The flight was conducted in an Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen aircraft, a lightweight and versatile plane. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than a nautical mile. The departure roll began on runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, and the takeoff distance was a mere 39 meters, which is just 1% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 40 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of the flight were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots blowing from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The pilot navigated the aircraft through a right-hand pattern entry from runway 30, covering a distance of less than a nautical mile in just 24 seconds.

As the aircraft continued through the pattern, it executed a right-hand pattern crosswind turn, completing the maneuver in 19 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was made at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 56 seconds to complete. The base leg turn was made at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.

The base leg was completed in less than a nautical mile in 24 seconds, and the final turn was made in 48 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 30, flying from the south-east at a heading of 303.0 degrees and an altitude of 289 feet above ground level.

The landing was executed on runway 30, which has a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height was significantly above the target, and the threshold speed was well above the target at 38 knots. However, the touchdown distance was good at 451 meters, and the touchdown speed was a respectable 28 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -97 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots blowing from a direction of 269 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 518 meters, which is just 19% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.

The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight took 5 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a mere 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight, demonstrating its exceptional efficiency. Overall, the flight was a success, with the pilot executing a series of precise and controlled maneuvers to bring the aircraft safely to the ground.

Landing Summary

The Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen, a pioneering aircraft, successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport on runway 30. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, heading 303.0° at an altitude of 289 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the final approach, setting the stage for a smooth landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed admirably, with a touchdown speed of 28 knots, which is well within the target range. The touchdown distance of 451 meters was also good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance. The touchdown rate of -97 feet per minute (fpm) was particularly impressive, showcasing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent and speed.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 knot, which further contributed to the smoothness of the landing. The runway threshold height of 92 feet agl was significantly above the target, but the pilot was able to compensate for this and still achieve a good touchdown.

The total landing distance of 518 meters, which is 19% of the runway length, was also noteworthy. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control to bring the aircraft to a stop within a relatively short distance, without compromising safety. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing roll.

Overall, the Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen's landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience. The aircraft's performance was impressive, and the landing was executed with precision and control.
