Departure
Arrival
This flight was conducted in a Piper Aerostar 600 aircraft, registered as NI22PC. The aircraft taxied from the parking area to the runway in less than a minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK), with a takeoff distance of 469 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 100 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead Monkton, South Ayrshire, Scotland, and ascended from an altitude of 969 feet above sea level to 1,286 feet, an increase of 317 feet in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, with the aircraft flying overhead Loans, South Ayrshire, Scotland. The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 120 degrees at an altitude of 828 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 12 was successful, with the aircraft touching down 232 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 72 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -100 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.7 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at takeoff, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. The aircraft used 7 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with the registration NI22PC, successfully landed at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) on runway 12. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 120.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 828 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and control, as evident from the smooth touchdown and the adherence to the recommended approach speed.
Upon reaching the threshold height of 73 feet agl, the pilot was above the target height, indicating a slight overshoot. However, this was quickly corrected, and the aircraft maintained a steady descent. The threshold speed of 95 knots was also well within the recommended range, showcasing the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed effectively.
The touchdown point was located 232 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight overrunning of the runway. Nevertheless, the touchdown speed of 72 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -100 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing.
One notable aspect of the landing was the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 3.7 meters off-centerline. This may have been due to a combination of factors, including wind conditions and the pilot's judgment of the runway alignment. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and adherence to recommended procedures. However, there may be opportunities for improvement in terms of aligning the aircraft with the runway centerline and managing the touchdown point.
