The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza took off with a takeoff distance of 429 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 84 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 273 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind of 1 knot.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern, it covered a distance of 1 nautical mile in 28 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 22 seconds. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 62.4 degrees. The downwind leg itself took 65 seconds to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles. The base leg turn, which involved a distance of 1 nautical mile and an angle to the runway of 67.1 degrees, was completed in 31 seconds. The base leg itself was covered in less than 1 nautical mile in 31 seconds, and the final turn was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 23 seconds.

The final approach to runway 30 was made from the south-east, with a heading of 302.0 degrees at an altitude of 0 nautical miles and -18 feet above ground level. The landing on the runway was successful, with a threshold speed that was well above the target at 83 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 381 meters, and the touchdown speed was 63 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was perfect at -46 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 117 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 11 knots. The total landing distance was 700 meters, which accounted for 26% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.

The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, which was completed in 5 minutes. The aircraft used 103 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was characterized by a smooth and controlled departure, pattern, and landing, with good weather conditions and a well-executed approach and touchdown.

Landing Score 99.99 %

Landing Summary

The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 302.0° at 0 nm and -18 ft above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled descent onto the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 30, which has a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height was good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a safe and controlled approach. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 83 kt, which is a good indication of the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach.

The touchdown distance of 381 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The touchdown speed of 63 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -46 fpm was perfect, suggesting that the pilot managed the aircraft's descent smoothly and safely.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 11 kt from 117°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 kt and a tailwind of 11 kt, which the pilot successfully managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 700 meters was 26% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe and controlled approach.

Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a safe stop. Overall, this landing was a textbook example of a safe and controlled approach and landing, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the entire process.
