Top opportunity

Improve the takeoff

Departure Roll

The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a FlightDesign CT, took off with a takeoff distance of 76 meters, which is just 3% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 54 knots, indicating a smooth and efficient start to the flight.

As the aircraft climbed to a safe altitude, it encountered local weather conditions of 20 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 3 knots from a direction of 228 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions were favorable for the flight, allowing the aircraft to maintain a stable and controlled trajectory.

The enroute level cruise phase of the flight lasted for just 1 minute, during which the aircraft covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This brief period of steady flight was followed by a final approach to runway 12 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, which was initiated from a heading of 105 degrees and at an altitude of 407 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 12 was notable for its slightly misaligned touchdown point, which was 230 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 49 knots was a little fast, but the touchdown rate of -40 feet per minute was perfect. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.3 meters.

The total landing distance was 932 meters, which is 34% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centerline by 8.3 meters. Despite these minor deviations, the landing was successful, and the aircraft came to a stop without incident.

The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 4 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, indicating an extremely efficient and optimized flight profile.

Landing Summary

The aircraft, identified as FlightDesignCT, successfully landed on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 105.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 407 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed approach.

However, there were some areas for improvement during the landing. The threshold speed was excessively high at 82 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's configuration or the pilot's decision-making. Additionally, the touchdown point was 230 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 49 knots was slightly faster than ideal. Despite these minor issues, the touchdown rate was perfect at -40 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a light wind of 3 knots at 228°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the tailwind component was negligible at 1 knot. The runway length at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport is 2,737 meters, which provided a sufficient margin for the aircraft's landing distance.

The total landing distance was 932 meters, accounting for 34% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was well-controlled throughout the approach and landing phases. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's decision to maintain a steady course during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some minor areas for improvement. The pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills, but could benefit from refining their approach and landing techniques to achieve a more optimal touchdown speed and position.
