The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, with the Sierra C24R aircraft taking off after a distance of 181 meters, which accounted for 7% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 82 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Monkton, South Ayrshire, Scotland, rising from an altitude of 415 feet above sea level to 1,899 feet, an increase of 1,485 feet in just 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles, starting 1 mile southwest of Dreghorn, North Ayrshire, Scotland.
The final approach to runway 12 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 121.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,244 feet above ground level, and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed on the runway, which had a length of 2,737 meters, and the threshold height was slightly above the target, while the threshold speed was also slightly above the target at 76 knots.
The touchdown distance was good, measuring 394 meters, and the touchdown speed was also within acceptable limits at 57 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent, with a rate of -89 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as during takeoff, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.
The total flight distance was 12 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 9 minutes, during which the aircraft used 5 kilograms of fuel.

The aircraft, Sierra C24R, successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport with a high score of 99.1%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 121.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,244 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft then touched down on runway 12, which has a length of 2,737 meters.
The threshold height at 57 feet agl was slightly above the target, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal approach path. However, the threshold speed of 76 knots was also slightly above the target, suggesting that the aircraft may have been slightly fast during the approach. Despite these minor deviations, the touchdown distance of 394 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 57 knots was also within acceptable limits.
One of the standout aspects of this landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -89 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with a high degree of control and precision, minimizing the risk of damage to the aircraft or the runway. Additionally, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well-aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component, making the landing conditions ideal. Overall, the Sierra C24R's landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and touchdown.
