The flight began with a departure roll from runway 21 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, with the DA40-XLS aircraft taking off in a relatively short distance of 111 meters, which accounted for just 6% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 59 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb approximately 1 mile northeast of Prestwick. The climb started from an altitude of 177 feet above sea level and gradually increased to 152 feet, a rise of 26 feet over the course of just 1 minute. This climb phase covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The final approach to runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 299.0 degrees at an altitude of 99 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with precision, with the touchdown point being 745 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a respectable 46 knots, and the touchdown rate was an excellent -52 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were identical to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also spot on.
The total landing distance was 1,658 meters, which accounted for 61% of the runway length. The aircraft used a total of 1 kilogram of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a distance of 2 nautical miles and took approximately 3 minutes to complete.

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach to runway 30 was executed from the east, with a heading of 299.0° at an altitude of 99 ft above ground level (agl) and 0 nm from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 46 kt, which was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was 745 m beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot had some room for improvement in terms of precision. However, the touchdown speed and rate were both excellent, with a rate of -52 fpm, which is a testament to the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's descent.
The threshold height at 77 ft agl was above the target, but the threshold speed of 71 kt was good. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle headwind of 2 kt at 270°. The crosswind was minimal, at 1 kt, which made the landing even more manageable.
The total landing distance of 1,658 m was 61% of the runway length, which is a respectable figure. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of skill and proficiency in the pilot, and the DA40-XLS aircraft performed well under the given conditions.
