The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, EGPK. The aircraft, an M500, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 666 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 100 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it followed a curved path that took it less than 1 nautical mile in 104 seconds. Upon completing the pattern entry, the aircraft proceeded to the downwind leg, where it turned to the left, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 21 seconds. The downwind turn itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, with the aircraft banking at an angle of 45 degrees relative to the runway. The downwind leg was short-lived, lasting only 14 seconds as the aircraft began its final approach to runway 12.

The final approach was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 119 degrees and flying at an altitude of 539 feet above ground level. The approach was made at a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold. Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, covering a distance of 450 meters. The touchdown speed was 73 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was also perfect, at -44 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating from the centerline by 5.6 meters.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,007 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, which was covered in 7 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 12 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was characterized by smooth and controlled operations, with the aircraft performing well in various phases of flight.

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, an M500, successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing technique. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 119.0° at an altitude of 539 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway.

The aircraft's approach speed and threshold height were both well within acceptable limits, with a threshold speed of 87 knots and a good threshold height. This suggests that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to configure it for a smooth and controlled approach.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 73 knots, which is a good indication of a controlled and stable landing. The touchdown distance of 450 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had a good sense of the aircraft's speed and was able to slow it down smoothly.

One area for improvement noted in the report was the runway touchdown position, which was slightly misaligned by 5.6 meters from the centerline. However, this did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 269°. This suggests that the pilot had to contend with a very light crosswind, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the touchdown position.

Overall, the landing performance of the M500 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was excellent, with a score of 98.7%. The pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and proficiency in their approach and landing technique, and the aircraft performed well in a variety of conditions.
