Flight Score
Departure
Make small rudder corrections against a point at the far end to hold the centreline.
What happened: During the ground roll you drifted 5.2 m off the runway centreline.
Watch for: Watch runway alignment against the centreline, correcting with small rudder inputs.
See Departure Roll
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 82 ft agl, above the 50 ft agl target. Crossing high like this usually reduces your margin before the touchdown zone ends.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against 50 ft at the threshold.
See Arrival Landing
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: centreline 3.8° off, against a 1° limit and speed 19 kt FAST on the reference speed of 100 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,978 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 425 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
Departing from Glasgow Prestwick Airport, the Phenom 300E began its takeoff roll on runway 12, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 115 kt in a distance of 1,487 m, which accounted for 54% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.
As the aircraft entered the right-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of agility, completing the entry maneuver in less than 1 nm in 19 seconds. The subsequent crosswind correction was also executed efficiently, taking 23 seconds to complete. The pilot then initiated a downwind turn, maintaining a 45-degree angle to the runway and a distance of 2 nm. The downwind leg was completed in 18 seconds, setting the aircraft up for a smooth final approach to runway 30. The approach was made from the south-east, with the aircraft descending to 193 ft agl at a heading of 302.0°.
The landing was executed to a high standard, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 88 kt and a distance of 426 m. The touchdown rate was also within acceptable limits, at -184 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision on the part of the pilot. The total flight distance was 7 nm, taking approximately 3 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 34 kg of fuel during the flight.
The final approach to runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was conducted from the south east, with the aircraft aligned on heading 302.0° at 0 nm and 193 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height at 83 ft agl that was significantly above the target, indicating a slightly high approach. The threshold speed of 108 kt was achieved, demonstrating good control and adherence to the approach speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 426 m was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 88 kt was slightly below the target, indicating a good rate of descent. The touchdown rate of -184 fpm was also good, suggesting a controlled and stable touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline, indicating precise control and navigation.
Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out on the runway, with the centerline alignment maintained throughout. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a light wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a smooth and stable rollout. Overall, the landing was scored 84.3%, reflecting a good performance in terms of approach quality, touchdown characteristics, and runway alignment, but with some room for improvement in terms of threshold height and touchdown speed.
