The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza took off with a takeoff distance of 601 meters, which accounted for 22% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 81 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible headwind or crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed en route, it started overhead Monkton, a location in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The climb began at an altitude of 519 feet above sea level and reached a height of 354 feet above sea level, an increase of 165 feet, within a span of 2 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 3 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was initiated from a heading of 117.0 degrees, approximately 1 nautical mile from the runway, at an altitude of 295 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a steady course and speed throughout the approach.
Upon landing, the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza touched down on runway 12, which had a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed of 89 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory at 457 meters, and the touchdown speed was 68 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was particularly impressive, with a rate of -59 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
However, there was a slight deviation from the centerline, with the aircraft touching down 3.3 meters off-center. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible tailwind.
The flight was relatively short, covering a total distance of 4 nautical miles and lasting approximately 3 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.

The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 97.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-west, heading 117.0° at 1 nautical mile and 295 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled approach, with the pilot maintaining a steady heading and altitude.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 12, which has a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height was good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, indicating that the pilot may have been slightly too aggressive in their approach. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good at 457 meters, and the touchdown speed of 68 knots was within acceptable limits.
One of the standout aspects of this landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -59 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the pilot was able to smoothly and gradually bring the aircraft to a stop, minimizing the risk of damage to the aircraft or the runway. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation in the pilot's control during the final stages of the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind, making the landing even more challenging. Overall, the pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision during the landing, achieving a high score and a safe touchdown.
