The aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with the registration NI22PC, successfully landed at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) on runway 12. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 119.0° at an altitude of 634 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision, achieving a good threshold height and a touchdown speed of 78 kt, which was within the acceptable range.
The touchdown point was 72 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown rate of -21 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 3 kt from 227°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 kt, and the tailwind component was even less at 1 kt. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
The total landing distance of 891 meters was 33% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and aligned path during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The aircraft's performance was consistent with the expected standards for a Piper Aerostar 600, and the pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
