The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, with the DA42-VI aircraft taking off smoothly. The takeoff distance was a relatively short 55 meters, which is just 2% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 91 knots, indicating a steady and controlled ascent.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 20°C temperature and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 227 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 354 feet above sea level to 560 feet, an increase of 207 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The enroute climb took place overhead Monkton, a location in South Ayrshire, Scotland. Once the aircraft had reached its desired altitude, it began its final approach to runway 12 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The approach was made from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 120 degrees at an altitude of 486 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.
The landing on runway 12 was smooth and controlled, with a touchdown distance of 456 meters. However, the touchdown speed was slightly higher than ideal at 74 knots, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to reduce the speed. The touchdown rate was perfect at -27 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was also spot on.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as during the takeoff, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind of 3 knots from 227 degrees. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the tailwind component was 1 knot. The total landing distance was 813 meters, which is just 30% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing.
In total, the flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight time was 2 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 7 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was a smooth and controlled operation, with the pilot demonstrating good skills and judgment throughout.

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a score of 94.0%. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 120.0° at 1 nautical mile and 486 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on the runway.
The landing was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was properly configured for landing. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 101 knots, which may have been a result of the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed during the approach. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 456 meters, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and slow down effectively.
The touchdown speed of 74 knots was slightly faster than ideal, but the touchdown rate of -27 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing smoothly. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and alignment with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 227°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the tailwind component was negligible at 1 knot. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
The total landing distance of 813 meters was 30% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the DA42-VI aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the landing, achieving a high score of 94.0%. While there were some minor issues with the threshold speed and touchdown speed, the pilot's ability to maintain control and alignment with the runway was impressive, and the landing was executed safely and smoothly.
