The flight began at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, with the TBM 850 taking to the runway 30 for departure. Taxiing to the runway only took less than 1 minute, covering a negligible distance of under 1 nm. Upon taking off, the aircraft demonstrated impressive takeoff performance, with a liftoff speed of 90 kt and covering just 17% of the 2,737 m long runway.
As the pilot navigated the aircraft through the local weather conditions, which featured a chilly temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 270 °, the aircraft climbed smoothly, starting its enroute climb over Monkton in South Ayrshire, Scotland. During this climb, the aircraft ascended from 1,069 ft asl to 2,109 ft asl, an impressive gain of 1,039 ft in a mere 1 minute, while covering a distance of approximately 1 nm.
As the flight progressed, the enroute descent commenced south east of the coastal town of Troon. The aircraft expertly descended from 2,124 ft asl to 271 ft asl, reducing its altitude by a considerable 1,853 ft over a period of 3 minutes, whilst covering a distance of around 3 nm.
Upon approaching the airport, the final approach for landing was initiated from the east, with a heading of 266.0 ° and the aircraft flying at an altitude of 0 nm and 211 ft agl. Despite experiencing a slightly turbulent local weather, which featured a temperature of 15 °C, wind of 3 kt from 265 °, the aircraft touched down smoothly on the runway, with a touchdown point located 607 m beyond the designated touchdown zone.
Notably, although the touchdown speed of 59 kt was considered satisfactory, the corresponding threshold speed of 91 kt was higher than expected. On the other hand, the touchdown rate of -96 fpm was exemplary. Moreover, the landing distance of 1,387 m was 51% of the runway length while maintaining perfect runway touchdown and rollout alignment.
Given its overall performance, the flight successfully utilized 15 kg of fuel, covering a total distance of 6 nm in 5 minutes.

The TBM 850 made a successful landing on runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, but there were some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the east, heading 266.0° at an altitude of 211 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles (nm) from the runway. The pilot aimed for a perfect touchdown zone landing but unfortunately had a touchdown point 607 metres beyond the threshold, exceeding the target.
The aircraft's approach speed and rate of descent were both good, as indicated by the touchdown speed of 59 knots and an excellent touchdown rate of -96 feet per minute (fpm). This shows that the pilot had a well-executed approach and maintained control, despite some issues with the landing.
However, the aircraft's threshold height was excessively over target, and the threshold speed was very high at 91 knots. Both of these factors may have contributed to the aircraft exceeding the designated touchdown area.
The local weather conditions were favourable for the landing, with a temperature of 15°C and a light headwind of 2 kt. The wind direction was also aligned with the runway heading, resulting in a minimal crosswind component.
In conclusion, the pilot's control during the final approach and touchdown was good, but there were some areas where the landing could be improved. The aircraft's excessive over target landing point will require some adjustments in the pilot's approach and control. Nonetheless, the touchdown speed, descent rate, and rollout alignment were all excellent.
