The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, EGPK. The aircraft, an M500, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 1,018 meters, which was 37% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 116 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a headwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it followed a curved path that took it 2 nautical miles away from the runway in just 19 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind maneuver was completed in an even shorter time of 14 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind turn, which involved a 45-degree angle to the runway and a distance of 1 nautical mile. The final approach to runway 12 was made from the west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 72 degrees and an altitude of 586 feet above ground level, 1 nautical mile from the runway.

The landing on runway 12 was executed with a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was slightly too high at 110 knots. The touchdown distance was satisfactory at 401 meters, although the touchdown speed was a bit too fast at 99 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent, with a rate of -72 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of precision in the pilot's landing technique. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a tailwind of 2 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,433 meters, which was 52% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 9 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, identified as an M500, successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, with a final approach from the west. The aircraft's heading during the final approach was 72.0°, and it was at an altitude of 586 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was executed on runway 12, which has a length of 2,737 meters.

The pilot's performance during the landing was generally good, with a good threshold height achieved. However, there was a notable issue with the threshold speed, which was too high at 110 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been a bit too aggressive during the approach, potentially leading to a higher-than-desired touchdown speed.

The touchdown distance of 401 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft during the landing. However, the touchdown speed of 99 knots was too fast, suggesting that the pilot may have been unable to fully arrest the aircraft's descent before touchdown. The touchdown rate of -72 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating that the pilot had good control over the aircraft's descent.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had good control over the aircraft's direction during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,433 meters was 52% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilot had good control over the aircraft during the landing and was able to bring it to a stop quickly. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had good control over the aircraft's direction during the rollout phase of the landing.

Overall, the pilot's performance during the landing was good, with some areas for improvement. The pilot was able to achieve a good threshold height and touchdown distance, but was unable to fully arrest the aircraft's descent before touchdown, resulting in a too-fast touchdown speed. However, the pilot's control over the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases was excellent, resulting in a perfect runway touchdown alignment and a very good runway rollout alignment.
