Flight Score
Departure
Ease back pressure in smoothly as you approach 78 kt, holding a steady rotation rate rather than snatching the controls.
What happened: On the takeoff roll the aircraft bounced before becoming fully airborne.
Watch for: Attitude indicator: a smooth, continuous pitch-up through liftoff with no secondary bounce.
See Departure Roll
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
At the 1,000 ft gate: off the centreline.

Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,737 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 276 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The aircraft, a Carenado CT210N, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 74 kt. The takeoff distance was 405 m, which accounted for 15% of the runway length.
As the aircraft entered the local airspace, it encountered a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 2 kt at 269 °. The crosswind component was 1 kt, while the headwind component was 2 kt. The pilot navigated the aircraft through a right-hand pattern entry from runway 30, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nm in 174 seconds.
The right-hand pattern crosswind was completed in a similarly short distance of less than 1 nm in 6 seconds. The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 4 nm at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was completed in less than 1 nm in 10 seconds.
The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was made from the north-west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 144.0 ° at 4 nm and 1,011 ft above ground level. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 70 kt. The touchdown distance was 275 m, and the touchdown rate was an excellent -86 fpm.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 16 °C and a wind of 2 kt at 270 °, resulting in a crosswind component of 1 kt and a tailwind component of 2 kt. The pilot's performance was impressive, with a perfect runway touchdown alignment and a good threshold height. The aircraft used a total of 3 kg of fuel for the flight, which covered a distance of 6 nm and took approximately 6 minutes to complete.
The Carenado CT210N aircraft successfully landed at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) on runway 12. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 144.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,011 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the approach, resulting in a perfect touchdown alignment on the runway.
The landing was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway threshold. The threshold speed of 84 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach. The touchdown distance of 275 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance.
The touchdown speed of 70 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -86 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which did not pose any significant challenges to the pilot.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, and the pilot demonstrated excellent skills and knowledge of the aircraft and the weather conditions. The score of 98.9% reflects the high level of proficiency and competence displayed during the landing.
