This flight was conducted using a Sierra C24R aircraft, which began its enroute level cruise phase after taking off from an unspecified location. The aircraft initially flew overhead Monkton, a town located in South Ayrshire, Scotland, before continuing on its journey. The enroute level cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached Glasgow Prestwick Airport, it began its final approach to runway 30 from the south east. At this point, the aircraft was at an altitude of 79 feet above ground level (agl) and had traveled 0 nautical miles. The aircraft was heading in a direction of 309.0 degrees, which is a precise alignment with the runway.
Upon landing on runway 30, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 52 knots, which is considered good. The touchdown point was located 180 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but this was still within a reasonable distance. The aircraft's touchdown rate was excellent, with a rate of -66 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing conditions relatively calm. The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 916 meters, which is approximately 33% of the runway length.
Following the landing, the aircraft's rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and rotation. The total flight distance was 1 nautical mile, and the flight used a total of -6 kilograms of fuel.

The aircraft, Sierra C24R, successfully landed on runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a score of 91.5%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, aligning with the heading of 309.0° at an altitude of 79 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 180 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 52 knots was well within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -66 feet per minute (fpm) was also excellent, demonstrating a high degree of precision and control.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from the northwest. The crosswind and headwind components were negligible, at 1 knot each, which contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
One area for improvement noted in the report was the threshold speed, which was excessively high at 95 knots. This suggests that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more optimal approach speed, potentially reducing the landing distance and improving overall performance.
Despite this minor issue, the overall performance of the aircraft was impressive, with a total landing distance of 916 meters, which is only 33% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled transition from the landing phase to the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating a high degree of precision, control, and stability. With some adjustments to approach speed, the pilot and aircraft could potentially achieve an even higher score in future landings.
