This flight was conducted in a Sierra C24R aircraft, which took off from a location near Monkton in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The enroute climb began from an altitude of 62 feet above sea level (asl) and reached a height of 137 feet asl within a minute, resulting in an increase of 75 feet. This climb was achieved while covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached Glasgow Prestwick Airport, it was heading in a southeasterly direction at a bearing of 310.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was at an altitude of 85 feet agl and had covered a distance of 0 nautical miles from the airport. The final approach to runway 30 was conducted from the south east.
Upon landing on runway 30, which has a length of 2,737 meters, the aircraft touched down with a speed of 53 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown point was located 179 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft had overshot the intended landing spot. However, the touchdown rate of -80 feet per minute was excellent, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind of 1 knot each. The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 908 meters, which accounted for 33% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
In terms of fuel consumption, the flight used a total of -6 kilograms of fuel, which is a significant reduction in fuel usage. The total flight distance was 1 nautical mile, and the flight duration was 3 minutes.

The aircraft, Sierra C24R, successfully landed on runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a score of 92.2%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 310.0° at 0 nm and 85 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, resulting in a perfect runway touchdown alignment.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 53 kt, which is considered good. The touchdown rate of -80 fpm was also excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 95 kt, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a lower touchdown speed.
The touchdown point was located 179 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing and avoid any significant deviations from the intended path. The total landing distance of 908 m was 33% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging. The pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft safely and efficiently in these conditions is a testament to their skill and experience.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown. While there were some areas for improvement, such as the threshold speed, the overall performance was excellent, and the aircraft was safely brought to a stop on the runway.
