The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with registration NI22PC, successfully took off with a takeoff distance of 124 meters, which accounted for only 5% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 100 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 270 degrees.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern from runway 12, it demonstrated impressive agility, completing the turn in less than 1 nautical mile in just 19 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind turn was even quicker, taking only 6 seconds to complete. The pattern downwind turn was executed with precision, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 75.2 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 76 seconds to complete.

The pattern base leg turn was another highlight of the flight, with the aircraft covering 2 nautical miles at an angle of 50.5 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was less than 1 nautical mile long and took 24 seconds to complete. The final turn was also executed with precision, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 28 seconds.

The final approach to runway 12 was made from the north-west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 121.0 degrees at an altitude of 124 feet above ground level. The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 75 knots and a touchdown distance of 347 meters. The touchdown rate was perfect at 3 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.9 meters from the centreline.

The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 270 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the tailwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,216 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

In conclusion, the flight was a testament to the aircraft's agility and the pilot's skill. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, and the flight took 6 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 5 kilograms of fuel during the flight, demonstrating its efficiency. Overall, the flight was a success, with a smooth landing and a controlled descent.

Landing Summary

The aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with the registration NI22PC, successfully landed at Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) on runway 12. The pilot demonstrated excellent control and precision throughout the final approach, achieving a score of 98.8%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north-west, heading 121.0° at an altitude of 124 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing, the pilot maintained a good threshold height and speed, touching down at 88 knots. The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, measuring 347 meters. The touchdown speed of 75 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of 3 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

However, there was a slight deviation in the runway touchdown position, with the aircraft landing 3.9 meters off-centerline. This minor misalignment was likely due to the pilot's efforts to compensate for the crosswind, which was blowing at 1 knot from the left. The tailwind, on the other hand, was relatively light at 2 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind blowing at 2 knots from the west. The crosswind component was minimal, and the tailwind was not significant enough to affect the landing.

The total landing distance of 1,216 meters was within 44% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was excellent, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and precision.
