The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,731 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 201 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Hawker H25B departed Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) from runway 30, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 133 kt. The take-off roll measured 779 m, representing 26 % of the available runway, while ambient conditions were 17 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, a 2 kt head-wind component and a 1 kt cross-wind.
During the climb the aircraft passed overhead Monkton in South Ayrshire, rising from 1,009 ft asl to 2,281 ft asl. The altitude gain of 1,272 ft was achieved in 1 minute while covering 4 nm.
The first cruise segment began approximately 1 mile north-west of Troon, South Ayrshire, and was maintained for 3 minutes during which 12 nm were flown.
The descent commenced about 1 mile south-west of West Kilbride, North Ayrshire, with the aircraft descending from 2,928 ft asl to 2,207 ft asl. A loss of 721 ft was completed in 2 minutes over a distance of 4 nm.
A second cruise phase started roughly 2 miles south-west of Saltcoats, North Ayrshire, lasting 3 minutes and covering 6 nm.
For the final approach to runway 12 at EGPK, the aircraft descended from 1,516 ft agl to 8 ft agl in 108 seconds, meeting the stabilisation gate criteria.
Touchdown occurred on runway 12, whose total length is 2,731 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 112 kt, and the aircraft touched down 200 m from the threshold at a speed of 104 kt. The vertical speed at touchdown was minus 126 fpm, and alignment was reported as perfect. Local weather at landing was 16 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a 2 kt tail-wind component and a 1 kt cross-wind. The total landing roll measured 872 m, equivalent to 32 % of the runway.
The rollout was completed with perfect runway alignment, confirming the aircraft remained on the centreline throughout the deceleration phase.
In total the flight covered 33 nm, required approximately 10 minutes 48 seconds of airborne time, and consumed 160 kg of fuel.
The Hawker H25B approached runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport with a stabilised profile at the 1,000 ft gate, gear, flaps, sink rate, glideslope, centreline and speed all within limits, and descended from 1,516 ft AGL to 8 ft AGL in 108 seconds under temperature 16 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, cross-wind 1 kt and tail-wind 2 kt.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height and a good threshold speed of 112 kt, positioning the touchdown point 200 m down the runway and achieving a good touchdown speed of 104 kt with a smooth touchdown rate of minus 126 fpm.
Touchdown alignment was perfect, confirming the aircraft was on centreline at the moment of wheel-strike.
Rollout proceeded with perfect runway-rollout alignment, the aircraft travelling a total landing distance of 872 m, representing 32 % of the 2,731 m runway.
With a perfect score of 100.0 %, the performance was exemplary; continued attention to maintaining the current precision on approach and touchdown points will preserve this high standard.
