This flight was conducted in a Cessna C182 aircraft, starting with an enroute climb from a low altitude of 69 feet above sea level (asl) to a higher altitude of 957 ft asl. The climb was rapid, with an increase of 888 ft in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This impressive climb rate allowed the aircraft to quickly gain altitude and reach a suitable cruising altitude.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This brief cruise phase was likely used to stabilize the aircraft at the desired altitude and prepare for the final approach to the destination airport.
The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was conducted from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 122.0° at an altitude of 577 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude for landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 51 knots, which was well within the target range. The touchdown distance was also good, at 413 meters, and the touchdown rate was excellent, at -65 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 5.9 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of the flight were mild, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°. There was no significant crosswind or tailwind component, which made the landing conditions favorable.
In terms of performance, the flight was relatively short, covering a total distance of 5 nautical miles in 6 minutes. The aircraft used a moderate amount of fuel, at 2 kilograms, which is consistent with the short flight duration. Overall, the flight was characterized by a smooth and controlled climb, cruise, and landing, with good performance and handling characteristics.

The Cessna C182 aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 98.1%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 122.0° at 2 nautical miles and 577 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, with a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe altitude before touching down.
Upon landing, the aircraft's threshold speed was significantly above the target speed, reaching 68 knots. This suggests that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and was able to maintain a safe speed during the landing. The touchdown distance of 413 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's speed and control during the landing.
The touchdown speed of 51 knots was also good, indicating that the pilot had successfully slowed the aircraft down to a safe speed before touching down. The touchdown rate of -65 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, suggesting that the pilot had a high degree of control over the aircraft's descent and was able to maintain a smooth and stable landing.
However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft touching down 5.9 meters off the centerline. This may be due to a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs or a minor error in navigation. Despite this, the landing was still considered successful, and the pilot's overall performance was highly rated.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both minimal, at 1 knot each, which suggests that the pilot did not have to contend with significant wind shear or turbulence during the landing. Overall, the pilot's performance was impressive, and the landing was considered a success.
