touch down on Runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, which has a length of 2737 meters, the touch-down point was found to be 212 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 57 knots, which was considered to be good, and the touch-down rate was -49 feet per minute, which was perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 225 degrees, which resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. On landing, the runway was found to be misaligned by 5.7 meters from the centerline.

The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1091 meters, which corresponds to 40% of the runway length. The roll-out alignment of the aircraft on the runway was found to be very good. The entire flight, including takeoff, flight pattern, and landing, covered a distance of 5 nautical miles and lasted for 6 minutes, during which time the aircraft used 104 kilograms of fuel.

Landing Summary

The PA28 Arrow III aircraft demonstrated a high degree of proficiency during its landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The pilot performed the approach and landing with a high level of skill, achieving a final approach score of 95.5%. This indicates that the pilot's technique and adherence to standard operating procedures were nearly flawless.

During the final approach, the pilot brought the aircraft onto the runway 12 at EGPK from the north west, heading 121.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 633 feet above ground level (agl). This was a precise and controlled approach, taking into account the aircraft's speed and the runway environment. Upon arrival, the pilot landed the aircraft on the runway, which had a length of 2,737 meters.

Upon touching down, the pilot's speed (57 kt) was within the acceptable range, but somewhat lower than the target value. The aircraft's rate of descent was, however, spot on, at a perfect -49 fpm. This suggests that the pilot had a good sense of spatial awareness and spatial orientation, which enabled them to manage the aircraft's speed and descent rate accurately.

While the touchdown point was slightly beyond the touchdown zone (212 meters), the landing distance (1,091 meters) represented only 40% of the available runway. This indicates that, despite the brief over-run, the pilot successfully managed the landing without compromising the safety and integrity of the aircraft.

It is worth noting that the runway touchdown position was slightly off-center, deviating by 5.7 meters from the center line. While this is not ideal, it did not appear to have any significant impact on the success or safety of the landing. The local weather conditions, including a temperature of 20°C and a relatively light wind of 3 kt at 225°, were not extreme and did not pose any significant challenges to the pilot.

Overall, the pilot's performance during the landing can be considered excellent, with only minor deviations from the target standards. The high score of 95.5% confirms that the pilot's proficiency is at an exceptionally high level, and their flying skills are well-suited to the demands of professional aviation.
