This flight was conducted in an Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen aircraft, a lightweight and versatile plane. The flight began with an enroute climb from a starting altitude of 68 feet above sea level (asl) to 1,029 ft asl, a significant increase of 961 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The climb phase started overhead Monkton, a location in South Ayrshire, Scotland.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered an enroute level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered another 2 nautical miles. This phase allowed the aircraft to maintain a steady altitude and speed, likely preparing for the next phase of the flight.
The enroute descent phase began 1 mile east of Monkton and saw the aircraft descend from 1,056 ft asl to 197 ft asl, a decrease of 858 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This phase was crucial in preparing the aircraft for landing.
The final approach to runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was conducted from the south-east, with the aircraft heading at 302.0° and at an altitude of 138 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 26 knots, which was considered good.
The landing distance was 376 meters, which was deemed good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -45 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 269°, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 438 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled rollout after landing. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight used -1 kilogram of fuel, indicating a fuel-efficient flight.

The Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen, a pioneering aircraft, successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport on runway 30. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 302.0° at an altitude of 138 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions.
The temperature at the time of landing was 15°C, with a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from 269°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The aircraft's touchdown speed was 26 knots, which is considered good, and the touchdown distance was 376 meters, also within acceptable limits.
However, there were some minor deviations from the target parameters. The threshold height at 59 feet agl was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 51 knots. Despite these minor discrepancies, the pilot managed to achieve a perfect touchdown rate of -45 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the aircraft maintained perfect rollout alignment after touchdown. The total landing distance was 438 meters, which is only 16% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot executed a precise and controlled landing, minimizing the use of the runway and ensuring a safe and efficient operation.
Overall, the landing of the Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
