The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with registration NI22PC, successfully took off. The takeoff distance covered 464 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 94 knots.

As the aircraft entered the local area, it encountered a relatively calm atmosphere with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot blowing from 227 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was zero. The pilot then initiated a right-hand pattern entry from runway 12, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nautical mile in 79 seconds.

The right-hand pattern crosswind was also executed with ease, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 11 seconds. The pilot then proceeded to the pattern downwind turn, which involved a 45-degree angle to the runway and a distance of 1 nautical mile. The turn was completed in 6.1 degrees, and the downwind leg was covered in 8 seconds.

The base leg turn was the next phase of the pattern, where the pilot executed a 2-nautical-mile turn at an angle of 175.4 degrees to the runway. The final approach to runway 30 was initiated from the south-east, with the aircraft heading 316.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 387 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 30 was successful, with the aircraft touching down 276 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was recorded at 70 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -129 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good.

The local weather conditions during the landing were slightly different, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind of 2 knots blowing from 149 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. The total landing distance covered 1,102 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.

In conclusion, the flight was completed with a total distance of 2 nautical miles, taking 3 minutes to cover the distance. The aircraft used 5 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly, with the pilot demonstrating good control and navigation skills throughout the flight.

Landing Summary

The aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with registration NI22PC, successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport on runway 30. The pilot's final approach was from the south east, aligning with the runway at a heading of 316.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 387 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was well-executed, with a threshold height slightly above the target, but the threshold speed was good at 93 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 70 knots, which was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -129 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 149°.

The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing. The total landing distance was 1,102 meters, which is 40% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot's approach and touchdown were well-executed. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was scored 86.5%, indicating a high level of proficiency and control demonstrated by the pilot. The combination of a good approach, smooth touchdown, and controlled rollout resulted in a safe and efficient landing.
