The flight was conducted on a Piper Aerostar 600 with the registration NI22PC. After taxiing for one minute from the parking area to the runway, the aircraft departed from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport. The takeoff distance required was 505 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway length. During takeoff, the liftoff speed was reached at 93 knots.

Upon reaching a reasonable altitude, the aircraft began its right-hand pattern entry from runway 30. This maneuver covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in just 23 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind from runway 30 was similarly swift, taking less than 1 nautical mile to complete within 11 seconds. As the aircraft continued through its pattern, it entered a downwind turn at an angle of 43.5 degrees relative to the runway, covering 2 nautical miles during this phase.

Following the downwind turn was the downwind leg, which spanned 4 nautical miles and took 98 seconds to complete. Subsequently, the aircraft underwent a base leg turn at an angle of 34.7 degrees relative to the runway, requiring 2 nautical miles to complete. The base leg itself covered less than 1 nautical mile in 8 seconds. The final turn of the pattern led to a final approach to runway 30 from the southeast, with a heading of 302 degrees at an altitude of 1 nautical mile and 365 feet above ground level.

Upon commencing the final approach, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 74 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown point was 255 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -107 feet per minute. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect throughout the landing. Local weather conditions remained consistent, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270 degrees.

The subsequent rollout from the runway was also seamless, with perfect runway alignment. The flight concluded with a total landing distance of 1,654 meters, which accounted for 60% of the runway length. Throughout the flight, a total distance of 13 nautical miles was covered in 8 minutes, and the aircraft utilized 8 kilograms of fuel. Overall, the flight demonstrated exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard procedures.

Landing Summary

The Aerostar 600 NI22PC made a successful landing at Glasgow Prestwick Airport on runway 30. The aircraft followed the standard final approach procedure from the south east, aligning with the runway at a height of 365 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile (nm) from the runway. The pilot maintained a steady heading of 302.0 degrees during the approach and landed smoothly at the correct speed.

Upon touchdown, the pilot achieved a speed of 74 knots, which is within the target range for a smooth landing. The rate of descent was also controlled, indicating a smooth touchdown at -107 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfectly executed, as the aircraft's position was directly aligned with the runway centerline, demonstrating the pilot's high level of skill and concentration.

Weather conditions on the day of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 2 knots and crosswind of 1 knot at a 270-degree angle. The pilots' ability to navigate the aircraft safely under these conditions highlights their expertise and professionalism.

The aircraft's total landing distance of 1,654 meters is within an acceptable range for the runway length, covering approximately 60% of the available surface. This demonstrates the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and rate of descent effectively. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, aligning the aircraft with the runway centerline.

In conclusion, the landing of Aerostar 600 NI22PC on runway 30 at Glasgow Prestwick Airport was a textbook example of safe and controlled aircraft handling. The pilot's skills, knowledge, and ability to apply them effectively ensured a successful and smooth landing, with scores of 95.0% reflecting the outstanding quality of the landing.
