The aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with registration NI22PC, successfully landed at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) on runway 30. The pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and control throughout the final approach and landing, scoring an impressive 90.4%.
As the aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 281.0° at 1 nautical mile and 536 feet above ground level (agl), the pilot maintained a steady and controlled descent. The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 2,737 meters, providing ample space for the aircraft to touch down safely.
The threshold height at 55 feet agl was slightly above the target, but this did not seem to affect the pilot's ability to control the aircraft. The threshold speed was good, reaching 94 knots, which is a suitable speed for landing. The touchdown point was 123 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation, but still within acceptable limits.
The touchdown speed of 75 knots was also good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was able to slow the aircraft down smoothly. The touchdown rate of -57 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a high level of precision and control. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained the correct heading and alignment throughout the approach and landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 269°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots, which the pilot was able to handle effectively. Overall, the landing was a success, and the pilot's skills and control were evident throughout the approach and landing.
