Flight Score
Arrival
Reduce power earlier on approach to be at 100 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just by the threshold.
What happened: The approach was too fast at the stabilisation gate, crossing the threshold at 102 kt against a VREF of 100 kt.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator against 100 kt at the stabilisation gate.
See Arrival Approach
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. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 500 ft gate: speed 19 kt FAST on the reference speed of 100 kt.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,731 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 733 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Glasgow Prestwick Airport, the Phenom 300E began its takeoff roll on runway 30, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 126 kt in a distance of 1,597 m, which accounted for 58% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component. As the aircraft lifted off, it transitioned into a steady climb, establishing a stable flight path.
Following a left-hand pattern entry from runway 30, the Phenom 300E navigated the traffic pattern with ease, completing the downwind turn in a distance of 3 nm at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway. The subsequent downwind leg was executed in a mere 6 seconds, showcasing the aircraft's agility and responsiveness. As the aircraft began its final approach to runway 12, it maintained a heading of 114.0° at an altitude of 933 ft above ground level (agl) and a distance of 2 nm from the runway threshold. The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 89 kt and a rate of -62 fpm, indicating an excellent touchdown performance.
The Phenom 300E landed on runway 12, a 2,737 m long surface, with a touchdown point located 313 m beyond the touchdown zone. The total landing distance of 1,307 m accounted for 48% of the available runway length, while the runway rollout alignment was deemed very good. The aircraft's performance was further highlighted by its fuel efficiency, with a total fuel consumption of -89 kg over the 8 nm flight distance, which was completed in 5 minutes. Overall, the flight demonstrated the Phenom 300E's capabilities in terms of takeoff, landing, and overall performance.
The aircraft touched down on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport with a threshold height that met the desired standards. The pilot maintained a steady approach, aligning with the runway at a heading of 114.0° from a distance of 2 nautical miles and 933 feet above ground level. The aircraft's speed was well-managed, reaching the threshold speed of 103 knots at the appropriate moment.
The touchdown was characterized by a speed of 89 knots and an excellent rate of descent of -62 feet per minute. The aircraft's alignment with the runway was very good, with the touchdown point located 313 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°, contributed to a smooth and stable approach. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each.
The aircraft's rollout was equally impressive, with a very good alignment with the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 1,307 meters, which accounted for 48% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was deemed to be of high quality, with a score of 96.0%. The pilot's skill and attention to detail were evident throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases, resulting in a safe and efficient landing.
