The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the DA40-XLS aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 310 meters, which accounted for 11% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 69 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern from runway 30, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 18 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 23 seconds, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 1 nautical mile, with an angle to the runway of 93.1 degrees. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 62 seconds.

The pattern base leg turn was completed in 1 nautical mile, with an angle to the runway of 50 degrees. The base leg itself covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 26 seconds. The final turn was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 41 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 30 from the south-east, heading 302 degrees at an altitude of 227 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 30 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 409 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 51 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -101 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions remained the same as during takeoff. The total landing distance was 773 meters, accounting for 28% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.

The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 7 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach was conducted from the south east, aligning with the runway 30 threshold at a heading of 302.0°. At the point of landing, the aircraft was at 0 nm and 227 feet above ground level (agl), indicating a precise control of altitude and distance.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a threshold speed of 68 knots, which is within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 409 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 51 knots was within the target range, and the touchdown rate of -101 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting a gentle and controlled impact with the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a precise control of the aircraft's trajectory during the final approach.

The total landing distance of 773 meters, which is 28% of the runway length, was also satisfactory. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance, without overrunning the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and controlled stop.

Overall, the DA40-XLS aircraft's landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency in controlling the aircraft during the final approach and touchdown phases. The landing was characterized by a smooth and controlled descent, precise control of altitude and distance, and a safe and controlled stop at the end of the runway.
