The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, EGPK. The aircraft, Sirius, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 271 meters, which is 10% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 72 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it followed a curved path, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 146 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was even shorter, with the aircraft covering less than 1 nautical mile in just 32 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was a significant maneuver, with the aircraft flying at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The downwind leg itself was brief, lasting only 6 seconds as the aircraft flew less than 1 nautical mile.

The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK was made from the north-west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 119.0 degrees and an altitude of 621 feet above ground level. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 37 knots. The touchdown distance was 431 meters, which is a good indication of the pilot's skill and control. The touchdown rate was also perfect, at -22 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 894 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.

The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 7 minutes. The aircraft used 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly and efficiently, with the pilot demonstrating good control and skill throughout the various phases of flight.
