This flight was conducted using a Velocity XL aircraft. The pre-takeoff phase was brief, with the taxi from the parking area to the runway taking less than a minute and covering less than a nautical mile. The aircraft departed from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport.
Upon departure, the Velocity XL accelerated down the 465-meter-long runway, which is 17% of the total runway length. The takeoff distance was sufficient to achieve liftoff speed of 101 knots. The local weather conditions at takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and light, 1-knot tailwind from a westerly direction.
As the aircraft entered its enroute phase, a gradual descent was initiated overhead Monkton, a location in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The descent from 951 feet above sea level to 501 feet above sea level took approximately 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The reduction in altitude was achieved without significant changes in speed.
After the descent, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The approach was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 110.0 °. At an altitude of 428 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold, the aircraft was in position for a landing.
The landing itself was executed successfully, with the aircraft touching down 351 meters beyond the touchdown zone on runway 12. The touchdown speed of 60 knots was well within the target parameters, and the touchdown rate of -69 feet per minute was excellent. Additionally, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting minimal deviations from the centerline.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft continued down the runway, with the rollout alignment being very good. The total landing distance of 1,177 meters was 43% of the runway length, indicating a safe and controlled touchdown. The local weather conditions at touchdown were characterized by a temperature of 20 °C and a 3-knot headwind with a 3-knot crosswind.
Overall, the flight was completed successfully, with a total distance of 3 nautical miles traveled in 3 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no additional fuel during the flight, suggesting efficient airframe performance and minimal energy loss.

Aircraft Velocity XL has successfully completed its landing on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport with a score of 88.5%. The final approach was initiated from the west at 1 nautical mile away and 428 feet above ground level, flying at a heading of 110.0°. The landing was completed on a runway with a length of 2,737 meters, where the threshold height was considered good, indicating a suitable approach angle.
Upon assessment, the threshold speed was found to be above the target of 95 knots, showing a strong and controlled descent. The touchdown point was 351 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively safe distance, and the touchdown speed of 60 knots was within acceptable limits. Another commendable aspect of this landing was the touchdown rate, which was an exceptional -69 feet per minute, demonstrating excellent control and precision.
In terms of alignment, the runway touchdown was highly praised for its alignment, suggesting that the pilot was accurately tracking the runway during their approach and landing. Local weather conditions included a temperature of 20 °C, a relatively calm wind speed of 3 knots at 228°, minimal crosswind of 3 knots, and a slight tailwind of 1 knot. These conditions would have positively impacted the landing's success.
The total landing distance was 1,177 meters, which represents 43% of the runway. This distance was achieved with a well-executed rollout, as the runway rollout alignment was deemed very good, indicating precise control during the deceleration phase after touchdown. Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of skill and precision by the pilot of the Aircraft Velocity XL, despite some minor deviations from the optimal target values.
