This flight was conducted in an AA-5B aircraft, registered as N28655. The aircraft taxied from the parking area to the runway in less than a minute, covering a distance of less than one nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK), with a takeoff distance of 269 meters, which is 10% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 72 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 30, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 82 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 20 seconds.

The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind turn, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was short, covering less than 1 nautical mile in just 2 seconds. The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 111.0 degrees at an altitude of 465 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.

The landing on runway 12 was successful, with the aircraft touching down 92 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 38 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -14 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.2 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.

The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 4 minutes. The aircraft used 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The aircraft, AA-5B with registration number N28655, successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport with a high level of precision. The final approach was conducted from the west, aligning with the runway 12 at a heading of 111.0°, approximately 1 nautical mile away and at an altitude of 465 feet above ground level.

The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,737 meters, at a speed of 38 knots. This touchdown speed is well within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 92 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within the acceptable limits.

The aircraft's touchdown rate was impressive, with a rate of -14 feet per minute, demonstrating a perfect control of the descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.2 meters, which may require some adjustments in the approach or landing technique to achieve a more precise alignment.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which is relatively minor and should not have significantly impacted the landing.

Overall, the landing of AA-5B at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was a success, with a high level of precision and control demonstrated throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
