This flight was conducted in a Navion L-17B aircraft, taking off from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway was swift, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll, utilizing 301 meters or 11% of the runway's length to achieve liftoff at a speed of 79 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 270 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a headwind of 2 knots, which likely contributed to a smooth takeoff process. Following takeoff, the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern, navigating a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 58 seconds.
As the aircraft continued its right-hand pattern, it encountered a crosswind of 1 knot, which was quickly overcome in just 5 seconds. The pilot then executed a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a bank angle of 9.9 degrees. The downwind leg itself was completed in 23 seconds, with the aircraft maintaining a steady course.
The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 120 degrees at an altitude of 76 feet above ground level. The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 2,737 meters, and the pilot reported a good threshold height. The threshold speed of 63 knots was well below the target, necessitating caution to avoid stalling.
The touchdown distance was satisfactory at 229 meters, and the touchdown speed of 62 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was perfect at -31 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a stronger wind of 23 knots at 212 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 23 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, indicating an extremely efficient operation. Overall, the flight was executed with precision and control, demonstrating the capabilities of the Navion L-17B aircraft.

The Navion L-17B aircraft successfully landed on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 95.6%. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 120.0° at an altitude of 76 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft's approach and landing were executed with precision, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 63 knots, which was well below the target speed. This indicates that the pilot maintained control and avoided stalling the aircraft, a critical aspect of safe landing procedures.
The touchdown distance of 229 meters was also satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 62 knots was within acceptable limits. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was a perfect -31 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without any excessive deceleration, reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft and minimizing the impact on the runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach, aligning the aircraft with the centerline of the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were moderate, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 23 knots from 212°. The crosswind component was 23 knots, while the tailwind component was minimal at 1 knot. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's approach and landing, demonstrating exceptional skill and control.
