Arrival
This flight was conducted in a Beechcraft Duke aircraft, which took off from a location near Monkton in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The initial climb phase began at an altitude of 70 feet above sea level and reached a height of 365 feet above sea level in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This impressive climb rate demonstrates the aircraft's capabilities.
As the aircraft approached Glasgow Prestwick Airport, it began its final approach to runway 12 from the north-west. At this point, the aircraft was flying at an altitude of 312 feet above ground level and was 1 nautical mile away from the runway. The heading was set at 118.0 degrees, indicating a precise approach path.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 12, which has a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 105 knots. The touchdown point was 290 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 71 knots was considered good. The touchdown rate of 12 feet per minute was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from 269 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,190 meters, which is approximately 43% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing phase. Overall, the flight was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating its capabilities in terms of climb rate, approach precision, and landing performance.
In terms of fuel consumption, the flight used a total of 5 kilograms of fuel, which is a relatively small amount considering the flight distance of 3 nautical miles. The flight duration was 4 minutes, indicating a high level of efficiency and performance from the aircraft.

The Beechcraft Duke aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 96.4%. The final approach to runway 12 was conducted from the north-west, with a heading of 118.0° at 1 nautical mile and 312 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled approach, setting the stage for a smooth landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 71 kt, which is well within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was 290 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within the acceptable limits. The touchdown speed and rate were both excellent, with a rate of 12 feet per minute (fpm), demonstrating a high degree of control and precision.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 269°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, and the tailwind component was 2 kt, which had a negligible impact on the landing. The runway length of 2,737 meters provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely.
The total landing distance of 1,190 meters, which accounts for 43% of the runway, is a testament to the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skill. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control throughout the landing process. Overall, this landing was a success, with the Beechcraft Duke demonstrating its capabilities and the pilot showcasing their expertise.
