Departure
Arrival
A Britten Norman Trislander BN2 departed EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, navigating a short route to the south east before commencing its final approach to runway 30. The aircraft was established on the approach path at an altitude of 203 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles (nm) from the runway threshold, heading 301.0°. The crew executed a smooth descent, maintaining control of the aircraft's airspeed and altitude.
As the Trislander touched down on the 2,737-meter runway, the threshold height of 76 ft agl was found to be above the target, and the threshold speed of 85 knots was higher than desired. However, the touchdown point was 311 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The touchdown speed of 54 knots was within acceptable limits, and the rate of descent at -113 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth. The runway alignment was also satisfactory, with the aircraft tracking perfectly along the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component. The short flight distance of 4 nm was completed in 2 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2 kg. The crew's ability to manage the aircraft's performance and navigate the challenging approach conditions was commendable, resulting in a safe and controlled landing.

The final approach to runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport from the south east was initiated at 0 nm and 203 ft above ground level, heading 301.0°. The approach quality was satisfactory, with the aircraft maintaining a stable and controlled descent throughout. However, the threshold height at 76 ft above ground level was significantly above the target, indicating a slightly high approach path.
As the aircraft touched down 311 meters beyond the touchdown zone, the touchdown speed of 54 knots was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -113 feet per minute was smooth, indicating a well-controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The excessive threshold speed of 85 knots was noted, which may have contributed to the slightly long touchdown point.
The rollout phase was uneventful, with the aircraft maintaining a stable and controlled deceleration. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a light headwind of 1 knot at 269°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 81.3% reflecting the satisfactory approach quality, smooth touchdown, and perfect runway alignment.
