The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with registration NI22PC, successfully took off with a takeoff distance of 47 meters, which is just 2% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 97 knots, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 226 degrees.
As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern, it demonstrated impressive agility, completing the entry turn in less than 1 nautical mile in just 23 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was equally impressive, with the aircraft covering the same distance in a mere 8 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining an angle of 42.0 degrees to the runway and covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The downwind leg of the pattern was a bit longer, covering 3 nautical miles in 101 seconds, but the aircraft remained steady and on course. The base leg turn was another highlight, with the aircraft covering 2 nautical miles and maintaining an angle of 52.0 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was short, lasting just 12 seconds, and the final turn was completed in 38 seconds, bringing the aircraft onto the final approach.
The final approach was made from the north-west, heading 122.0 degrees, and at an altitude of 112 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down on runway 12, which is 2,737 meters long, with a threshold speed that was slightly above the target at 98 knots. The touchdown point was 160 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 69 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -24 feet per minute was perfect.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, being 3.6 meters off the centerline, but the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 1,294 meters, which is 47% of the runway length. The aircraft used 6 kilograms of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a total distance of 8 nautical miles and took 6 minutes to complete.

The aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with registration NI22PC, successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport on runway 12. The final approach was initiated from the north-west, heading 122.0° at an altitude of 112 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot demonstrated a high level of proficiency in navigating the aircraft to the runway, achieving a score of 97.4%.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 69 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was located 160 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed and rate were both excellent, with a rate of -24 feet per minute, which is considered perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 226°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the tailwind component was even weaker at 1 knot. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth landing.
The total landing distance of 1,294 meters was 47% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing roll and was able to bring it to a stop in a straight line.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency in navigating the aircraft to the runway and executing a smooth touchdown.
