The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, EGPK. The aircraft, a Sting S4, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 56 knots. The takeoff distance was 158 meters, which accounted for 6% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the town of Monkton in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 70 meters above sea level to 39 meters above sea level, an increase of 30.3 meters in just 1 minute. This climb was achieved while covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK was made from the west, with the aircraft heading 101.0 degrees at an altitude of 23.5 meters above ground level and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 65 knots.
The touchdown point was 327 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 42 knots, which was also too fast. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -0.3 meters per second. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind blowing at 3 knots from a direction of 287 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots.
The total landing distance was 913 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases. The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 2 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight.

The aircraft in question, a Sting S4, successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 101.0° at an altitude of 23.5 meters above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft touched down on runway 12, which has a length of 2,737 meters.
Upon landing, the threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was too high at 65 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further before touchdown, potentially resulting in a smoother landing. The touchdown point was 327 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant distance. The touchdown speed of 42 knots was also too fast, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further before touchdown.
Despite these issues, the touchdown rate was excellent at -0.3 meters per second, indicating a controlled and stable descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or during the landing roll.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 287°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 3 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment during the landing roll.
The total landing distance was 913 meters, which is 33% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but the runway rollout alignment was reported as perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing roll and bring it to a stop safely. Overall, while there were some areas for improvement, the pilot demonstrated good control and stability during the landing, and the aircraft was brought to a safe stop.
