The flight in question 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 46 feet above sea level (asl) to a height of 1,047 ft asl, a significant increase of 1,001 ft in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile (nm). 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 nm. This phase allowed the pilot to assess the aircraft's performance and stability at a steady altitude.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, a major airport in Scotland. The approach was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 121.0° at an altitude of 236 ft above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nm from the runway. The pilot expertly guided the aircraft towards the runway, taking into account the local weather conditions, including a temperature of 15 °C, a wind speed of 2 kt at 270°, and a crosswind of 1 kt.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a distance of 281 m, well within the safe limits. The touchdown speed was a relatively low 20 kt, and the touchdown rate was an impressive -57 ft per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.
The flight was conducted in a variety of conditions, with a total distance of 3 nm covered in 4 minutes, using a remarkably low amount of fuel, at 0 kg. Overall, the flight showcased the Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen's impressive performance capabilities, its ability to navigate challenging weather conditions, and the pilot's exceptional skill and expertise.

The Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen, a lightweight, single-engine aircraft, successfully landed at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) on runway 12. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 121.0°, approximately 1 nautical mile away and at an altitude of 236 feet above ground level (agl).
The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions. The temperature was a moderate 15°C, and the wind was relatively light, blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 20 knots, which is well within the recommended threshold speed of 35 knots. The touchdown distance of 281 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -57 feet per minute (fpm) was particularly impressive, demonstrating excellent control and precision on the part of the pilot.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent approach path throughout the landing. Overall, the landing was deemed a success, with the aircraft coming to rest on the runway with minimal disruption or disturbance. The pilot's skill and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled execution of the landing, which resulted in a score of 100.0%.
