A aircraft flown M500 departed from runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, requiring a takeoff distance of 35 meters, which is only 1% of the runway. The liftoff speed was achieved at 105 knots. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, and a gentle wind of 3 kilometers per hour from a direction of 229 degrees.

Upon lifting off the ground, the pilot executed a left-hand traffic pattern entry from runway 12, completing this maneuver in a remarkably short distance of under 1 nautical mile in just 21 seconds. Following this pattern entry, the pilot then executed a left-hand pattern crosswind turn, which was completed even quicker, taking only 16 seconds to traverse a similar distance. The traffic pattern continued with a pattern downwind turn, where the aircraft banked and turned away from the runway at an angle of 64.1 degrees, requiring a distance of 1 nautical mile to execute this turn.

The aircraft then proceeded on the downwind leg of the pattern, flying a distance of 4 nautical miles over the course of 105 seconds. At the end of this leg, the pilot turned onto the base leg, making a 2-nautical-mile turn at an angle of 8.6 degrees relative to the runway. The final approach to runway 12 was then made from a heading of 115.0 degrees, initially flying at 1 nautical mile's distance and at an altitude of 264 feet above ground level.

Upon completing the final approach, the aircraft touched down on the runway, utilizing the correct speed and distance required for a successful landing. The threshold height was good, the threshold speed was achieved at 89 knots, and the touchdown distance came in at a mere 428 meters. The touchdown speed of 72 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -75 feet per minute was excellent. However, it's worth noting that the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centerline. Nevertheless, the local weather remained pleasant, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 3 kilometers per hour from the same direction as before.

In the end, the total landing distance worked out to 895 meters, which is only 33% of the available runway length. Additionally, the runway rollout alignment was very good, showcasing the pilot's skill and finesse in executing a smooth and controlled landing. Overall, the total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, taking about 6 minutes to complete, and the pilot successfully utilized -80 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The Aircraft M500 recently landed at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, EGPK, with a near-perfect score of 99.4%. The aircraft made its final approach from the north-west, flying at a heading of 115.0°, 1 nautical mile out at an altitude of 264 feet above ground level.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 12 with a good threshold height and achieved an optimal threshold speed of 89 knots. It's worth noting that the touchdown distance of 428 meters was acceptable and within the expected parameters. The touchdown speed of 72 knots was also ideal.

One area for minor improvement is the runway touchdown position, which was slightly off-center by 4.3 meters from the centerline. Despite this, the landing was otherwise very impressive. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were ideal, with a temperature of 20°C, wind speed of 3 knots, and a gust direction of 229°.

The slight tailwind of 1 knot had a negligible impact on the landing, ensuring a stable descent. The total landing distance of 895 meters, at 33% of the runway length, showcases the aircraft's impressive control and maneuverability. Furthermore, the run-up alignment after landing was extremely good, underscoring the pilot's exceptional skills.

All in all, this landing demonstrates the Aircraft M500's exceptional performance and the pilot's expertise in navigating challenging conditions.
