Landing Score 99.83 %

Landing Summary

The GA-8 Airvan Commuter aircraft, registered as N13AV, successfully landed at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) with an impressive score of 99.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south east, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 299.0°, approximately 1 nautical mile from the threshold and at an altitude of 456 feet above ground level (agl).

The landing was executed on runway 30, which has a length of 2,737 meters. The pilot demonstrated excellent control, achieving a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was well above the target, reaching 74 knots. This indicates a high degree of precision and control during the approach phase.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed well, with a touchdown distance of 364 meters, which is within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 57 knots was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was perfect at -32 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's descent and was able to maintain a stable and controlled rate of descent.

The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 269°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which would have actually helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.

Overall, the landing of the GA-8 Airvan Commuter aircraft, N13AV, at Glasgow Prestwick Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed landing, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
