Landing Summary

The GA-8 Airvan CAP Commuter successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to safety protocols. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, aligning itself with the designated heading of 302.0° at a mere 0 nm distance and 205 ft above ground level (agl). This precise control allowed the aircraft to maintain a stable and controlled descent, ultimately resulting in a smooth touchdown.

Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated a satisfactory threshold height, adhering to the recommended speed of 77 kt. The touchdown distance of 411 m was also within acceptable limits, indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown speed of 60 kt was slightly lower than the threshold speed, which is a desirable outcome as it reduces the risk of overrunning the runway. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of -66 fpm was exceptional, signifying a gentle and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the headwind component was 2 kt, providing a stable and predictable environment for the landing. The total landing distance of 655 m was only 24% of the runway length, indicating a well-executed landing and a high degree of control.

The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the critical phase of landing. Overall, the landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's capabilities. The GA-8 Airvan CAP Commuter's performance at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was exemplary, with a score of 99.2% indicating a near-perfect landing.
