The Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen, a pioneering aircraft, successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, showcasing its impressive capabilities. The final approach to runway 12 was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 117.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 253 feet above ground level (agl). This precise approach was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's design.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 25 knots, which was well within the target range. The touchdown distance of 245 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The aircraft's rate of descent was particularly impressive, with a negative rate of -70 feet per minute, demonstrating excellent control and stability.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were moderate, with a temperature of 8°C and a gentle wind of 5 knots from 242°. The crosswind component was minimal at 5 knots, while the tailwind component was slightly stronger at 3 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's landing performance was unaffected, with the pilot expertly navigating the aircraft to a perfect touchdown.
The total landing distance of 363 meters was a mere 13% of the runway length, indicating a short and controlled rollout. The runway rollout alignment was flawless, with the aircraft maintaining its alignment with the runway centerline throughout the rollout phase. Overall, this landing was a testament to the Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen's capabilities and the pilot's exceptional skills, making it a truly impressive achievement.
