Departure
Arrival
The flight in question was conducted in a DA40-XLS aircraft, which took off from a starting altitude of 310 feet above sea level. The enroute climb phase began overhead Monkton in South Ayrshire, Scotland, and during this time, the aircraft successfully climbed to an altitude of 964 feet above sea level, an increase of 654 feet in just 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
Following the climb phase, the aircraft entered the enroute level cruise phase, which also started overhead Monkton. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, coming in from the south east at a heading of 302.0 degrees and at an altitude of 204 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 46 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 361 meters, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -28 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.8 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 624 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was deemed very good. Notably, the aircraft used a total of -2 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which covered a distance of 3 nautical miles and took a total of 5 minutes to complete.

Flaps Position 1 at 21:24:13 |
The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 97.0%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 302.0° at an altitude of 204 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady course, aligning itself with the runway for a smooth touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 46 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 361 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown rate of -28 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and stability during the landing.
However, there were a few minor deviations from the ideal landing. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 65 knots, which may indicate a slightly late flare. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 meters from the centerline, which could be attributed to a minor deviation in the approach path.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even smoother. The total landing distance of 624 meters was 23% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the landing and rollout phases. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
