The flight began with the departure roll from runway 12 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the Black Square Starship N45FL took off with a takeoff distance of 260 meters, which is 9% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 105 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 12, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 20 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 11 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind turn, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 103.6 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 5 nautical miles long and took 109 seconds to complete.

The base leg turn was the next phase of the pattern, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles at an angle of 33.5 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 36 seconds to complete. The final turn was 3 nautical miles long and took 74 seconds to complete. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 12 from the north-west, heading 118.0 degrees at an altitude of 974 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 12 was successful, with the touchdown point being 531 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 87 knots, which was good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -18 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions remained the same as during takeoff. The total landing distance was 1,671 meters, which is 61% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.

The total flight distance was 20 nautical miles, and the flight took 9 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 59 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly, with good control and alignment throughout the pattern and final approach.

Landing Score 89.45 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, Black Square Starship N45FL, successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing procedures. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 118.0° at an altitude of 974 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway.

The aircraft's approach speed was well above the target threshold speed, reaching 119 knots, which is a good indication of the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and control its descent. The touchdown point was 531 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within acceptable limits.

The touchdown speed of 87 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -18 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent approach path.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which had a negligible impact on the landing.

The total landing distance of 1,671 meters was 61% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing of Black Square Starship N45FL at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was a successful and well-executed procedure, demonstrating the pilot's skills and experience in handling the aircraft. The score of 89.5% reflects the high level of proficiency displayed during the landing.
