Landing Score 90.43 %

Landing Summary

The GA-8 Airvan CAP Commuter aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a score of 90.4%. The final approach to runway 30 was conducted from the south east, with a heading of 303.0° at an altitude of 135 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height at 73 feet agl was well above the target, indicating a safe margin for the aircraft to descend and touch down. The threshold speed of 70 knots was also met, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the approach.

The touchdown point was 49 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 50 knots was achieved, and the touchdown rate of -77 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, showing that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 269°.
