MY FS FLIGHTS
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza taking to the skies. The aircraft required a takeoff distance of 504 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The liftoff speed was achieved at 86 knots, marking the start of the flight.
As the aircraft climbed, it began its enroute climb overhead Monkton, a location in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The climb was impressive, with the aircraft rising from 546 feet above sea level to 361 feet in less than a minute, covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. This rapid ascent showcased the capabilities of the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza.
After the enroute climb, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, coming in from the southwest at a heading of 57.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 282 feet above ground level and was 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing was notable for several reasons. The threshold height was excessively over target, and the threshold speed was too high at 97 knots. However, the touchdown point was 644 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which was a significant distance. The touchdown speed of 64 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -22 feet per minute was perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good.
The total landing distance was 1,340 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind of 1 knot at 270 degrees, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 1 knot.
In conclusion, the flight was a successful one, with the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza performing well in various aspects. The aircraft's climb and descent capabilities were impressive, and the landing was smooth and controlled. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.

The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The aircraft's final approach to runway 12 from the south west was executed at a heading of 57.0°, with a height of 282 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing itself was satisfactory, with a touchdown speed of 64 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -22 feet per minute (fpm) was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and accurate approach.
However, there were some issues with the landing. The threshold height at 189 ft agl was excessively over target, indicating that the pilot may have descended too quickly or too late. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 97 kt, which could have put the aircraft at risk of exceeding the recommended landing speed.
The touchdown point was 644 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant distance. This could be attributed to the excessive over-target threshold height and the high threshold speed. The total landing distance of 1,340 meters was 49% of the runway length, which is relatively high.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 kt at 270°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 kt, which is minimal and should not have significantly impacted the landing.
Overall, while the landing was satisfactory in some respects, there were areas for improvement, particularly with regards to the threshold height and speed, and the touchdown point.
