The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a PA28 Warrior II, accelerated down the 501-meter runway, covering 18% of its length. The takeoff speed was reached at 78 knots, marking the point at which the aircraft lifted off the ground.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions consisting of a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 3 knots from a direction of 272 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The aircraft then leveled off at a cruise altitude, flying overhead Monkton in South Ayrshire, Scotland, for a brief period of 5 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 136.0 degrees and an altitude of 169 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the 2,737-meter runway, with the threshold height being excessively high at 123 feet above ground level and the threshold speed being excessively high at 93 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft came to rest 502 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 55 knots and a touchdown rate of -194 feet per minute, both of which were considered good. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.0 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.7 meters from the centreline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 3 knots from a direction of 231 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,901 meters, covering 69% of the runway length. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, taking 10 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used no fuel during the flight.

The PA28 Warrior II aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 136.0° at 1 nm and 169 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 12, which has a length of 2,737 meters.
However, there were some issues with the landing. The threshold height at 123 ft agl was excessively over target, indicating that the aircraft was higher than it should have been at the point of touchdown. Additionally, the threshold speed was excessively high at 93 kt, which is above the recommended speed for landing. Despite these issues, the touchdown speed of 55 kt was good, and the touchdown rate of -194 fpm was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown point was 502 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant distance. This suggests that the aircraft may have been slightly too far back from the optimal touchdown point. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.0 meters from the centerline, which could have contributed to the long touchdown distance.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 3 kt at 231°. The crosswind was 3 kt, and the tailwind was 1 kt, which is relatively minimal. Despite these favorable weather conditions, the aircraft still experienced some difficulties with the landing.
The total landing distance was 1,901 meters, which is 69% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, and it suggests that the aircraft may have been slowed down too quickly or that the pilot may have been too far back from the optimal touchdown point. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 11.7 meters from the centerline, which could have contributed to the long landing distance.
Overall, while the PA28 Warrior II aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, there are some areas for improvement. The pilot should focus on reducing the threshold height and speed, as well as improving the touchdown point and runway alignment. With some practice and refinement, the pilot should be able to achieve a more optimal landing.
