This flight was conducted in a Cessna 152 aircraft, starting with an enroute climb from a low altitude of 37 feet above sea level (asl) to a higher altitude of 1,053 ft asl. The climb was rapid, with an increase of 1,016 ft in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This impressive climb rate allowed the aircraft to quickly gain altitude and reach its desired cruising height.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft began its descent from 1,058 ft asl to a lower altitude of 134 ft asl. The descent was also relatively quick, with a decrease of 924 ft in 2 minutes, covering the same distance of 1 nautical mile. This controlled descent allowed the aircraft to safely and efficiently return to its original altitude.
The final approach to runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was conducted from the south east, with the aircraft heading 306.0° at an altitude of 81 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The approach was executed smoothly, with the aircraft maintaining a perfect runway touchdown alignment.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 36 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 251 meters, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -83 feet per minute. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 339°.
The total landing distance was 365 meters, which was only 13% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft landed safely and efficiently, with a perfect runway rollout alignment. The flight was completed with a total distance of 2 nautical miles, taking 4 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used a relatively small amount of fuel, weighing in at 1 kilogram.

The Cessna 152 aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The final approach to runway 30 was conducted from the south east, aligning with the heading of 306.0° at an altitude of 81 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 54 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, this did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 251 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 36 knots was also within acceptable limits.
One of the notable aspects of this landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -83 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and with minimal impact, which is a key factor in ensuring the safety of the passengers and crew.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft aligning precisely with the centerline of the runway. This is a critical aspect of landing, as it helps to ensure that the aircraft remains stable and under control during the rollout phase.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 339°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, which made the landing even more challenging but ultimately successful.
The total landing distance of 365 meters was only 13% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft remaining aligned with the centerline of the runway throughout the rollout phase.
Overall, this landing was a textbook example of a well-executed and safe landing, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop quickly and efficiently. The pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the landing, and the aircraft's performance was exemplary.
