The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the DA40-XLS aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 269 meters, which is 10% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 64 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

After taking off, the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern from runway 30, completing the turn in less than 1 nautical mile in 24 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was also completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 20 seconds. The downwind turn was made at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 64 seconds to complete.

The base leg turn was made at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The base leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 23 seconds. The final turn was made in less than 1 nautical mile in 30 seconds, setting up the aircraft for a final approach to runway 30 from the south-east, at a heading of 302.0 degrees and an altitude of 234 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 30 was successful, with the threshold height being well above the target and the threshold speed being a little below the target at 60 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 393 meters, and the touchdown speed was 48 knots, which was good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -76 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees.

The total landing distance was 647 meters, which is 24% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, taking 6 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
