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 EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a PA28 Archer II, accelerated down the 300-meter section of the runway that made up 11% of its total length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 68 knots, marking the start of the takeoff phase.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, providing a relatively stable environment for the climb.

The enroute climb phase began overhead Monkton, a location in South Ayrshire, Scotland, where the aircraft transitioned from a low altitude of 558 feet above sea level to a higher altitude of 640 feet, an increase of 82 feet in less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, also starting overhead Monkton, and lasted for 2 minutes, during which it covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. This phase allowed the aircraft to stabilize at a consistent altitude and airspeed, conserving fuel and maintaining a steady pace.

As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, coming in from the north-west at a heading of 117.0° and at an altitude of 358 feet above ground level, approximately 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold.

The landing phase was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 49 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 64 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, at 304 meters, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -1 foot per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 4 meters.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as during the takeoff phase, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind of 2 knots from a direction of 270°, resulting in a crosswind component of 1 knot and a tailwind component of 2 knots.

In conclusion, the flight was completed in a total distance of 3 nautical miles, taking approximately 4 minutes to complete, and used 1 kilogram of fuel. The flight was executed smoothly, with a good balance of climb, cruise, and descent phases, and a successful landing on the designated runway.

Landing report
Landing on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the PA28 Archer II
Landing Score 97.37 %
Landing Summary

The PA28 Archer II aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 97.4%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 117.0° at 1 nautical mile and 358 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on runway 12.

The runway at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport has a length of 2,737 meters, providing a sufficient distance for the aircraft to touch down and come to a stop. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 64 knots, which may be a minor concern for the pilot.

The touchdown distance of 304 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The touchdown speed of 49 knots was also reported as good, suggesting that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown rate of -1 foot per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without any significant impact.

However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft touching down 4.0 meters off the centerline. This may be a minor concern for the pilot, but it did not appear to have any significant impact on the safety of the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were reported as follows: a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions were relatively calm and did not appear to pose any significant challenges for the pilot during the landing. Overall, the PA28 Archer II aircraft demonstrated good handling and control during the landing, achieving a high score and a safe touchdown.
