The flight was conducted in a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza aircraft. Taxiing from the parking area to the runway took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than one nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, with a takeoff distance of 417 meters, which is 15% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 86 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component. The aircraft then entered a left-hand pattern from runway 30, covering a distance of less than one nautical mile in 16 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 17 seconds.

The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, which covered a distance of one nautical mile at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 56 seconds to complete. The base leg turn was then executed, covering a distance of one nautical mile at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway. The final approach to runway 30 was made from the southeast, with a heading of 301.0 degrees at an altitude of 116 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 30 was successful, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 84 knots, but the touchdown distance of 397 meters was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 65 knots was also good, and the touchdown rate of -42 feet per minute was perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.

The total landing distance was 774 meters, which is 28% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, which was completed in 4 minutes, and the aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza

Landing Score 99.91 %

Landing Summary

The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, aligning itself with the runway heading of 301.0° at a mere 0 nm and 116 ft above ground level (agl). This precise control allowed the pilot to maintain a stable and controlled descent.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's altitude and airspeed. The threshold speed, however, was slightly above the target speed of 84 kt, suggesting that the pilot may have been slightly cautious in their approach. Nevertheless, this did not compromise the overall performance of the landing.

The touchdown distance of 397 m was well within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 65 kt was also satisfactory. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was a perfect -42 fpm. This indicates that the pilot had expertly managed the aircraft's descent, ensuring a smooth and controlled touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt from 269°. This minimal wind made it easier for the pilot to maintain control of the aircraft during the approach and landing. The crosswind and headwind components were negligible, further contributing to the smoothness of the landing.

The total landing distance of 774 m was only 28% of the runway length, demonstrating the pilot's exceptional control and precision. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase.

Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, showcasing a high level of proficiency and control. The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza performed admirably, and the pilot's expertise ensured a safe and successful landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport.
