Departure from Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) commenced with a roll on runway 12, with the Britten Norman Trislander BN2 accelerating to a liftoff speed of 94 kt. The aircraft utilized 36% of the available runway length, covering a distance of 986 m. Local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 16 °C and a negligible wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a minimal crosswind and tailwind component.

Following a left-hand pattern entry, the aircraft navigated the circuit, executing a series of turns and legs to establish a stable approach configuration. The pattern downwind turn, which covered a distance of 2 nm, was conducted at an angle of 92.3° to the runway. The subsequent downwind leg, base leg, and final turn were all executed within the expected parameters, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 121.0° during the final approach. The aircraft touched down on runway 12, which measured 2,737 m in length, at a speed of 48 kt and a rate of -74 fpm, with a touchdown distance of 283 m. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating 6.2 m from the centreline.

The landing was characterized by a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 66 kt. The total landing distance of 543 m represented 20% of the available runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was deemed very good. The aircraft utilized a total of 8 nm of distance during the flight, consuming 4 kg of fuel in the process. The flight duration was approximately 7 minutes, with the aircraft maintaining a stable and controlled configuration throughout the circuit and landing phases.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport from the north west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 121.0° at 0 nm and 207 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 66 kt, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 283 m was good, and the touchdown speed of 48 kt was also within the desired parameters. The touchdown rate of -74 fpm was particularly impressive, demonstrating exceptional control and precision.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.2 m from the centreline, a minor deviation that did not significantly impact the overall performance. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 1 kt each, further facilitating a smooth and controlled touchdown.

The rollout phase was executed with great skill, with the aircraft maintaining very good alignment with the runway centreline. The total landing distance of 543 m, which accounted for only 20% of the runway length, was a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities. Overall, the landing was a creditable performance, with a score of 98.3% reflecting the high standards achieved in terms of approach quality, touchdown characteristics, and rollout alignment.
