Arrival
This flight was conducted in an Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen, a lightweight aircraft designed for exploration and adventure. The flight began with an enroute climb from a starting altitude of 50 feet above sea level (asl) to a height of 982 ft asl, a significant increase of 932 ft in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This rapid ascent showcased the aircraft's impressive climb capabilities.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, where it maintained a steady altitude for 2 minutes while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This phase allowed the aircraft to reach a stable cruising altitude, preparing it for the final approach to the destination airport.
The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was conducted from the west, with the aircraft heading 106.0° at an altitude of 291 ft agl and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold. The approach was characterized by a good threshold height, with the aircraft maintaining a safe distance from the ground.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 22 kt, with a touchdown distance of 381 meters. The touchdown rate was an impressive -57 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 2 kt from 270°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 kt, while the tailwind was 2 kt, contributing to a smooth and stable approach.
The total landing distance was 444 meters, which accounted for only 16% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft landed safely and efficiently, with a perfect runway rollout alignment. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, which was completed in 5 minutes, and the aircraft used a relatively small amount of fuel, just 1 kg.
Overall, this flight demonstrated the Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen's impressive capabilities, including its rapid climb rate, stable cruising altitude, and smooth landing performance. The pilot's skill and precision were evident throughout the flight, making it a successful and efficient operation.

The Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen, a lightweight, single-engine aircraft, successfully landed at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) on runway 12. The pilot executed a precise final approach from the west, aligning with the runway at a heading of 106.0° and a distance of 1 nautical mile (nm) from the threshold. At an altitude of 291 feet above ground level (agl), the aircraft demonstrated excellent control and stability.
Upon reaching the threshold, the pilot maintained a steady speed of 45 knots, adhering to the recommended threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 381 meters was within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown speed of 22 knots was also satisfactory, and the rate of descent was impressive, with a negative rate of -57 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to control the descent effectively.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 444 meters was only 16% of the runway length, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the aircraft performed well within its capabilities. The pilot's score of 92.5% reflects the high standard of the landing, and it is clear that the Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen is a capable and reliable aircraft.
