The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza took off with a takeoff distance of 1,120 meters, which is 41% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 83 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern, it did so from runway 30, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile covered in 43 seconds. The right-hand pattern crosswind was also navigated with ease, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile covered in 20 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was executed with a distance of 1 nautical mile, and an angle to the runway of 69.4°. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long, and took 65 seconds to complete.

The base leg turn was another key maneuver, with a distance of 1 nautical mile covered, and an angle to the runway of 57.9°. The base leg itself was less than 1 nautical mile long, and took 19 seconds to complete. The final turn was also executed with precision, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 41 seconds.

The final approach to runway 30 was made from the south-east, with a heading of 301.0° at 0 nautical miles and 109 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was well above the target, at 83 knots. The touchdown distance was good, at 396 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good, at 62 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect, at -31 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269°, with a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 671 meters, which is 25% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight took 5 minutes to complete, using 2 kilograms of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, aligning itself with the runway heading of 301.0° at a mere 0 nm and 109 ft above ground level (agl). This precise control allowed the pilot to maintain a stable and controlled descent.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's altitude and airspeed. The threshold speed, however, was slightly above the target speed of 83 kt, suggesting that the pilot may have been slightly cautious in their approach. Nevertheless, this did not compromise the overall performance of the landing.

The touchdown distance of 396 m was well within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 62 kt was also satisfactory. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was a perfect -31 fpm. This indicates that the pilot had expertly managed the aircraft's descent, ensuring a smooth and controlled touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt from 269°. This minimal wind made it easier for the pilot to maintain control of the aircraft during the approach and landing. The crosswind and headwind components were negligible, further contributing to the smoothness of the landing.

The total landing distance of 671 m was only 25% of the runway length, demonstrating the pilot's exceptional control and precision. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase.

Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, showcasing a high level of proficiency and control. The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza performed admirably, and the pilot's expertise ensured a safe and successful landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport.
