Departure
Arrival
This flight was conducted in an Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen, a lightweight aircraft designed for exploration and adventure. The flight began with an enroute climb from a starting altitude of 51 feet above sea level (asl) to 1,031 ft asl, a significant increase of 980 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb was achieved while covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile (nm).
As the aircraft continued on its journey, it began its enroute descent from 1,035 ft asl to 201 ft asl, a decrease of 834 feet in 2 minutes. This descent covered a distance of 1 nm, bringing the aircraft back down to a lower altitude.
The final approach to runway 12 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 122.0° at an altitude of 141 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nm from the runway. The approach was made with a threshold speed of 42 knots, which is a suitable speed for landing on a runway of this length.
The aircraft landed safely on runway 12, which is 2,737 meters long. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 299 meters, and the touchdown speed was 22 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect, at -50 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 227°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the tailwind was 1 knot, which is relatively minimal and should not have affected the landing.
The total landing distance was 364 meters, which is just 13% of the runway length. This indicates that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft during the landing, and the aircraft was able to come to a stop quickly and safely. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft even after touchdown.
In terms of fuel consumption, the flight used a total of -8 kg of fuel, which is a relatively small amount considering the short flight distance of 2 nm. The flight took a total of 4 minutes to complete, which is a relatively short duration for a flight of this type. Overall, this flight was a successful and controlled operation, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control over the aircraft.
