This flight was conducted in a Piper Aerostar 600 aircraft, registered as NI22PC. The aircraft taxied from the parking area to the runway in less than a minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, with a takeoff distance of 409 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 94 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind. As the aircraft climbed, it started to ascend from an altitude of 1,034 feet above sea level to 1,627 feet, an increase of 593 feet in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This enroute climb phase took place overhead Monkton, South Ayrshire, Scotland.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began overhead Loans, South Ayrshire, Scotland. During this phase, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 4 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was initiated from the north-west, with the aircraft heading 119.0° at an altitude of 1,017 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing on runway 12 was executed with good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown speed. The touchdown distance was 458 meters, which was within the acceptable limits. The touchdown speed was 72 knots, and the touchdown rate was an excellent -60 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 231°, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 1 knot.
The total landing distance was 856 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used 10 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with the registration NI22PC, successfully landed at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) on runway 12. The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision throughout the final approach, achieving a high score of 98.1%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north-west, heading 119.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,017 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the pilot maintained a good threshold height and speed, touching down at 92 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 458 meters. The touchdown speed of 72 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -60 feet per minute was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation from the centerline, with the aircraft touching down 3.9 meters off the runway's centerline. This minor misalignment did not appear to affect the overall performance of the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 231°.
The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the tailwind component was even weaker at 1 knot. As a result, the pilot was able to maintain a stable approach and landing. The total landing distance of 856 meters was within 31% of the runway's length, indicating a controlled and efficient landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and control throughout the approach and landing.
