The Diamond DA40 taxied to runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick and commenced the take-off roll. The aircraft accelerated through a takeoff distance of 341 m, representing 11 % of the available runway, and lifted off at 65 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, giving a 2 kt head-wind component and a 1 kt cross-wind component.

During the approach the flight executed a left-hand pattern entry from runway 30, covering less than 1 nm in 22 seconds, followed by a left-hand crosswind leg of under 1 nm in 26 seconds. The downwind turn spanned 1 nm with an angle to the runway of 152.5°, after which the downwind leg was completed in under 1 nm in 27 seconds. The base-leg turn again covered 1 nm, aligning the aircraft to 9.4° to the runway. On final approach the aircraft descended from 622 ft agl to 51 ft agl in 33 seconds and met the stabilisation gate criteria.

The landing was executed on runway 30, whose total length is 2 978 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 72 kt, and touchdown occurred 283 m down the runway at 55 kt with a smooth vertical speed of minus 120 fpm. Alignment on touchdown was described as perfect, and the local weather remained 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 269°, maintaining the same head-wind and cross-wind components as earlier.

Rollout continued without deviation; the total landing distance measured 425 m, equivalent to 14 % of the runway, and the aircraft remained perfectly aligned throughout the rollout phase.

In total the flight covered 3 nm, required approximately 3 minutes of flight time, and consumed 0 kg of fuel.
