The Velocity XL aircraft departed from runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, rolling onto the runway and taking off with a distance of 82 meters, which is just 3% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 112 knots, indicating a smooth and efficient takeoff. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 3 knots from a direction of 228 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.

After takeoff, the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern, navigating the circuit in a clockwise direction. The entry into the pattern was swift, with the aircraft completing the turn in less than 1 nautical mile in just 19 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was also executed efficiently, taking only 9 seconds to complete. The downwind turn was made at an angle of 75.6 degrees to the runway, with the aircraft covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was 3 nautical miles long and took 71 seconds to complete.

As the aircraft began its base leg turn, it covered a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 22.8 degrees to the runway. The base leg was short, taking only 9 seconds to complete. The final turn into the runway was made in 23 seconds, bringing the aircraft onto the final approach. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north-west, heading 133.0 degrees, at an altitude of 417 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.

The final approach was made with a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was slightly too high at 98 knots. The aircraft touched down 305 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but at a speed of 68 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was also perfect, at -25 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, being 3.4 meters off the centerline.

The total landing distance was 1,075 meters, which is 39% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, taking 4 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used -3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the Velocity XL

Landing Score 94.74 %

Landing Summary

The Aircraft Velocity XL successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a score of 94.7%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 133.0° at 1 nautical mile and 417 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on runway 12, which has a length of 2,737 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly too high at 98 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 68 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -25 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect. The touchdown point was 305 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which indicates that the aircraft could have been brought down more smoothly.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the crosswind or tailwind conditions. The local weather conditions were relatively calm, with a temperature of 20°C, a wind speed of 3 knots at 228°, and a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.

The total landing distance was 1,075 meters, which is 39% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was brought down smoothly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of threshold speed and touchdown point accuracy. However, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were satisfactory, and the landing was executed safely and efficiently.
