The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a PA28 Arrow III, successfully took off after covering 824 meters, which is 30% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 73 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
After taking off, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This brief cruise phase took place overhead Monkton, a location in South Ayrshire, Scotland.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, which was located to the north-west. The aircraft was at an altitude of 170 feet above ground level and was heading in a direction of 138.0 degrees, with a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 12 was successful, with the aircraft touching down after covering a distance of 230 meters. The touchdown speed was 57 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -43 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.7 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 293 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 4 knots.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 2 nautical miles and used 103 kilograms of fuel. The flight was completed in 2 minutes, indicating a relatively short and efficient flight.

The PA28 Arrow III aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a score of 90.5%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 138.0° at an altitude of 170 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 12, which has a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 66 knots, which may be a minor concern for the pilot.
The touchdown distance of 230 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. The touchdown speed of 57 knots was also within acceptable limits, suggesting that the pilot managed to slow the aircraft down effectively. The touchdown rate of -43 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without any excessive deceleration.
However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 5.7 meters off-centerline. This may be a minor issue that the pilot can work on to improve their landing accuracy.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 293°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 4 knots. These conditions were favorable for the landing, and the pilot was able to execute a smooth touchdown despite the slight misalignment.
