The Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen, a lightweight, single-engine aircraft, successfully landed at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) on runway 12. The pilot's final approach was initiated from the north-west, aligning with the runway at a heading of 121.0°, approximately 1 nautical mile away from the threshold. At an altitude of 316 feet above ground level (agl), the aircraft was in a stable position for landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision, with a touchdown distance of 359 meters. This indicates that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to manage the descent effectively. The touchdown speed was a relatively low 18 knots, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's ability to handle the landing conditions.
The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a consistent and stable approach path. This is particularly impressive given the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 15°C and a gentle tailwind of 2 knots. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which further contributed to the smooth and controlled landing.
The pilot's adherence to the threshold speed of 40 knots and the excellent touchdown rate of -50 feet per minute (fpm) demonstrate a high level of proficiency and attention to detail. Overall, the landing was a success, with the Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen touching down safely and efficiently on runway 12 at EGPK.
