The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The DA42-VI aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 540 meters, which is 20% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 85 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.
After takeoff, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern, which was completed in a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 121 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was also flown, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 41 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind turn, which involved a turn of 45 degrees at an angle of 2.4 degrees to the runway. This turn was completed over a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The downwind leg of the pattern was flown in a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 4 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, which was located to the north-west. The aircraft was at an altitude of 539 feet above ground level (agl) and was heading in the direction of 119.0 degrees, which is 1 nautical mile from the runway.
The landing on runway 12 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 57 knots. The touchdown distance was good, covering a distance of 230 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly above the target speed of 76 knots, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -85 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.7 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 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 tailwind of 2 knots. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 97.4%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, aligning with the runway 12 heading of 119.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 539 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good distance of 230 meters. The touchdown speed of 57 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -85 feet per minute was particularly impressive, demonstrating excellent control and precision during the landing.
However, there were a few minor deviations from the ideal landing performance. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 76 knots, which may indicate a slight delay in the flare or a slightly higher than expected approach speed. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline, which may require some adjustments to the pilot's alignment and control during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly higher than expected threshold speed. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision during the approach and touchdown.
