The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with registration NI22PC, successfully took off after a distance of 69 meters, which accounted for just 3% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 90 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 3 knots blowing from a direction of 228 degrees.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern, it did so from runway 30, and the entry was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 105 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind leg was also executed efficiently, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 15 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was a notable segment of the flight, with the aircraft covering a distance of 3 nautical miles at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, and an angle of 4.7 degrees to the runway centerline.

The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 134.0 degrees and an altitude of 281 feet above ground level, approximately 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 12 was successful, with the aircraft touching down 255 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 71 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -29 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good.

The total landing distance was 1,377 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 6 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the A2A Piper Aerostar 600 NI22PC

Landing Score 96.32 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with registration NI22PC, successfully landed at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) with a score of 96.3%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 134.0° at 2 nautical miles and 281 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 12, which has a length of 2,737 meters.

The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 93 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown point was 255 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within acceptable limits.

The touchdown speed of 71 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -29 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 228°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the tailwind component was negligible at 1 knot. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach.

The total landing distance of 1,377 meters was 50% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the approach conditions. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing phases. The score of 96.3% reflects the high level of proficiency and precision displayed during the landing.
