The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the PA38 Tomahawk aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 646 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 88 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
After departing from Glasgow Prestwick Airport, the aircraft flew an enroute level cruise, which started overhead Troon in South Ayrshire, Scotland. This phase of the flight lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. Following this, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, which was located to the north-west. The aircraft was flying at an altitude of 194 feet above ground level and was heading in a direction of 121.0 degrees, approximately 1 nautical mile from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 12, which had a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 89 knots. The touchdown point was located 509 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a good 47 knots. The touchdown rate was also perfect at -7 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 5 knots from a direction of 268 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 3 knots and a tailwind of 4 knots.
The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -42 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The PA38 Tomahawk aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving an overall score of 80.0%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 121.0° at 1 nautical mile and 194 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, with a very good runway touchdown alignment.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 509 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal spot. However, the touchdown speed of 47 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -7 feet per minute (fpm) was also perfect, signifying a gentle and stable landing.
The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 89 knots. This suggests that the pilot may have been able to improve the approach by reducing the speed and maintaining a more stable descent. Despite this, the overall landing was considered good, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of control and precision.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 5 knots at 268°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, and the tailwind component was 4 knots, which is relatively minor. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and controlled landing.
