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 began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a Piper PA28 Turbo Arrow IV, accelerated down the 2,737-meter runway and lifted off at a speed of 96 kt. The takeoff distance was 578 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a wind speed of 2 kt from 270 °, resulting in a headwind of 2 kt.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 30, with a distance of less than 1 nm covered in 44 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in a similarly short distance of less than 1 nm, taking just 18 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was executed at an angle of 102.9 ° to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nm. The downwind leg itself was 2 nm long and took 45 seconds to complete.

The base leg turn was another 1 nm in distance, with the aircraft turning at an angle of 12.2 ° to the runway. The final approach to runway 30 was made from the south-east, with the aircraft heading 300.0 ° at an altitude of 261 ft above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nm from the runway. The landing was executed with a threshold speed of 76 kt, and the touchdown point was 54 meters beyond the touchdown zone.

The touchdown speed was 57 kt, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was an excellent -60 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 °C and a wind speed of 3 kt from 224 °, resulting in a crosswind of 3 kt and a headwind of 1 kt. The total landing distance was 862 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway.

The total flight distance was 5 nm, and the flight took 4 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 104 kg of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly and efficiently, with the aircraft performing well in the given weather conditions.

Landing Summary

The Piper PA28 Turbo Arrow IV successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its operation. The aircraft's final approach to runway 30 from the south east, heading 300.0°, was executed at a height of 261 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a threshold speed of 76 knots being achieved. The touchdown point was located 54 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 57 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -60 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 224°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind component of 3 knots and a headwind of 1 knot, which did not significantly impact the landing.

The total landing distance of 862 meters was 31% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. This is a testament to the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skill in executing a controlled and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating a high level of precision and control during the landing phase.

Overall, the landing of the Piper PA28 Turbo Arrow IV at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was a success, with the aircraft performing well and the pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its operation.
