The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the PA38 Tomahawk aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 322 meters, which accounted for 12% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 63 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270 degrees.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 30, with the entry distance being less than 1 nautical mile in 16 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind was also navigated, with the distance being less than 1 nautical mile in 26 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was executed at an angle of 92.1 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 88 seconds to complete.
The pattern base leg turn was then executed, with the aircraft turning at an angle of 10.2 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The final approach to runway 30 was made from the south-east, with the aircraft heading 301.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 343 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 30 was successful, with the threshold height being above the target at 61 feet above ground level, and the threshold speed being slightly above the target at 68 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 425 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 43 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -72 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions remained the same during the landing, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, taking 5 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.

The PA38 Tomahawk aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a score of 96.0%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 301.0° at 1 nautical mile and 343 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 30.
The runway at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport has a length of 2,737 meters, providing a safe margin for the PA38 Tomahawk's landing. However, the threshold height at 61 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft may have been slightly higher than desired at the point of touchdown. The threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 68 knots, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly faster than necessary.
Despite these minor deviations, the touchdown distance of 425 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and slow down effectively during the landing. The touchdown speed of 43 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -72 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway and able to maintain a stable approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots at 269°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, further contributing to a smooth and controlled landing.
Overall, the PA38 Tomahawk's landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
