Arrival
The flight in question was conducted in a DA40-XLS aircraft, which took off from a location near Monkton in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The enroute climb phase began overhead Monkton, where the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 64 feet above sea level to 1,058 feet above sea level, a total increase of 994 feet in just one minute. This climb phase covered a distance of one nautical mile.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started one mile north of Monkton and lasted for two minutes. During this time, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered a distance of two nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The approach was made from the south east, with the aircraft heading 302.0 degrees at an altitude of 197 feet above ground level. The aircraft was at a distance of zero nautical miles from the runway threshold at this point.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 30, which has a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height at the time of landing was slightly above the target height, while the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 64 knots. The touchdown distance was good, measuring 367 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 50 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent, with a rate of -86 feet per minute.
However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft being 3.3 meters off the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of the flight were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot.
In total, the flight covered a distance of four nautical miles and lasted for four minutes, during which time the aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel.

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 99.4%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 302.0° at an altitude of 197 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft's approach was characterized by a slight deviation from the target threshold height, being 58 feet agl, which was slightly above the desired level.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly below the target at 64 knots, but the touchdown distance of 367 meters was considered good. The touchdown speed of 50 knots was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The most notable aspect of the landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -86 feet per minute (fpm), which demonstrates the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent and maintaining a stable approach.
However, there was a slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position, being 3.3 meters off the centerline. This deviation may be attributed to factors such as wind or pilot error, but it did not significantly impact the overall quality of the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
