What went well

Touched down at -130 fpm — a soft arrival
Straight touchdown — 0.97 m off the centreline, no bounce
Flare on profile — 100 %

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold height at 141 ft agl was excessively over target at 0 %, bank angle up to 16.8 ° at 61 %, −3.42 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 659 m at 78 %, −0.51 points
Departure Climb 1 — bank angle up to 7.6 ° at 93 %, −0.30 points

Next time

Departure

Use coordinated aileron input to level the wings and hold bank angle close to wings-level during the climb.

What happened: During the initial climb, your average bank angle drifted to 3.1°.

Watch for: Attitude indicator, bank angle near wings-level

See Departure Climb 1

Arrival

Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 141 ft agl.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 141 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 659 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.

Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

Flight narrative

The Diamond DA40 taxied to runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft accelerated for a take-off distance of 395 m, representing 13 % of the available runway, and lifted off at 70 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, giving a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.

After departure, the pilot entered a left-hand pattern on runway 30, covering a distance of less than 1 nm in 19 seconds.

The aircraft then proceeded to the left-hand crosswind leg of the pattern, again traveling less than 1 nm and requiring 27 seconds to complete the segment.

During the downwind turn, the aircraft described a 1 nm arc with a 45-degree entry angle to the runway and a measured heading of 156.4°.

The downwind leg that followed was less than 1 nm in length and was flown in 17 seconds.

Subsequently, the base-leg turn was executed over a 1 nm distance, with the aircraft aligning to the runway at a 45-degree entry angle of 0.1°.

The final approach culminated in a landing on runway 30, whose total length is 2,978 m. The threshold height at 141 ft AGL was noted as excessively over target, while the threshold speed of 74 kt was within expectations. Touchdown occurred 214 m beyond the designated touchdown zone at a speed of 52 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 130 fpm and excellent runway alignment. Weather at the time remained 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, providing a 1 kt cross-wind and a 2 kt head-wind component.

Rollout distance measured 758 m, equivalent to 25 % of the runway, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment throughout the deceleration phase.

In total, the flight covered 3 nm, took 3, and consumed 0 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Diamond DA40 approached runway 30 at EGPK in calm conditions, temperature 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 269° with a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind.

During the threshold and flare the aircraft crossed the threshold at a height of 141 ft AGL, which was noted as excessively over target, while the threshold speed of 74 kt was recorded as good.

Touchdown occurred 214 m beyond the designated touchdown zone; the aircraft’s speed at touchdown was 52 kt, rated good, and the vertical rate was a smooth -130 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was described as very good.

The rollout covered a total distance of 758 m, representing 25 % of the 2 978 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.

To improve the score, the crew should aim to achieve the target threshold height and reduce the touchdown point distance to bring the landing closer to the intended zone.
