The PA38 Tomahawk aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 121.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with precision, showcasing the pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 63 knots, which is an optimal threshold speed. This indicates that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft and was able to slow it down effectively before touchdown. The touchdown distance of 435 meters was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and landing.
The touchdown speed of 42 knots was another indicator of the pilot's skill, as it was well within the safe range for a PA38 Tomahawk. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of -69 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating that the pilot had maintained a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a steady course and was able to align the aircraft with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 14 knots at 158°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. Despite these conditions, the pilot was able to navigate the aircraft safely and land it with precision.
The total landing distance of 689 meters was only 25% of the runway length, which is an impressive achievement. This indicates that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft and was able to slow it down effectively after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a steady course and was able to bring the aircraft to a safe stop.
Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's exceptional skills and ability to navigate the PA38 Tomahawk safely and efficiently. The combination of precise navigation, controlled descent, and smooth landing made this a truly impressive achievement.
