The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with registration NI22PC, successfully took off after a distance of 466 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 95 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern from runway 30, it covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 79 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 39 seconds, covering the same distance of 2 nautical miles. The pattern downwind turn was a significant maneuver, requiring the aircraft to cover a distance of 5 nautical miles at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, which translated to an angle of 22.5 degrees.

The pattern downwind leg was a short and swift maneuver, covering less than 1 nautical mile in just 14 seconds. The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 118 degrees at an altitude of 649 feet above ground level and a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 12 was a successful one, with the aircraft touching down 110 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 67 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -18 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating a high degree of precision and control during the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,127 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent after touchdown.

In conclusion, the flight was a successful one, with the aircraft completing a total distance of 14 nautical miles in 9 minutes, using 11 kilograms of fuel in the process. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were evident throughout the flight, from the departure roll to the landing on runway 12.

Landing Score 96.98 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with the registration NI22PC, successfully landed at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) on runway 12. The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision throughout the final approach, maintaining a heading of 118.0° from a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 649 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon reaching the runway, the pilot touched down at a speed of 97 kt, which was slightly above the target threshold speed. However, the touchdown point was 110 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight over-run. The touchdown speed of 67 kt was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -18 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, suggesting a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 kt from a direction of 269°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind component of 1 kt and a tailwind of 2 kt, which did not significantly impact the landing.

The total landing distance of 1,127 meters was 41% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control and alignment throughout the landing roll.

Overall, the pilot's performance was excellent, with a score of 97.0% indicating a high level of proficiency and control. The landing was characterized by a smooth and controlled descent, a good touchdown speed, and a perfect touchdown rate. The pilot's ability to maintain alignment and control throughout the landing roll was also noteworthy.
