The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a PA28 Arrow III, accelerated down the 450-meter runway, covering 16% of its length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 85 knots, marking the start of the takeoff phase.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 16°C temperature and a gentle wind of 2 knots from the west. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile west of Mossblown, where the aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 685 feet above sea level to 428 feet, a gain of 256 feet in less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Upon reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, approaching from the southeast at a heading of 327.0° and an altitude of 359 feet above ground level. The aircraft was 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold at this point.
The landing phase was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 59 knots. The touchdown point was 157 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown rate was perfect at -39 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was spot on. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 20°C temperature and a wind of 3 knots from the southwest, with a crosswind component of 3 knots and a headwind component of 1 knot.
The total landing distance covered was 1,141 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 2 minutes, during which the aircraft consumed 102 kilograms of fuel.

The PA28 Arrow III aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a score of 91.0%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, heading 327.0° at 1 nautical mile and 359 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 77 knots, indicating a slight over-speed. However, the touchdown speed of 59 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -39 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and precision.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 231°. The crosswind component was 3 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. These conditions did not pose a significant challenge to the pilot, and the aircraft's performance was not affected.
The total landing distance of 1,141 meters was 42% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing, resulting in a smooth and efficient touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the post-landing phase.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and precision. The aircraft's performance was excellent, and the landing was conducted in a safe and controlled manner.
