The aircraft, an Airbus A320, began its journey on a departure roll from runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,280 meters, covering 47% of the runway, and the aircraft lifted off at a speed of 161 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were calm, with a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius and a gentle breeze blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

As the aircraft climbed, it first reached an altitude of 1,081 feet above sea level, then proceeded to gain 7,495 feet in just 2 minutes to reach a level cruise altitude of 8,576 feet. The enroute level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes, covered a distance of 4 nautical miles before the aircraft began its descent. The descent phase, which started 6 miles south-west of Saltcoats, involved a drop of 6,840 feet in 6 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles.

During the final approach to runway 12 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, the aircraft flew from the north-west, at a heading of 121.0 degrees, and at an altitude of 1,741 feet above ground level. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 122 knots, and the touchdown point was 252 meters beyond the touchdown zone, though the touch-down speed of 107 knots and the gentle touchdown rate of -125 feet per minute were both good.

Upon landing, the aircraft took 1,785 meters to come to a stop, covering 65% of the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was good, and the rollout alignment was very good, resulting in a smooth and controlled taxiing maneuver. The aircraft used a total of 480 kilograms of fuel during the 18-minute flight, which covered a distance of 24 nautical miles.

Landing on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the Airbus A320

Landing Score 95.63 %

Landing Summary

The Airbus A320 successfully completed a smooth landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a final score of 95.6%. The aircraft began its final approach to runway 12 from the northwest, aligning itself with a heading of 121.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles (nm) and an altitude of 1,741 feet above ground level (agl).

As the A320 touched down on the runway, it maintained a speed of 122 knots (kn), which was slightly above the target threshold speed. The touchdown point was located 252 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, although this was still considered acceptable given the circumstances. The touchdown speed of 107 kn was satisfactory, and the rate of descent was smooth, registering -125 feet per minute (fpm).

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle breeze of 1 knot (kt) at a direction of 269°. This resulted in minimal crosswind or tailwind components of 1 kt each. Considering the runway's length of 2,737 meters, the total landing distance of 1,785 meters was within acceptable limits, covering approximately 65% of the available runway.

Overall, the Airbus A320 demonstrated a high degree of proficiency in terms of touchdown alignment, runway rollback, and overall landing performance. The pilot's control and navigation skills were exemplary, with the runway touchdown alignment being "very good." Following touchdown, the aircraft maintained a consistent rollout alignment, further underscoring the pilot's expertise.
