The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, with the DA42-VI aircraft taking off in a relatively short distance of 138 meters, which accounted for just 5% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 83 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 12, and the entry was completed in a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 76 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was also relatively short, taking less than 1 nautical mile to complete in 20 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was a bit longer, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a turn angle of 0.9 degrees.
The final approach to runway 30 was made from the south-east, with the aircraft heading 302 degrees at an altitude of 448 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing on runway 30 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 414 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed of 55 knots was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -35 feet per minute was perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, and the local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees.
The crosswind component was 1 knot, and the headwind component was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance was 743 meters, which accounted for just 27% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the flight took 3 minutes to complete, with a fuel consumption of 1 kilogram.

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 96.5%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 302.0° at 1 nautical mile and 448 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on runway 30.
The runway at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport has a length of 2,737 meters, providing a sufficient distance for the aircraft to touch down and come to a stop. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly too high at 85 knots, which may have required some adjustments to be made by the pilot.
The touchdown distance of 414 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 55 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -35 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without any excessive deceleration. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing.
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 at 270°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.
The total landing distance of 743 meters was 27% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop quickly and efficiently after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft during the rollout phase of the landing.
Overall, the DA42-VI aircraft demonstrated excellent landing skills and precision during the approach and landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The high score of 96.5% reflects the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance during the landing.
