Touchdown 396 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 2.40 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Departure Climb 2 — bank angle up to 13.1 ° at 71 %, −0.88 points
Departure Roll — Liftoff speed was 82 kt at 87 %, −0.35 points
Departure Climb 1 — g force 0.28 to 0.35 g at 94 %, −0.15 points

Next time

Departure

Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.

What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 1.6°, more roll than the climb out called for.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb

See Departure 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 81 kt with 2.6° 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.

Every check met from 4 nm to the threshold.

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.

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 crosswind

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

Wind 270° at 1 kt · 1 kt tail · 0 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.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 54 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 396 m in, 92 m past the ideal 305 m.

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.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 440 fpm at 54 ft to 100 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 4.9° on the way down.

How to read this

Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, with the Sierra C24R aircraft taking off after a distance of 181 meters, which accounted for 7% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 82 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Monkton, South Ayrshire, Scotland, rising from an altitude of 415 feet above sea level to 1,899 feet, an increase of 1,485 feet in just 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles, starting 1 mile southwest of Dreghorn, North Ayrshire, Scotland.

The final approach to runway 12 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 121.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,244 feet above ground level, and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed on the runway, which had a length of 2,737 meters, and the threshold height was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 76 knots.

The touchdown distance was good, measuring 394 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 57 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent, with a rate of -89 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as during takeoff, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.

The total flight distance was 12 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 9 minutes, during which the aircraft used 5 kilograms of fuel.
