Landing Summary

The Navion L-17B aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, aligning itself with the runway 30 at a heading of 300.0°. At an altitude of 91 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway, the pilot expertly guided the aircraft onto the runway.

The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 64 knots, which is well within the target range. The touchdown distance of 468 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the descent. The touchdown rate of -104 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, further emphasizing the pilot's skill and experience.

The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 78 knots. However, this minor deviation did not affect the overall outcome of the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to accurately judge the aircraft's position and speed.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 269°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, providing a stable and predictable environment for the landing. Overall, the Navion L-17B's landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
