The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The aircraft, a DA42-VI, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 89 kt, covering a distance of 618 m, which was 23% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt from a direction of 270 °, resulting in a negligible headwind or crosswind component.
After takeoff, the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern, turning onto the downwind leg from runway 30. The distance covered during this turn was less than 1 nm, and it was completed in 73 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn from the downwind leg to the base leg was also a right-hand turn, and it was completed in just 11 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nm. The downwind turn itself covered a distance of 4 nm, with an angle to the runway of 42.4 °.
As the aircraft approached the runway, it began its final approach from the north-west, heading 118.0 ° at an altitude of 878 ft above ground level (agl) and a distance of 2 nm from the runway threshold. The landing was made on runway 12, which had a length of 2,737 m. The threshold height at 73 ft agl was well above the target, and the threshold speed was too high at 86 kt.
The aircraft touched down 191 m beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 63 kt was good, and the touchdown rate of -83 fpm was excellent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt from a direction of 270 °, resulting in a negligible tailwind component.
The total flight distance was 7 nm, and the flight duration was 7 minutes. The aircraft used 4 kg of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was characterized by a smooth and controlled departure, a precise and efficient pattern, and a good landing.

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving an overall score of 85.2%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 118.0° at 2 nautical miles and 878 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 12, which has a length of 2,737 meters.
Upon analysis, it was noted that the threshold height at 73 feet agl was well above the target, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a safe altitude during the approach. However, the threshold speed was found to be too high at 86 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to make adjustments to reduce the speed and achieve a more optimal touchdown.
The touchdown point was located 191 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which may indicate that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and make adjustments to the approach as necessary. The touchdown speed of 63 knots was found to be good, and the touchdown rate of -83 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot, indicating minimal wind effects on the approach.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and decision-making skills throughout the approach and touchdown. However, there is room for improvement in terms of reducing the threshold speed and achieving a more optimal touchdown point.
