Flight Score
Departure
Ease the back pressure on the yoke after rotation so the pitch change is smoother and g force stays lower.
What happened: During the initial climb the average g force reached 1.3 g, a high value for that phase.
Watch for: G meter: smooth, steady value in the normal climb band
Arrival
Fly a steeper descent on final so you cross the threshold at 50 ft agl instead of 69 ft agl.
What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 69 ft agl against a 50 ft agl target, well above the normal profile. The touchdown point was also long at 767 m against a 457 m target, a pattern often seen after high threshold crossings.
Watch for: Radio altimeter against the 50 ft threshold crossing target on short final.
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,978 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 767 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Glasgow Prestwick Airport, the Phenom 300E began its takeoff roll on runway 12, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 129 kt. The aircraft cleared the runway threshold at 1,963 meters, utilizing 72% of the available length. The climb phase commenced shortly after, as the aircraft transitioned from a ground roll to a steady ascent, reaching an altitude of 2,943 feet above sea level. This increase of 1,934 feet was achieved in just one minute, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles.
As the aircraft continued on its enroute phase, it began its descent over Coylton, South Ayrshire, Scotland. The Phenom 300E smoothly transitioned from a climb to a descent, reducing its altitude by 1,487 feet in two minutes, while maintaining a steady pace of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered the final approach phase, aligning itself with runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport from the south east. The approach was conducted at a heading of 300.0°, with the aircraft at 1,400 feet above ground level and 4 nautical miles from the runway.
The Phenom 300E touched down on runway 30, with a touchdown speed of 92 kt and a smooth touchdown rate of -137 feet per minute. The aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the touchdown point located 342 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The total flight distance was 13 nautical miles, with a total flight time of six minutes. The Phenom 300E utilized 20 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which was conducted under local weather conditions of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 kt at 270°.
The final approach to runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport from the south east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 300.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,400 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a slight deviation from the target threshold height of 69 feet above ground level, resulting in a height of 1,400 feet at 4 nautical miles. The aircraft's speed was well-managed, with a threshold speed of 103 knots achieved as expected.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown point was located 342 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun. However, the touchdown speed of 92 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -137 feet per minute was smooth, indicating a well-controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 86.9%. The aircraft's ability to maintain a stable approach and touchdown speed, combined with a smooth touchdown rate, were key factors in achieving a successful landing. However, the slight overrun and deviation from the target threshold height were notable areas for improvement.
