The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, a Beechcraft Duke taking to the skies. The aircraft required a takeoff distance of 472 meters, which was 17% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 91 knots, marking the start of the flight.
As the aircraft climbed out of Glasgow Prestwick Airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 23 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 170 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, with 1 knot of crosswind and 1 knot of headwind. The enroute climb started overhead Monkton, a small town in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The aircraft climbed from an altitude of 324 meters above sea level to 427 meters, an increase of 103.4 meters, in less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile west of Mossblown, another town in South Ayrshire. This phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The final approach to runway 21 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 201.0 degrees at an altitude of 32.3 meters above ground level.
The landing on runway 21 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a distance of 426 meters. The touchdown speed was 61 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -1.1 meters per second. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 23 degrees Celsius and a wind of 2 knots at 170 degrees.
The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 4 minutes. The aircraft used 22 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly, with a good landing and minimal fuel consumption.

The Beechcraft Duke successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a score of 99.0%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north, heading 201.0° at an altitude of 32.3 meters above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the final approach, ensuring a smooth and controlled descent onto the runway.
The landing was executed on runway 21, which has a length of 1,825 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 85 knots, which may have been due to the pilot's cautious approach or the aircraft's performance characteristics.
The touchdown distance of 426 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown speed of 61 knots was also within acceptable limits, suggesting that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively before touching down on the runway. However, the touchdown rate of -1.1 meters per second was only fair, which may indicate that the pilot could have achieved a smoother touchdown with more precise control over the aircraft's descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was reported as very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline during the final approach. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 23°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 170°. The crosswind and headwind components were both minimal, at 1 knot each, which would have made the landing even easier for the pilot.
Overall, the Beechcraft Duke's landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
