What held you back

Departure Climb 2 — bank angle up to 21.4 ° at 49 %, −1.42 points

Departure Roll — Strobe Lights at 0 %, −0.56 points

Next time

Departure

Level the wings with coordinated aileron to hold bank angle near zero during the initial climb, starting from 4.6°.

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

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.

Lifted off at 81 kt with −1.4° 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

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 35 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at 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

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

Wind 269° 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 62 kt at touchdown to taxi speed (30 kt) in 11 s, an average deceleration of 0.17 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.

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.

Flight narrative

Departure from Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) commenced with a roll on runway 21, utilizing 65% of the available length to achieve liftoff. The Britten Norman Trislander BN2 required a takeoff distance of 1,186 meters to clear the obstacles, lifting off at a speed of 82 knots. Under local weather conditions of 16°C and a negligible headwind, the aircraft transitioned smoothly into the enroute climb phase.

As the aircraft climbed from 182 feet above sea level to 151 feet, a net increase of 30 feet was achieved within a minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This phase of the flight was characterized by a steady ascent, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent rate of climb. Upon reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft began its descent towards runway 30 at EGPK, approaching from the southeast at a heading of 303.0 degrees. The final approach was executed at an altitude of 98 feet above ground level, with the aircraft maintaining a steady state until touchdown.

The landing on runway 30 was executed within the available length of 2,737 meters, with a touchdown distance of 356 meters. Although the touchdown speed of 63 knots was slightly above the optimal value, the touchdown rate of -49 feet per minute was perfect, and the runway touchdown alignment was spot on. The total landing distance of 623 meters, accounting for 23% of the runway length, was satisfactory. Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out in perfect alignment, utilizing a total of 3 nautical miles of distance and consuming 17 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
