The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The Cessna 152 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 369 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 66 knots, marking the start of the flight.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 339 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot, resulting in a negligible impact on the flight.

The pilot then entered a left-hand pattern, navigating the aircraft around the airport. The entry into the pattern was swift, with the aircraft covering less than 1 nautical mile in just 23 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn also took place within a short distance, with the aircraft completing the maneuver in under 1 nautical mile in 23 seconds.

As the aircraft continued its pattern, it entered the downwind turn, which involved a 45-degree angle to the runway. The distance covered during this turn was 1 nautical mile, and the aircraft maintained a steady heading of 103.0 degrees. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long, taking 67 seconds to complete.

The pilot then initiated the base leg turn, which involved a 45-degree angle to the runway once again. The distance covered during this turn was 1 nautical mile, and the aircraft maintained a steady heading of 42.8 degrees. The base leg itself was less than 1 nautical mile long, taking 32 seconds to complete.

The final turn into the runway was executed quickly, with the aircraft covering less than 1 nautical mile in just 10 seconds. The pilot then lined up the aircraft for a final approach to runway 30, which was 2,737 meters long. The aircraft was approaching from the south-east, heading 301.0 degrees, and was at an altitude of 0 nautical miles and 159 feet above ground level.

The landing itself was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 37 knots. The touchdown distance was good, covering 340 meters, and the touchdown rate was excellent, with a rate of -85 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating a precise and controlled landing.

The flight was completed with a total distance of 5 nautical miles, taking 4 minutes to cover. The aircraft used a total of 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.

Landing Score 97.07 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna 152 aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 97.1%. The final approach was conducted from the south east, aligning with the runway 30 heading of 301.0° at an altitude of 159 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated good control and precision, touching down on the runway at a distance of 340 meters. The touchdown speed of 37 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -85 feet per minute (fpm) was particularly impressive, showcasing the pilot's exceptional skill in managing the aircraft's descent and landing.

The threshold height at 63 feet agl was slightly above the target, but this did not seem to affect the overall performance of the landing. The threshold speed of 57 knots was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained a steady and controlled approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 12°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 338°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to accurately navigate the aircraft onto the runway.

Overall, the landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance. The high score of 97.1% reflects the exceptional quality of the landing, and it is clear that the pilot had a thorough understanding of the aircraft's capabilities and the landing procedures.
