The flight was conducted in a TBM 850 aircraft, departing from Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) on runway 30. The taxiing time from the parking to the runway took less than one minute and covered a distance of less than one nautical mile. Upon departure, the aircraft lifted off the ground with a speed of 92 knots and a takeoff distance of 499 meters, which accounted for 18 percent of the runway.

The local weather conditions presented a relatively calm atmosphere, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 kilometer per hour. The wind direction was from 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible headwind and crosswind. Following departure, the aircraft executed a right-hand pattern entry from runway 30, completing the turn in less than one nautical mile within 24 seconds.

As the aircraft navigated the approach pattern, it encountered a slight crosswind from the runway 30. However, the turn was executed with ease, covering a distance of less than one nautical mile within 7 seconds. The pattern then progressed to a downwind turn with an angle of 45 degrees and a distance of 1 nautical mile, followed by a downwind leg that covered 3 nautical miles within 67 seconds.

Upon completing the downwind leg, the aircraft initiated the base leg turn, which covered a distance of 2 nautical miles and had an angle of 45 degrees. The base leg itself was short, covering less than one nautical mile in 11 seconds. The final turn was executed, leading the aircraft on its final approach to runway 30.

On the final approach, the aircraft descended from an altitude of 474 feet above ground level (agl) while heading 305.0 degrees. The approach was made with a good threshold height, but thethreshold speed was slightly higher than optimal at 86 knots. In contrast, the touchdown speed was well within acceptable limits at 60 knots. The touchdown point was situated 246 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown rate of -110 feet per minute.

The total landing distance covered 1,061 meters, which accounted for 39 percent of the runway. Runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained control throughout its descent and landing. Overall, the flight demonstrated a high level of precision and control, with a fuel usage of 16 kilograms and a total distance of 9 nautical miles covered in five minutes.
