MY FS FLIGHTS
The flight began with the departure roll from runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport, EGPK. The aircraft, Sirius, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 211 meters, which was 8% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 63 knots, marking the start of the flight.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The flight then transitioned to an enroute level cruise, which lasted for just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This brief cruise phase took place overhead Monkton, a location in South Ayrshire, Scotland.
The final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was initiated from the west, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 75.0 degrees at an altitude of 470 feet above ground level. The approach was made at a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 12, which had a length of 2,737 meters. However, the touchdown point was located 700 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was a respectable 35 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at 13 feet per minute. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. The crosswind component was still minimal at 1 knot, but the tailwind component was now 2 knots.
In conclusion, the flight was relatively short, covering a total distance of 3 nautical miles and lasting 3 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, indicating a highly efficient operation.

The aircraft, identified as Sirius, has completed a landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, with a final approach from the west. The aircraft was heading 75.0° at an altitude of 470 feet above ground level (agl) and at a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was conducted on runway 12, which has a length of 2,737 meters.
Upon analysis of the landing, it appears that the aircraft failed to meet the target threshold height, coming in at 166 feet agl, which is excessively high. Additionally, the threshold speed was also excessively high at 75 knots. Despite these initial issues, the touchdown speed of 35 knots was deemed good, and the touchdown rate of 13 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect.
However, the touchdown point was located 700 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft overshot the intended landing area. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.9 meters from the centerline, suggesting that the aircraft may have deviated from the intended flight path during the final approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions may have contributed to the challenges faced by the pilot during the landing, but a more detailed analysis would be required to determine the exact impact of the weather on the outcome.
