The flight in question was conducted in a DA40-XLS aircraft, which took off from a starting altitude of 67 feet above sea level (asl) and began its enroute climb from the area overhead Monkton in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The aircraft demonstrated a remarkable rate of climb, increasing its altitude by 880 feet in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This impressive performance allowed the aircraft to reach a cruising altitude of 947 feet asl.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. This stable and efficient cruise phase allowed the aircraft to conserve fuel and maintain a steady pace.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, which is located in the south east. The aircraft was flying at an altitude of 145 feet agl and a heading of 302.0°, with a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The approach was characterized by a slight deviation from the target threshold height, with the aircraft being slightly above the desired altitude at 57 feet agl.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 49 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 372 meters. The aircraft's touchdown rate was particularly impressive, with a rate of -91 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 225°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The aircraft's performance in these conditions was satisfactory, with the total landing distance measuring 617 meters, which was equivalent to 23% of the runway length.
Following the landing, the aircraft's rollout was characterized by perfect alignment, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's descent and touchdown. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, which was covered in 4 minutes, and the aircraft used a total of 38 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach was conducted from the south east, aligning with the runway 30 threshold at a heading of 302.0°. The aircraft was at 0 nm and 145 ft above ground level (agl) at this point, indicating a precise and controlled descent.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 49 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 372 m was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and made a smooth transition from the approach to the landing phase. The touchdown rate of -91 fpm was particularly impressive, demonstrating a high degree of precision and control.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle wind of 3 kt at 225°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind component of 3 kt and a headwind of 1 kt, which did not pose any significant challenges to the pilot. The runway length of 2,737 m was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 617 m, which was only 23% of the available runway.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and alignment throughout the landing phase. Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of skill and proficiency in the pilot, with a score of 98.2% indicating an exceptional performance.
