Landing on runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the GA-8 Airvan CAP Commuter

Landing Score 95.35 %

Landing Summary

The GA-8 Airvan CAP Commuter successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 95.3%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 305.0° at 1 nautical mile and 501 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled approach, setting the stage for a smooth landing.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 30, which has a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height was good, suggesting that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 69 knots was also met, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase.

The touchdown distance of 312 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively and maintain control during the landing process. The touchdown speed of 57 knots was also within the acceptable range, further emphasizing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed. The touchdown rate of -47 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, suggesting that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and without any significant deceleration.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it touched down. This is an important aspect of landing, as it helps to ensure that the aircraft remains stable and under control during the rollout phase.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 230°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions were well within the acceptable range for a safe landing, and the pilot was able to manage the aircraft effectively despite the presence of some wind.

The total landing distance of 771 meters was 28% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively and maintain control during the landing process. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it rolled out after touchdown.

Overall, the landing of the GA-8 Airvan CAP Commuter at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was a success, with the aircraft achieving a high score of 95.3%. The pilot's skill and experience were evident throughout the landing process, and the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and maintain control during the rollout phase.
