The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The aircraft, a PA38 Tomahawk, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 66 kt, requiring a takeoff distance of just 22 meters, which is only 1% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 5 kt from a direction of 270 °. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 kt and a headwind of 4 kt.
After taking off, the pilot entered a left-hand pattern, navigating the aircraft around the airport. The entry into the pattern was smooth, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nm in just 18 seconds. As the pilot continued with the pattern, a left-hand crosswind turn was executed, which took approximately 25 seconds to complete and covered a distance of less than 1 nm. The pilot then proceeded to the downwind leg, where a turn was made to align the aircraft with the runway. This turn covered a distance of 1 nm and involved a change in direction of 81.1 °.
The downwind leg itself was 2 nm long and took 85 seconds to complete. Following this, the pilot initiated the base leg turn, which covered a distance of 1 nm and involved a change in direction of 16.9 °. With the aircraft now aligned with the runway, the pilot began the final approach, descending from an altitude of 211 ft agl and heading towards the runway at a speed of 68 kt. The approach was made from the south east, with the aircraft aligned with the runway at a heading of 300.0 °.
The landing itself was smooth, with the aircraft touching down 94 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 36 kt, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -22 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing remained the same as they were at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind blowing at 5 kt from a direction of 270 °.
In terms of the flight's performance, the total distance covered was 5 nm, and the flight took a total of 5 minutes to complete. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, indicating that the pilot had executed the flight with precision and control. Overall, the flight was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent flying skills and control of the aircraft throughout the entire flight.

The PA38 Tomahawk aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 97.9%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading directly towards the runway 30, which is 2,737 meters long. The aircraft's altitude at 0 nautical miles from the runway was 211 feet above ground level (agl), indicating a precise and controlled descent.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, at a distance of 94 meters. However, this deviation was not significant, and the touchdown speed of 36 knots was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -22 feet per minute (fpm) was also perfect, demonstrating a smooth and controlled landing. Furthermore, the runway touchdown alignment was spot on, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 5 knots from the west (270°). The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a high score of 97.9%.
