The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with registration NI22PC, successfully took off. The takeoff distance covered 422 meters, which is 15% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 93 knots.

As the aircraft entered the local weather conditions, it was noted that the temperature was 16 degrees Celsius, and the wind was blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The pilot then entered a left-hand pattern from runway 30, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nautical mile in 51 seconds.

The aircraft then proceeded to the left-hand pattern crosswind, which was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 13 seconds. The pilot then initiated the pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 78.0 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 38 seconds.

Following the downwind leg, the pilot executed the base leg turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 42.7 degrees to the runway. The aircraft then landed on runway 30, which has a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height at 71 feet above ground level was well above the target, and the threshold speed was achieved at 104 knots.

The touchdown point was 238 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 69 knots. The touchdown rate was smooth at -101 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees.

The total landing distance covered 1,141 meters, which is 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, taking 7 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 6 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with registration NI22PC, successfully landed on runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK). The landing was evaluated at 83.8%, indicating a high level of proficiency. The aircraft touched down 238 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance considering the runway length of 2,737 meters.

The touchdown speed of 69 knots was slightly below the target threshold speed of 104 knots, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -101 feet per minute was smooth, suggesting that the pilot maintained a steady and stable approach. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing.

The total landing distance of 1,141 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown, minimizing the use of runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency in managing the aircraft's descent and touchdown. The evaluation score of 83.8% reflects the pilot's ability to execute a safe and controlled landing in a variety of conditions.
