The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza took off with a takeoff distance of 1,143 meters, which is 42% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 84 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 341 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 12, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile covered in 34 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind turn was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 16 seconds. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 65.9 degrees, and the downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 65 seconds.

The pattern base leg turn was another 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 68.7 degrees, and the base leg itself was covered in less than 1 nautical mile in 34 seconds. The final turn was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 40 seconds, after which the aircraft began its final approach to runway 12 from the north-west, heading 120 degrees at an altitude of 0 nautical miles and 76 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 12 was successful, with a threshold height that was good and a threshold speed that was slightly above the target at 82 knots. The touchdown distance was 375 meters, which is good, and the touchdown speed was 62 knots, also good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -56 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centreline.

The total landing distance was 769 meters, which is 28% of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, taking 6 minutes, and the aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza

Landing Score 98.92 %

Landing Summary

The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 98.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 120.0° at an altitude of 76 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot maintained a steady course, ensuring a smooth final approach to runway 12.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a threshold speed slightly above the target at 82 knots. The touchdown distance of 375 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 62 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -56 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of precision and control.

However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft landing 4.3 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error, but it did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 341°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each, which contributed to a stable and controlled approach.

The total landing distance of 769 meters was 28% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza performed well during the landing, with a high score and minimal deviations from the ideal landing parameters.
