The flight began with the Boeing C17 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. This process took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 30, with a takeoff distance of 221 meters, which accounted for 8% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 51 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind of 1 knot each. The aircraft then entered a right-hand pattern from runway 30, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 15 seconds.

As the aircraft continued its right-hand pattern, it encountered a crosswind from runway 30, which it navigated in just 5 seconds. The pattern then proceeded with a downwind turn, covering a distance of 0 nautical miles and an angle of 118.2 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was completed in just 5 seconds.

The base leg turn was the next phase of the pattern, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile and an angle of 91.2 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was completed in 11 seconds, after which the aircraft began its final turn. This final turn was completed in 35 seconds, bringing the aircraft into position for its final approach.

The final approach to runway 30 was made from the south-east, with the aircraft heading 303.0 degrees at an altitude of 0 nautical miles and 216 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 30 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 401 meters and a touchdown speed of 37 knots. The touchdown rate was an excellent -95 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind and headwind were again negligible, at 1 knot each. The total landing distance was 499 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.

The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, which was completed in 5 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was characterized by a smooth and controlled takeoff, a precise and efficient pattern, and a successful landing.

Landing on runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the Boeing C17

Landing Score 84.18 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing C17 aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving an impressive score of 84.2%. The final approach to runway 30 was conducted from the south east, with the aircraft heading 303.0° at 0 nm and 216 ft above ground level (agl). This precise approach was crucial in ensuring a safe and controlled landing.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a distance of 401 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed of 37 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown rate of -95 feet per minute (fpm) was particularly impressive, demonstrating excellent control and precision.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is essential for a safe and controlled landing. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270°. This minimal wind made it easier for the pilot to navigate the aircraft onto the runway.

The total landing distance of 499 meters was 18% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and speed, and had made a precise approach to the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.

Overall, the Boeing C17 aircraft's landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases. The aircraft's performance was impressive, and the landing was completed safely and efficiently.
