The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with registration NI22PC, successfully took off with a takeoff distance of 58 meters, which is 2% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 99 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

After taking off, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 30, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles in 20 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 14 seconds. The pilot then executed a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 25.0 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 3 nautical miles long and took 96 seconds to complete.

Following the downwind leg, the pilot initiated a base leg turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 19.4 degrees to the runway. The final approach to runway 30 was made from the south-east, with the aircraft heading 301.0 degrees at an altitude of 0 nautical miles and 94 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 30 was successful, with the touchdown point located 272 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 77 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -96 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions remained the same as during takeoff.

The total landing distance was 1,656 meters, which is 61% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 10 nautical miles, taking 9 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 5 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with the registration NI22PC, successfully landed at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) on runway 30. The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision throughout the final approach, achieving a score of 94.4%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south east, heading 301.0° at an altitude of 94 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon reaching the runway, the pilot maintained a good threshold height and adhered to the recommended threshold speed of 93 knots. The touchdown point was 272 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 77 knots was slightly below the recommended threshold speed, indicating a controlled descent.

The touchdown rate of -96 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a consistent heading and alignment with the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°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 helped to stabilize the approach.

The total landing distance of 1,656 meters was 61% of the available runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and avoided any deviations from the centerline.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown phases. The aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills were well-suited to the local weather conditions, resulting in a safe and controlled landing.
