The flight took place in a Cessna 408 SkyCourier Cargo aircraft, departing from Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) on runway 30. The loaded taxiing from the parking area to the runway was a swift process, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile.

As the aircraft began its departure roll, it quickly gained speed and lifted off the ground at a speed of 116 knots. The takeoff distance was 1,018 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway's total length. 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 a direction of 269 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

Following takeoff, the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern, navigating a distance of less than a nautical mile in just 21 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind maneuver was completed in a mere 10 seconds, showcasing the aircraft's agility and responsiveness. The pilot then executed a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 72.8 degrees to the runway.

As the aircraft continued its pattern, it flew a downwind leg of 2 nautical miles in 63 seconds, followed by a base leg turn at an angle of 53.9 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was completed in less than a nautical mile in 20 seconds. The final turn was executed in 24 seconds, setting the aircraft up for a smooth final approach to runway 30.

The final approach was made from the south-east, heading 308.0 degrees at an altitude of 200 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was executed on runway 30, which had a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 96 knots.

The touchdown point was 239 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 68 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -215 feet per minute (fpm) was fair. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions remained the same as during takeoff. The total landing distance was 1,015 meters, which again accounted for 37% of the runway's length.

The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft came to a stop without any issues. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 43 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The aircraft, a Cessna 408 SkyCourier Cargo, successfully landed at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) on runway 30. The final approach was initiated from the southeast, heading 308.0°, at an altitude of 200 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady course, with a slight deviation from the target threshold height, which was above the desired 60 feet agl.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target at 96 knots, but the touchdown speed of 68 knots was considered good. The touchdown rate of -215 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a moderate deceleration upon landing. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind component, making the landing conditions ideal. The total landing distance of 1,015 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits.

The post-landing rollout was executed perfectly, with the aircraft maintaining a straight alignment with the runway centerline. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 90.0%. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were well-coordinated, resulting in a smooth and controlled touchdown.
