This flight began with the departure roll from runway 12 of the EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The aircraft, a Cessna M500, performed well, achieving liftoff speed of 102 kt and utilizing 43 m or 2% of the runway length. The local weather conditions were moderate, with a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle breeze blowing at 3 kt in the direction of 227 °.

The pilot executed a right-hand pattern entry, seamlessly transitioning into the standard right-hand pattern. Notably, this section was completed quickly, taking less than 1 nm in 22 seconds. The right-hand pattern crosswind segment posed no challenge, with the pilot handling the aircraft expertly and completing it in under 1 nm in just 9 seconds. Subsequently, the pattern downwind turn revealed a gentle angle to the runway, precisely 45 degrees at 77.4 °.

As the aircraft entered the base leg, the pilot executed a smooth base leg turn, aligning with the runway's 45-degree angle. Upon completing the turn, the pilot then began a steady descent, gradually closing in on the runway threshold. Throughout this phase, the aircraft performed admirably, using the wind in its favor to maintain a stable, efficient path. Finally, the pilot initiated the final turn, guiding the aircraft safely onto runway 12.

Upon landing, the pilot demonstrated excellent control, achieving a threshold speed of 89 kt and touchdown speed of 74 kt. The touchdown distance was within acceptable parameters, measuring 365 m or 34% of the available runway length. Runway touchdown position slightly deviated from the centerline, albeit only by 3.2 m.

The flight concluded with a successful completion of the flight path and safe taxiing to the designated area. The total flight distance of 6 nm was covered in a mere 10 minutes, with the aircraft consuming a total of -142 kg of fuel. The entire flight operation demonstrated an impressive blend of expertise, skill, and situational awareness, ultimately resulting in a seamless, efficient, and safe landing.

Landing on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the M500

Landing Score 99.91 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft being referenced is an M500, having achieved a remarkable score of 99.9% upon conclusion of the final approach and landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. As the aircraft approached runway 12 from a north-westerly direction, it maintained a precise heading of 122.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 318 feet above ground level.

Upon initiating the landing sequence, the aircraft successfully touched down on the runway with a perfectly good threshold height and an optimal threshold speed of 89 knots. The touchdown distance of 365 meters was also within an acceptable range, signifying a smooth and gentle descent prior to touchdown. At the point of touchdown, the aircraft's speed had decreased to a commendable 74 knots, while the touchdown rate of -25 feet per minute was spot-on, indicating an ideal rate of descent.

However, slight misalignment from the centreline upon touchdown, to the tune of 3.2 meters, slightly compromised the otherwise flawless landing performance. Additionally, wind conditions were relatively benign, featuring a gentle temperature of 20 °C, a meager wind speed of 3 knots at a bearing of 227°, resulting in minimal crosswind and a slight tailwind of 1 knot. The cumulative landing distance of 922 meters represented a mere 34% of the runway's total length, which is a desirable ratio.

One of the standout aspects of this landing is the impressive runway rollout alignment, showcasing a high degree of precision and control exercised by the pilot during the critical phase of the landing operation.
