Landing on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the Beechcraft Duke

Landing Score 99.06 %

Landing Summary

The Beechcraft Duke successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a score of 99.1%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 119.0° at 1 nautical mile and 94.9 meters above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the final approach, resulting in a good threshold height.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target at 81 knots, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance. The touchdown distance of 187 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 68 knots was well within the desired range. The touchdown rate of -0.2 meters per second was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 170°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each, which further contributed to the smooth landing. The total landing distance of 526 meters was only 19% of the runway length, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control.

The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment throughout the landing process. Overall, the Beechcraft Duke's landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was a textbook example of precision and control, with the pilot achieving an exceptional score of 99.1%.
