The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with registration NI22PC, successfully took off. The takeoff distance covered 530 meters, which is 19% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 100 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 269 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb overhead Monkton, a location in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The climb was steep, with the aircraft rising from 922 feet above sea level to 2,128 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This impressive climb rate allowed the aircraft to quickly gain altitude and continue on its journey.

After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent 1 mile north of Loans, another location in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The descent was equally impressive, with the aircraft dropping from 2,135 feet to 634 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This controlled descent allowed the aircraft to maintain a safe and stable altitude as it approached its destination.

The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 115 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 581 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 76 knots and a touchdown distance of 300 meters. The touchdown rate was excellent, at -72 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.1 meters.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 270 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the aircraft was experiencing a tailwind of 2 knots. Overall, the flight was a success, with the aircraft completing a total distance of 10 nautical miles in 6 minutes and using 8 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the A2A Piper Aerostar 600 NI22PC

Landing Score 99.29 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with registration NI22PC, successfully landed at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) with a score of 99.3%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 115.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 581 feet above ground level (agl).

The pilot executed a precise landing on runway 12, which has a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 95 knots, indicating a well-controlled approach. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits at 300 meters, and the touchdown speed was 76 knots, which is a safe and controlled speed for landing.

One notable aspect of the landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -72 feet per minute (fpm), which is a testament to the pilot's skill and control. However, there was a slight deviation from the centerline, with the runway touchdown position being 3.1 meters off-center. This minor deviation may be attributed to the slight tailwind of 2 knots, which could have affected the aircraft's alignment during the final approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. Overall, the pilot's performance was commendable, and the landing was executed with precision and control.
