The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, a DA40-NG, then departed from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, with a takeoff distance of 390 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 74 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff 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 headwind of 2 knots. The pilot then entered a right-hand pattern from runway 30, covering a distance of less than a nautical mile in 30 seconds.

As the aircraft continued its right-hand pattern, it encountered a crosswind from runway 30, which it navigated in 19 seconds. The pilot then executed a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile and making an angle of 88.0 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 64 seconds.

The pilot then initiated a base leg turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile and making an angle of 55.1 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself covered a distance of less than a nautical mile in 23 seconds. The final turn was executed in 43 seconds, after which the aircraft began its final approach to runway 30 from the south-east, heading 302.0 degrees at an altitude of 173 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 30 was successful, with a threshold height that was considered good and a threshold speed of 68 knots. The touchdown distance was also good, at 296 meters, and the touchdown speed was 54 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent, at -75 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.5 meters.

The total landing distance was 517 meters, which accounted for 19% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, which was completed in 5 minutes, and the aircraft used 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing technique. The final approach was conducted from the south east, aligning with the runway 30 threshold at a heading of 302.0° and an altitude of 173 feet above ground level (agl) at 0 nautical miles from the runway.

The pilot's performance during the approach was impressive, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The threshold speed of 68 knots was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 296 meters was within the expected range, and the touchdown speed of 54 knots was consistent with a safe and controlled landing.

One notable aspect of the landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -75 feet per minute (fpm), which is a testament to the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent and speed. However, there was a slight deviation from the centerline, with the runway touchdown position being 3.5 meters off-center. This minor misalignment did not appear to have any significant impact on the overall landing performance.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which further contributed to a smooth and controlled landing.

The total landing distance of 517 meters was within 19% of the runway length, indicating a safe and efficient use of the available runway space. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase.

Overall, the DA40-NG aircraft's landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency in approach and landing techniques.
