What went well

Touched down at -113 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 1.83 m off the centreline, no bounce
1.13 G at touchdown — inside band

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, Threshold height at 70 ft agl was well above target at 66 %, −2.80 points
Departure Climb 2 — bank angle up to 11.2 ° at 76 %, −0.67 points
Departure Roll — Strobe Lights at 0 %, −0.64 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 6°, more roll than the climb out called for.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb

See Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 108 fpm.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.

Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 90 fpm.

See Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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

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: 3.5° here, which is about 370 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 60 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.

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 33 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 20 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Inside the speed band all the way, between +3 kt and +7 kt on the approach speed of 65 kt.

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

No crosswind: nothing to correct for. Touched down with the nose 2° right of the track, wings level.

Wind 270° at 1 kt · 1 kt head · 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.

The stop

From 53 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 22 s, an average deceleration of 0.06 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.

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. The Cessna C182 aircraft accelerated down the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 63 kt. The takeoff distance was 50 m, which is 2% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb overhead Monkton, a location in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The climb started from an altitude of 217 ft above sea level and reached a height of 279 ft asl, an increase of 63 ft in just 2 minutes. The aircraft covered a distance of less than 1 nm during this climb phase.

The final approach to runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was initiated from the south east, with the aircraft heading 301.0° at an altitude of 221 ft above ground level. The approach was made at 0 nm from the runway threshold, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading and altitude.

The landing on runway 30 was executed smoothly, with the touchdown point located 202 m beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 54 kt, which is considered good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -111 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.

The total landing distance was 1,094 m, which is 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline during the rollout phase. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at the time of departure, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 270°.

The total flight distance was 2 nm, and the flight duration was 4 minutes. The aircraft used 9 kg of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly and efficiently, with the aircraft performing well in the given weather conditions.
