Arrival
This flight was conducted in an American Champion Scout, a type of light aircraft known as the Lions 26 Analog. The aircraft took off from a location near Monkton in South Ayrshire, Scotland, and began its enroute climb. During this phase, the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 76 feet above sea level to 204 feet, representing an increase of 128 feet over a period of 2 minutes. The climb also covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached Glasgow Prestwick Airport, it began its final approach to runway 12 from the west. At this point, the aircraft was at an altitude of 135 feet above ground level and had traveled 0 nautical miles. The aircraft was heading in a direction of 108.0 degrees, indicating a precise alignment with the runway.
The landing on runway 12 was executed successfully, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 42 knots. The touchdown distance was 434 meters, which was considered good. The aircraft's touchdown rate was an impressive -93 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained precise control throughout the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind, making the landing even more challenging but ultimately successful.
The total landing distance was 527 meters, which represented just 19% of the runway's length. This indicates that the pilot had maintained excellent control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had smoothly transitioned from the landing phase to the rollout phase.
In terms of the flight's overall performance, the aircraft covered a total distance of 2 nautical miles and used no fuel during the flight. The flight duration was 4 minutes, indicating a highly efficient and controlled flight.

The American Champion Scout, registration LIONS 26 ANALOG, successfully landed at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) with a score of 93.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 108.0° at an altitude of 135 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The pilot executed a precise final approach, touching down on runway 12, which is 2,737 meters long. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 48 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's control over the aircraft's descent.
The touchdown distance of 434 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 42 knots was also good. However, the most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -93 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and quickly, with minimal impact on the runway.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each, which further contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 527 meters was only 19% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft to bring it to a stop quickly and safely. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled descent throughout the landing.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown. The score of 93.0% reflects the high standard of flying achieved by the pilot on this occasion.
