This flight took place from Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) and commenced with ground handling, taking approximately one minute to taxi from the parking area to the runway, covering an incredibly short distance of less than one nautical mile.

As the flight departed Roll Runway 30, the takeoff distance was 816 meters, amounting to 30% of the available runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 117 knots, and the surrounding weather conditions included a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, a wind speed of 1 knot, and a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible headwind or crosswind component.

Transitioning to the enroute climb phase, the aircraft began its ascent approximately one mile southeast of Troon, Scotland, at an ambient airspeed of approximately 901 feet above sea level, gradually increasing to a height of 1,353 feet above sea level. This climb was accomplished within a remarkably short three-minute interval and over a distance of two nautical miles.

Upon establishing the descent profile, the aircraft commenced its final approach to Runway 12 at EGPK, approaching from a westerly heading at 3 nautical miles and 1,289 feet above ground level.

Upon executing the landing, the pilot successfully touched down on the runway with a speed of 67 knots. The touchdown point was found to be approximately 434 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone on the runway. The touchdown rate displayed a satisfactory performance, measuring -39 feet per minute. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly skewed by 5.4 meters away from the centre, the runway rollout alignment was found to be highly commendable.

Ultimately, this flight concluded with a total distance of 9 nautical miles, utilised 17 kilograms of fuel over an eight-minute interval, and effectively demonstrated the capabilities of the aircraft under specific weather conditions and operating protocols.

Landing Summary

Aircraft Landing Report: M500 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport

The pilot successfully executed a landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, with a final approach to runway 12 originating from the west. The aircraft maintained a heading of 101.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles while flying at 1,289 feet above ground level.

During the descent, the aircraft exhibited a good threshold speed, touching down at 86 knots. However, the aircraft landed slightly short of the threshold, with a height of 63 feet above ground level, above the target height. Nonetheless, the touchdown speed of 67 knots and the touchdown rate of -39 feet per minute (fpm) were both considered perfect, indicating a controlled and smooth landing.

Upon further analysis, it was noted that the touchdown point was situated 434 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slightly long landing. Nevertheless, this was compensated by the total landing distance of 1,315 meters, which represented only 48% of the runway's length. This implies that the pilot made a good recovery and successfully utilized the available runway to bring the aircraft to a stop.

Another notable aspect of this landing was the runway rollout alignment, which was described as very good. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and aligned path during the rollout phase, ensuring a safer landing.

Local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C, and wind speeds of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in negligible crosswind and tailwind components. Overall, the landing was deemed successful, with an overall score of 89.6%.
