The flight in question was conducted in a GA-8 Airvan Commuter aircraft, registered as N13AV. The pre-flight taxiing process was brief, taking less than a minute to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile from the parking area to the runway. The aircraft then departed from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, with a takeoff distance of 489 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed was recorded at 81 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The aircraft entered a right-hand pattern from runway 30, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 17 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 18 seconds, with the aircraft maintaining a steady course.

The flight then proceeded to the downwind turn, which covered a distance of 1 nautical mile and involved a turn of 45 degrees, resulting in an angle to the runway of 108.7 degrees. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 86 seconds to complete. The base leg turn, which followed, covered a distance of 2 nautical miles and involved a turn of 45 degrees, resulting in an angle to the runway of 33.0 degrees. The base leg was then completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 14 seconds.

The final turn, which brought the aircraft onto the final approach, was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 32 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 30 from the south-east, heading 302.0 degrees at an altitude of 440 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.

The landing was executed on runway 30, which had a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly too high at 84 knots. The touchdown point was 164 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 62 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -54 feet per minute was excellent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at the time of departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes, with no fuel being consumed during the flight.

Landing Score 88.95 %

Landing Summary

The GA-8 Airvan Commuter N13AV successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a score of 89.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 302.0° at 1 nautical mile and 440 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled approach, setting the stage for a smooth landing.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 30, which has a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height was good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a suitable altitude before touchdown. However, the threshold speed was slightly too high at 84 knots, which may have been due to factors such as wind resistance or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a more controlled descent.

The touchdown point was 164 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. Nevertheless, the touchdown speed of 62 knots was good, indicating that the pilot managed to slow down the aircraft effectively. The touchdown rate of -54 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the landing.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 269°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach and landing.

Overall, the landing of the GA-8 Airvan Commuter N13AV at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
