The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, with the DA42-VI aircraft taking off smoothly. The takeoff distance was 155 meters, which accounted for 6% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 88 knots, indicating a steady and controlled ascent. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot from the northwest, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed, it began its enroute climb overhead Monkton, a location in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The climb started at an altitude of 357 feet above sea level and reached 607 feet in just one minute, covering a distance of one nautical mile. This rapid ascent demonstrated the aircraft's ability to efficiently gain altitude.
The final approach to runway 12 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport was initiated from the northwest, with the aircraft heading 118.0 degrees at an altitude of 539 feet above ground level and a distance of one nautical mile from the runway. The approach was characterized by a gentle wind of 1 knot from the northwest, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.
The landing on runway 12 was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 72 knots, which was slightly faster than ideal. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -52 feet per minute, indicating a gentle and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also spot on, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control.
The total landing distance was 808 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway length. The aircraft used a total of 4 nautical miles of fuel during the flight, which lasted for 4 minutes. The flight also resulted in a fuel consumption of -5 kilograms, indicating a slight decrease in fuel weight, possibly due to the aircraft's efficient engine or other factors.
Overall, the flight was characterized by smooth and controlled takeoff, climb, approach, and landing, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skill and control throughout the flight.

The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 95.1%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 118.0° at 1 nautical mile and 539 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 12.
The runway at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport has a length of 2,737 meters, providing ample space for the aircraft to touch down safely. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 100 knots, which may have been a result of the aircraft's approach configuration or the pilot's decision-making.
The touchdown distance of 456 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively after touching down. However, the touchdown speed of 72 knots was a little fast, suggesting that the aircraft may have been able to slow down further before touching down. The touchdown rate of -52 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to absorb the impact of landing smoothly.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway as it touched down. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot, which had a minimal impact on the aircraft's landing.
The total landing distance of 808 meters was 30% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop safely within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to maintain control and stability after landing. Overall, the DA42-VI aircraft performed well during the landing, achieving a high score and demonstrating its capabilities as a safe and reliable aircraft.
