Arrival
The flight in question was conducted in a DA40-XLS aircraft, which took off from a location near Monkton in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The enroute climb phase began at an altitude of 60 feet above sea level and reached a height of 1,272 feet above sea level in just one minute, resulting in a significant increase of 1,211 feet. This climb was achieved while covering a distance of less than one nautical mile.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it entered the enroute descent phase, which started at an altitude of 1,277 feet above sea level and descended to 269 feet above sea level over a period of two minutes. This descent resulted in a decrease of 1,008 feet in altitude and covered a distance of one nautical mile.
The final approach to runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) was conducted from the south-east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 302.0 degrees at an altitude of 211 feet above ground level and a distance of zero nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 30 was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 47 knots and a distance of 365 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly below the target speed of 62 knots, but the touchdown distance and rate were both considered good.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, indicating a very calm and stable atmosphere. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting a high degree of precision and control during the landing phase.

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 99.8%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, aligning with the runway 30 heading of 302.0°. At the point of landing, the aircraft was at an altitude of 211 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a distance of 365 meters. This is a good indication of the pilot's control and ability to manage the aircraft's descent. The touchdown speed of 47 knots was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's speed during the landing phase.
One notable aspect of the landing was the threshold speed, which was slightly below the target speed of 62 knots. However, this did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown rate of -30 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was brought to a smooth stop on the runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a stable and controlled approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°. This minimal wind made it easier for the pilot to control the aircraft during the landing phase.
Overall, the landing of the DA40-XLS at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was a successful and well-executed maneuver, demonstrating the pilot's skill and expertise in handling the aircraft.
