The Boeing C17 aircraft departed from runway 12 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, EGPK, with a takeoff distance of 42 meters, which is just 2% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 55 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind effect.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 12, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile covered in just 22 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 29 seconds, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The pattern downwind leg was the longest, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles in 94 seconds.
The pattern base leg turn was a critical phase of the flight, with the aircraft turning at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, and an angle of 37.4 degrees to the runway centerline. This turn was completed in 1 nautical mile, and the subsequent base leg was covered in just 36 seconds, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The final approach to runway 12 was made from the north-west, with a heading of 121.0 degrees, and an altitude of 187 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 307 meters, and a touchdown speed of 49 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect, at -19 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.
The local weather conditions remained the same throughout the flight, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind effects were negligible, and the aircraft used a total of 1 kilogram of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a distance of 5 nautical miles, and took a total of 5 minutes to complete.

The Boeing C17 aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 93.7%. The final approach to runway 12 was conducted from the north-west, with a heading of 121.0° at an altitude of 187 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft's performance during the landing was impressive, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 57 knots, which was well below the target speed. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain control and avoid stalling the aircraft, which is a critical aspect of safe landing procedures.
The touchdown distance of 307 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a steady and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 49 knots was equally impressive, as it was within the acceptable range for a safe landing. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of -19 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and without any sudden deceleration.
The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a steady and controlled approach to the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both minimal, at 1 knot each, which further contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
Overall, the Boeing C17 aircraft's landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was a textbook example of safe and controlled flight procedures, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skill and expertise in navigating the aircraft to a safe and successful touchdown.
