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 3.1°, more roll than the climb out called for.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb

See Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Make small rudder corrections to track the centreline, aiming at a point on the far end of the runway.

What happened: Heading drifted off the extended centreline during the final approach segment.

Watch for: Heading indicator against the runway centreline track.

See Arrival Final 1

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza took off into the sky. The aircraft required a takeoff distance of 1,433 meters, which was 52% of the available runway length. As the plane lifted off, it reached a liftoff speed of 96 knots.

As the aircraft climbed to a safe altitude, it leveled off and entered a cruise phase, flying overhead Monkton in South Ayrshire, Scotland. This enroute level cruise lasted for just 1 minute and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The local weather conditions during this time were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 340 degrees.

After completing the cruise phase, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The approach was made from the east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 268.0 degrees at an altitude of 194 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on the runway, which had a length of 2,737 meters.

The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a distance of 339 meters. The touchdown speed was a good 64 knots, and the touchdown rate was an excellent -86 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as during the cruise phase, with a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 340 degrees.

Landing Score 88.8 %
Landing Summary

The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving an impressive score of 88.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 268.0° at an altitude of 194 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 30, which has a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height at 59 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal approach. However, the threshold speed was well above the target at 84 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more stable approach.

The touchdown distance of 339 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent effectively. The touchdown speed of 64 knots was also within the acceptable range, further demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown rate of -86 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and accurate approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 340°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, which is relatively minimal and would not have significantly impacted the landing.

Overall, the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza's landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
