The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a score of 85.9%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 302.0° at 0 nm and 218 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 30.
The runway length at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport is 2,737 meters, providing a safe margin for the aircraft's landing. However, the threshold height at 84 ft agl was significantly above the target, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal approach path. Despite this, the threshold speed was good at 73 knots, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and adhere to standard procedures.
The touchdown distance of 409 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 57 knots was also good. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -91 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and with minimal impact, reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft and minimizing the impact on the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 231°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the headwind component was even weaker at 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a stable and predictable approach, allowing the pilot to focus on executing a precise landing.
The total landing distance of 764 meters was 28% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and direction during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
