Next time

Departure

Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 1.6°.

What happened: Bank angle was elevated during the initial climb and excess bank usually persists into the second climb segment.

Watch for: Attitude indicator, wings level with bank angle near zero degrees.

A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

From brake release to the end of the climb, against time, then the takeoff point by point.

Lifted off at 50 kt with 5.5° of pitch.

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.

How to read this

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.

At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set.

When the approach was stable

Every check met from 0.8 nm, about 350 ft above the runway, to the threshold, after the 500 ft gate.

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° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 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.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 35 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band from 2.4 nm, where the final began, to 2.1 nm, then fast to 1.1 nm (up to +27 kt), then inside the band to the threshold.

How to read this

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 figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.

The stop

From 50 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 13 s, an average deceleration of 0.09 g.

How to read this

Your ground speed from the moment the wheels touched until you were down to taxi speed, against the distance rolled. A steep line is hard braking, a shallow one a long, gentle roll. For scale, an airliner's lowest autobrake setting decelerates at about 0.15 g, a medium one about 0.3 g. Shown for reading; not marked.

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.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a PA38 Tomahawk, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 50 kt. The takeoff distance was 42 m, which accounted for only 2% of the runway's total length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 3 kt from a direction of 228 °.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Monkton in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The climb was steep, with the aircraft rising from an altitude of 164 ft above sea level to 1,005 ft in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nm. This rapid ascent was followed by a brief period of level cruise, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nm. The cruise phase took place 1 mile northwest of Monkton.

The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading towards the runway at a bearing of 121.0 ° and an altitude of 708 ft above ground level. However, the pilot decided to execute a go-around at an altitude of 0 ft above ground level, which brought the flight back to the enroute phase.

The landing was eventually made on runway 12, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 50 kt. Although the touchdown speed was slightly above the target, the touchdown distance of 372 m was considered good, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 3 kt from a direction of 228 °.

The total landing distance was 658 m, which accounted for only 24% of the runway's total length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 9 nm, and the flight duration was 15 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 39 kg of fuel during the flight.
