The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, with the DA40-XLS aircraft taking off smoothly. The takeoff distance was 255 meters, which accounted for only 9% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 63 knots, indicating a steady and controlled ascent.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 270 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind provided a slight boost of 2 knots. The enroute climb started overhead Monkton, a small town in South Ayrshire, Scotland, where the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 452 feet above sea level to 114 feet above sea level, a gain of 338 feet in just 1 minute. This rapid climb covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 12 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport from the north-west, heading 121.0 degrees at an altitude of 61 feet above ground level and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed smoothly, with the threshold speed being slightly below the target at 61 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 187 meters, and the touchdown speed was also satisfactory at 48 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -75 feet per minute, indicating a controlled and gentle descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 5.9 meters. The local weather conditions during landing were similar to those during takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 269 degrees. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind provided a slight boost of 2 knots.

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a score of 97.0%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, aligning with the runway 12 threshold at a heading of 121.0°. At the point of landing, the aircraft was at an altitude of 61 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing was executed with good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height relative to the runway surface. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed, coming in at 61 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 187 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 48 knots.
One notable aspect of the landing was the excellent touchdown rate, which was recorded at -75 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and with minimal impact, suggesting a well-executed landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating from the centreline by 5.9 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the touchdown position. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a good score and demonstrating a high level of proficiency in landing techniques.
