The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, aligning with the runway 12 threshold at a heading of 122.0°, 2 nautical miles away and at an altitude of 729 feet above ground level (agl). This precise approach allowed the aircraft to touch down smoothly on the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 65 knots, which is well within the target range. The touchdown distance of 207 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The touchdown rate of -40 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, signifying a gentle and even landing. Furthermore, the runway touchdown alignment was spot on, ensuring a safe and stable landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance of 552 meters was only 20% of the runway length, demonstrating the aircraft's excellent braking performance.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's capabilities. The DA42-VI's performance in this scenario was exceptional, with a score of 99.8% indicating a near-perfect landing.
