The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, EGPK. The aircraft, a Sierra C24R, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 190 meters, which accounted for 7% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 65 knots, marking the start of the flight.

As the aircraft entered the local airspace, it encountered a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The pilot then initiated a left-hand pattern entry from runway 30, navigating a distance of 2 nautical miles in 147 seconds.

The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in a remarkably short distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 21 seconds. The pilot then executed a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a bank angle of 10.5 degrees. The downwind leg itself was brief, lasting less than 1 nautical mile in 6 seconds.

The final approach to runway 12 was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 125 degrees and an altitude of 138.8 meters above ground level. The pilot then lined up for a landing on the 2,737-meter-long runway, with a threshold speed of 67 knots and a good threshold height.

The landing was successful, with a touchdown distance of 201 meters, which accounted for 16% of the runway's length. The touchdown speed was 52 knots, and the touchdown rate was an excellent -0.5 meters per second. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, being 4.6 meters off the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 289 degrees, with a crosswind component of 1 knot and a tailwind component of 5 knots.

The total landing distance was 442 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 12 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the Sierra C24R

Landing Score 99.17 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, Sierra C24R, successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport with a high score of 99.2%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 125.0° at an altitude of 138.8 meters above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, and the threshold height was good, indicating a well-executed approach.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was within the acceptable range at 67 knots, and the touchdown distance was also good at 201 meters. The touchdown speed of 52 knots was within the expected parameters, and the touchdown rate of -0.5 meters per second was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.6 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments in the approach or landing technique.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 5 knots from 289°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 5 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment during touchdown. The total landing distance of 442 meters was within 16% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.

The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively, and the pilot maintained control throughout the landing roll. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft's performance was impressive, with a high score and excellent touchdown rate.
