The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a PA28 Arrow III, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 94 kt. The takeoff distance was 538 m, which accounted for 20% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a wind speed of 2 kt from a direction of 269 °, resulting in a crosswind of 1 kt and a headwind of 2 kt.
As the aircraft entered the traffic pattern, it followed a right-hand pattern entry from runway 30, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nm in 61 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind was completed in a similarly short distance of less than 1 nm in 7 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was executed at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a distance of 1 nm and an angle of 5.4 ° to the runway.
The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind leg, covering a distance of less than 1 nm in 12 seconds. From there, it began its final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, which was located to the north-west. The aircraft was at an altitude of 147 ft agl and a heading of 123.0 ° at a distance of 0 nm from the runway.
The landing on runway 12 was executed with a threshold speed that was slightly above the target speed of 76 kt. The touchdown distance was 418 m, which was considered good, and the touchdown speed was 59 kt, also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was an excellent -58 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 °C and a wind speed of 3 kt from a direction of 228 °, resulting in a crosswind of 3 kt and a tailwind of 1 kt.
The total landing distance was 1,002 m, which accounted for 37% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 2 nm, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 104 kg of fuel during the flight.

The PA28 Arrow III aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The final approach was conducted from the north-west, heading 123.0° at an altitude of 147 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady course, aligning perfectly with the runway threshold.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 76 knots, registering at 76 kt. However, this minor deviation did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 418 meters was considered good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 59 kt was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing phase.
One of the standout aspects of this landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -58 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates a very gentle and controlled touchdown, minimizing the impact on the aircraft and the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft aligning precisely with the centerline of the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 228°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 kt, while the tailwind component was negligible at 1 kt. These conditions contributed to a smooth and stable approach, allowing the pilot to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the landing phase.
The total landing distance of 1,002 meters was 37% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. This is a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft maintaining a steady course and aligning precisely with the centerline of the runway.
Overall, this landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skill and control throughout the entire process. The aircraft's performance was also impressive, with a smooth and controlled descent and a gentle touchdown.
