This flight was conducted in a Ryan Navion B Red Stripe aircraft, a small, single-engine plane. The flight began with a brief level cruise phase, lasting only 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 1 nautical mile (nm) while flying overhead Monkton in South Ayrshire, Scotland.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 12 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK), which is located in Scotland. The approach was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 120.0°. At this point, the aircraft was at an altitude of 70 feet above ground level (agl) and had not yet begun its descent onto the runway.
Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft landed safely on runway 12, which is 2,737 meters in length. The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it touched down on the runway. The threshold speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft should be traveling as it crosses the runway threshold, was 67 knots (kt). The touchdown distance, which is the distance between the point where the aircraft touches down on the runway and the point where it comes to a stop, was 315 meters, which is considered good.
The touchdown speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft touches down on the runway, was 60 kt. The touchdown rate, which is the rate at which the aircraft is descending as it touches down on the runway, was -14 feet per minute (fpm), which is considered perfect. The runway touchdown alignment, which refers to the alignment of the aircraft with the runway as it touches down, was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of the flight were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 kt from a direction of 270°. The crosswind, which is the wind blowing perpendicular to the runway, was 1 kt, while the tailwind, which is the wind blowing in the same direction as the aircraft is traveling, was 2 kt.
The total landing distance, which is the distance between the point where the aircraft begins its descent onto the runway and the point where it comes to a stop, was 680 meters, which is 25% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment, which refers to the alignment of the aircraft with the runway as it comes to a stop, was perfect.
Overall, the flight was characterized by a safe and controlled landing, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a good speed and coming to a stop in a short distance. The total flight distance was 1 nm, and the flight used 2 kg of fuel.

The Ryan Navion B Red Stripe aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills. The final approach to runway 12 was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 120.0° at 0 nm and 70 ft above ground level (agl). This precise approach allowed the pilot to maintain control and navigate the aircraft towards the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 60 kt, which was slightly below the threshold speed of 67 kt. This indicates that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to slow down smoothly before touchdown. The touchdown distance of 315 m was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 270°. This minimal wind allowed the pilot to maintain a stable approach and landing. The crosswind component was negligible at 1 kt, and the tailwind component was 2 kt, which had a minimal impact on the aircraft's performance.
The total landing distance of 680 m was only 25% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to bring it to a stop quickly and safely. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot achieving a score of 99.2%. This high score reflects the pilot's exceptional skills and ability to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently.
