Next time

Departure

Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 3.5°.

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.

See Departure Climb 1Departure Climb 2

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.

Lifted off at 80 kt with 2.9° 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.

Rolled from 216 m in, never more than 1.3 m off the centreline. Airborne 19 % of the way down the runway, before the 75 % line.

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.

Profile height against the 3° glideslope, with its 2° band in green.

Inside the glideslope band from 0.8 nm, where the final began, to the threshold, never more than 120 ft above the slope.

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.

Inside the 1° band all the way from 0.8 nm, never more than 97 m off the centreline.

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.

Fast from 0.8 nm, where the final began, to 0.6 nm (up to +23 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 crosswind

Little crosswind (1 kt): nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° left of the track, wings level.

Wind 269° at 2 kt · 2 kt tail · 1 kt across

How to read this

The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.

The stop

From 50 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 13 s, an average deceleration of 0.08 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 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, with the Sierra C24R aircraft taking off smoothly. The takeoff distance was 336 meters, which accounted for 12% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 81 knots, indicating a successful and efficient takeoff.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots from the west. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind was 2 knots, providing a stable and predictable environment for the climb.

The enroute climb began overhead Monkton, a small town in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 454 feet above sea level to 195 feet, an increase of 260 feet in just 2 minutes. This impressive climb rate covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile, demonstrating the aircraft's exceptional performance.

As the aircraft approached the final approach to runway 12 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, it was heading northwest at 122.0 degrees and at an altitude of 130 feet above ground level. The aircraft was at 0 nautical miles from the runway, indicating a precise and controlled approach.

The landing on runway 12 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 50 knots. The touchdown distance was 149 meters, which was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was perfect at -49 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions during the landing were 20 degrees Celsius and a wind of 3 knots from the southwest. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the tailwind was 1 knot, providing a challenging but manageable environment for the landing.

The total landing distance was 417 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the flight used 0 kilograms of fuel, suggesting an extremely efficient and well-executed flight.
