Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport took less than a minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The Britten Norman Trislander BN2 then began its departure roll on runway 30, utilizing 344 meters, or 13% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 87 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff featured a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

Following takeoff, the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern, navigating a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 21 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 7 seconds, demonstrating the aircraft's agility and responsiveness. The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles while maintaining an angle of 42.3° relative to the runway. The final approach to runway 12, located at the northwestern end of the airport, was executed from a heading of 121.0° at an altitude of 255 feet above ground level, 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold.

The landing on runway 12 was characterized by a good threshold height, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 47 knots and a distance of 284 meters, or 20% of the runway's length. The touchdown rate was an excellent -83 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.4 meters. The total landing distance was 557 meters, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The flight, which covered a total distance of 5 nautical miles, utilized 3 kilograms of fuel and lasted approximately 6 minutes.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was executed from the north west, with the aircraft heading 121.0° at 1 nm and 255 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and threshold speed of 62 kt. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, touching down at a speed of 47 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 284 m was also good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited an excellent touchdown rate of -83 fpm, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 m from the centreline, which may require some adjustment in the approach path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a relatively stable and predictable approach.

The total landing distance of 557 m, which accounted for 20% of the runway length, was within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 99.0%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
