The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The aircraft, an M500, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 109 kt, requiring a takeoff distance of just 100 m, which is 4% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 2 kt from a direction of 270 °.

As the aircraft entered the traffic pattern, it followed a left-hand pattern entry from runway 12, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nm in just 23 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind was also executed quickly, taking less than 1 nm in 12 seconds. The pilot then proceeded to the downwind turn, which covered a distance of 2 nm and involved a turn of 56.1 ° relative to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 3 nm long and took 84 seconds to complete.

After the downwind turn, the pilot initiated the base leg turn, which covered a distance of 2 nm and involved a turn of 34.6 ° relative to the runway. The base leg itself was less than 1 nm long and took 28 seconds to complete. The final turn, which brought the aircraft onto the final approach, was also less than 1 nm long and took 27 seconds to complete.

The final approach to runway 12 was made from the north-west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 117.0 ° and an altitude of 430 ft above ground level (agl) at a distance of 1 nm from the runway threshold. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 77 kt and a touchdown distance of 415 m, which is just 33% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was an excellent -50 fpm, indicating a very controlled descent.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.1 m, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 913 m, and the total flight distance was 10 nm, which was completed in 5 minutes. The flight used a total of 11 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, a M500, successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing technique. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 117.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 430 feet above ground level (agl).

The pilot's performance during the approach was impressive, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The threshold speed of 89 knots was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 77 knots, which is a good indication of a controlled and stable landing. The touchdown rate of -50 feet per minute (fpm) was particularly noteworthy, as it suggests a very gentle and controlled touchdown.

However, there was a slight deviation from the ideal landing technique, as the aircraft touched down 5.1 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment may have been due to a variety of factors, including wind conditions or pilot error. Nevertheless, the overall performance of the aircraft during the landing was excellent.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. This minimal wind made the landing even more challenging, as it required the pilot to maintain a high level of control and precision. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slight deviation from the centerline.

The total landing distance of 913 meters was 33% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing, even in the face of minimal wind conditions. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft even after touchdown.

Overall, the landing performance of the M500 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was exceptional, with a high level of precision and control demonstrated throughout the approach and landing. The minor deviation from the centerline was the only notable issue, but it did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall performance of the aircraft.
