The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, a DA40-NG, then departed from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The takeoff distance was 308 meters, which is 11% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 66 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Monkton, South Ayrshire, Scotland. The climb began at an altitude of 1,038 feet above sea level and increased to 2,426 feet, a total increase of 1,387 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then started overhead Loans, South Ayrshire, Scotland, and lasted for 20 minutes, covering a distance of 26 nautical miles.
The enroute descent began 2 miles northwest of Faifley, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland, and involved a descent from 2,747 feet above sea level to 261 feet, a total decrease of 2,486 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23 at EGPF Glasgow International Airport was made from the northeast, heading 227.0 degrees at 0 nautical miles and 226 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 23 at EGPF Glasgow International Airport was successful, with a touchdown point 230 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 57 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -69 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from 225 degrees.

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at EGPF Glasgow International Airport, achieving a score of 95.1%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, aligning with the runway 23 heading of 227.0° at an altitude of 226 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown speed of 57 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was also excellent, at -69 feet per minute (fpm). However, the threshold speed was slightly too high at 86 knots, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown.
The touchdown point was located 230 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance. This may be attributed to the pilot's decision to touch down slightly beyond the optimal point. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned by 4.9 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the landing roll.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 225°. The crosswind component was negligible, while the headwind component was 3 knots, which may have assisted the pilot in maintaining a stable approach.
The total landing distance was 1,046 meters, which is 44% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft effectively during the landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot achieving a good touchdown speed and rate, and a short landing distance. However, there were some minor deviations from the optimal approach and landing parameters, which may be addressed in future training or practice.
