The flight began with an enroute climb from a starting altitude of 76 feet above sea level (asl) to 82 feet asl, resulting in a 5-foot increase in less than 1 minute while covering less than 1 nautical mile. This initial climb phase set the stage for the rest of the flight.
As the aircraft approached Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK), a go-around maneuver was performed from a height of 30 feet above ground level (agl) on runway 30. This decision was likely made to ensure a safe and controlled approach. The final approach to runway 30 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 302.0° at 0 nautical miles from the runway and an altitude of 216 feet agl.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 30, which has a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height at 80 feet agl was significantly above the target, while the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 64 knots. However, the touchdown distance of 448 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 48 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was smooth at -109 feet per minute, indicating a controlled descent.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline, but the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind of 1 knot at 269°, did not pose any significant challenges. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, indicating a relatively calm environment.
The total landing distance of 765 meters was 28% of the runway length, which is a reasonable figure. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the landing phase. The total flight distance was 1 nautical mile, and the flight used 2 kilograms of fuel, which is a relatively small amount considering the short distance traveled.

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a score of 86.6%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 302.0° at 0 nm and 216 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 30, which has a length of 2,737 meters.
The threshold height at 80 ft agl was significantly above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly higher than desired at the point of touchdown. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 64 kt, suggesting that the aircraft was not excessively fast at the point of touchdown. The touchdown distance of 448 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 48 kt was also within acceptable limits.
The touchdown rate was smooth at -109 fpm, indicating that the aircraft touched down without any significant deceleration or jarring. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.5 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component, making the landing conditions relatively straightforward.
The total landing distance of 765 meters was 28% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a stable and controlled deceleration after touchdown. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good score and demonstrating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
