Flight Score
Departure
Reduce climb power to bring speed back to 158 kt and hold it there.
What happened: Climb speed was 40 kt fast at 198 kt during the climb.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 158 kt in the climb
Arrival
Begin the flare with progressive back pressure and keep it coming until the sink is arrested, rather than flying it on flat.
What happened: The nose was barely raised in the flare and little of the sink was taken out, flying the aircraft onto the runway. This pattern usually carries through to a firm touchdown with a noticeable sink rate.
Watch for: Vertical speed indicator: a smoothly reducing sink through the normal flare band, not a steady rate into the runway.
Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,731 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 468 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK), the Phenom 300E taxied from the parking area to the runway in under a minute, covering a short distance of less than one nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 30, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 134 knots within a relatively short takeoff distance of 655 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius, with a gentle headwind of 2 knots and a crosswind of 1 knot.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, which began overhead Monkton, Scotland. During this phase, the aircraft ascended from 1,005 feet above sea level to 2,543 feet, a vertical gain of 1,538 feet, while covering a distance of six nautical miles in just one minute. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 24 minutes and covered a distance of 85 nautical miles. This phase took place approximately five miles southwest of Troon, Scotland.
The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK was initiated from the northwest, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level to touch down on the runway. The landing was executed with a touchdown speed of 102 knots, which was within the target range. However, the touchdown point was slightly beyond the designated touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline. The total landing distance of 1,097 meters accounted for 40% of the runway's length, and the runway rollout alignment was deemed very good. The aircraft used a total of 634 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which covered a distance of 96 nautical miles and lasted for 29 minutes.
The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was conducted from the north west, aligning with the heading of 121.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,264 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with the threshold height at 59 feet above ground level being slightly above the target. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 102 knots, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -202 feet per minute was fair.
The touchdown point was located 56 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. However, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centreline, demonstrating good control during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 34°C and a light wind of 2 knots at 48°, contributed to a relatively straightforward landing. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the headwind component was 1 knot, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.
The total landing distance of 1,097 meters, accounting for 40% of the runway length, was acceptable. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and alignment during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 96.4%. While there were some minor deviations from the target parameters, the pilot demonstrated good control and adherence to standard operating procedures.
