This flight was executed on a Piper M500 aircraft from Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK). The takeoff began with a short taxiing period of less than 60 seconds and a very short distance of under a nautical mile. The departure roll occurred on runway 30 with a takeoff distance of 732 meters, which is approximately 27% of the runway length. The liftoff speed achieved by the aircraft was 106 knots, allowing it to safely climb upwards.

The local weather at the time of departure and landing featured a moderate temperature of 16 °C and minimal wind speeds ranging from 0 to 1 knot. The direction of the wind changed slightly from 270 ° to 269 ° during landing, indicating a very subtle variation in wind direction between the two instances. The aircraft faced no issues related to the wind, with its crosswind and head/tailwind conditions both being at 1 knot.

The enroute climb started approximately 1 mile west of Monkton, where the aircraft began to ascend from an initial altitude of 1,015 feet above sea level. In just under a minute and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile, the aircraft successfully climbed up to 1,525 feet above sea level, thus covering an altitude difference of 510 feet. This climb took place from a relatively low starting altitude to a slightly higher one, showcasing the agility and maneuverability of the Piper M500 aircraft.

The enroute level cruise started immediately after the climb, taking place overhead Loans in South Ayrshire, Scotland. This level flight phase lasted for a short duration of 4 minutes, covering an additional distance of 2 nautical miles. This phase contributed to the overall efficiency and smoothness of the flight.

The final approach and landing phase, on the other hand, took place as the aircraft flew towards the north west of the airport. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level, preparing it for touchdown. The landing, which occurred on runway 12, was executed with great precision. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target of 96 knots at 75 kt, with an excellent touchdown rate of -24 feet per minute and good runway touchdown alignment. The final landing location turned out to be 77 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone.

The post-landing phase showed excellent performance as the M500 aircraft continued to roll out, maintaining very good runway alignment throughout. The total landing distance came out to be 1,085 meters or approximately 40% of the available runway length, making it an efficient execution.

The overall flight distance, covering both legs, turned out to be 9 nautical miles, and the entire operation took around 9 minutes to complete. The aircraft used an estimated 20 kilograms of fuel during the entire flight, indicating a moderate fuel efficiency.

Landing on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the M500

Landing Score 97.95 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft M500 successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport on runway 12, achieving an impressive score of 98.0%. The approach to the runway began from the north-west at a heading of 121.0°, 3 nautical miles away at an altitude of 1,261 feet above ground level.

During the final approach, the aircraft's alignment and control were precise, with the threshold height being adequately met. Although the threshold speed of 96 kt was slightly higher than the target, it did not hinder the overall performance.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft made contact with the runway at a speed of 75 kt, which is well within the acceptable limits, and exhibited a perfect rate of descent at -24 ft per minute. Moreover, the runway-touchdown alignment was exceptionally good, reflecting the pilot's exceptional skills.

Local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and negligible wind speeds of 1 kt from 269°. This minimized the challenge of crosswind and tailwind, which were both 1 kt. Notably, the total landing distance covered was 1,085 meters, accounting for only 40% of the runway length.

During post-touchdown phase, the aircraft's rollout alignment on the runway was equally impressive, demonstrating the pilot's expertise in handling the aircraft. The successful landing and its exceptional execution reflect not just the efficiency of the aircraft but also the skill and experience of the pilot behind the controls.
