The flight began with the departure roll from runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a Black Square Starship N45FL, accelerated down the 1,090-meter runway, covering 40% of its length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 143 knots, marking the start of the flight.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it entered a right-hand pattern, navigating the airspace around the airport. The entry into the pattern was swift, with the aircraft completing the initial turn in less than 1 nautical mile in just 31 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn, also to the right, was completed in 20 seconds, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.

The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind leg, where it turned at an angle of 24.6 degrees relative to the runway. This turn covered a distance of 4 nautical miles, bringing the aircraft into position for the final approach. The downwind leg itself was short, lasting just 12 seconds as the aircraft covered less than 1 nautical mile.

The final approach to runway 12 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport was made from the north-west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 117.0 degrees and an altitude of 539 feet above ground level. The approach was made at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold.

The landing itself was smooth, with the aircraft touching down 589 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 87 knots, and the rate of descent was perfect at -35 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, being 3.5 meters off-centerline.

The total landing distance covered 60% of the runway's length, at 1,636 meters. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, indicating a well-executed landing. The flight itself was relatively short, covering a total distance of 8 nautical miles and lasting 7 minutes. The aircraft used 36 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the Black Square Starship N45FL

Landing Score 88.85 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, Black Square Starship N45FL, successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving an impressive score of 88.8%. The final approach to runway 12 was initiated from the north-west, with a heading of 117.0° at 1 nautical mile and 539 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating a well-executed descent.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on the runway at a speed of 87 kt, which was slightly below the threshold speed of 118 kt. The touchdown point was located 589 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. However, the touchdown rate was perfect at -35 fpm, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline, but this did not appear to have a significant impact on the overall landing performance.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a light wind of 2 kt at 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, and the tailwind component was 2 kt, which may have contributed to the slight overrun. Despite this, the total landing distance of 1,636 meters was only 60% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.

The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively. Overall, the landing performance of the Black Square Starship N45FL was impressive, with a high score and a well-executed touchdown.
