Landing on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the Black Square Starship N45FL

Landing Score 93.94 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, Black Square Starship N45FL, successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its flight operations. The final approach to runway 12 was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 127.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,088 feet above ground level.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 116 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown point was 469 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. Despite this, the touchdown speed of 87 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -16 feet per minute was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 269°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which had a negligible impact on the landing operation. The runway length of 2,737 meters provided a sufficient margin for the aircraft to come to a stop, with the total landing distance being 1,499 meters, which is 55% of the runway length.

The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing operation was executed with a high degree of precision and control, demonstrating the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
