The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, a Beechcraft Duke, then departed from runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK). The takeoff distance was 486 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 95 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees.

The pilot then entered a left-hand pattern from runway 30, covering a distance of less than a nautical mile in 127 seconds. The pattern crosswind was also from the left, and the pilot navigated this section in just 17 seconds. The downwind turn was a significant part of the pattern, with the aircraft traveling 3 nautical miles at an angle of 3.0 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was short, lasting only 8 seconds and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile.

As the pilot began the final approach to runway 12, the aircraft was heading northwest at an altitude of 895 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The local weather conditions were similar to those during takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees.

The landing itself was smooth, with the pilot touching down 156 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 68 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect at -49 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,189 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight took approximately 6 minutes to complete. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, suggesting that the pilot was able to optimize the flight path and minimize energy expenditure. Overall, the flight was characterized by smooth and controlled operations, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and judgment throughout.

Landing on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the Beechcraft Duke

Landing Score 97.48 %

Landing Summary

The Beechcraft Duke aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 97.5%. The final approach to runway 12 was conducted from the north-west, with a heading of 122.0° at 2 nautical miles and 895 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a good threshold speed of 98 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 156 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 68 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -49 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The total landing distance of 1,189 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is a respectable achievement considering the aircraft's size and weight.

The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing, ensuring a safe and stable rollout. Overall, the Beechcraft Duke's landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, and the aircraft's capabilities.
