The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the DA40-XLS aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 132 meters, which is 5% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 73 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

After taking off, the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern from runway 30, completing the turn in less than 1 nautical mile in 22 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind turn was completed in 26 seconds, also covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 97.2 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 64 seconds.

As the aircraft approached the base leg, the pilot initiated a turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 60.1 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 19 seconds. The final turn was initiated, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 21 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 30 from the south-east, heading 302.0 degrees at an altitude of 196 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 30 was successful, with a threshold height that was considered good and a threshold speed of 69 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, covering 360 meters, and the touchdown speed was 52 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was perfect at -15 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 4.9 meters.

The total landing distance was 621 meters, which is 23% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight used -2 kilograms of fuel.

Landing Summary

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 97.0%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 302.0° at an altitude of 196 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 30.

The runway at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport has a length of 2,737 meters, providing a safe margin for the aircraft's landing. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed was maintained at 69 knots, which is a good indicator of the pilot's control and adherence to standard operating procedures. The touchdown distance of 360 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 52 knots was well within the recommended range.

One area for improvement was the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 4.9 meters off-centerline. However, this did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

The total landing distance of 621 meters was 23% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and adherence to standard operating procedures.
