Flight Score
Departure
Roll the wings level with aileron and hold bank within limits as you establish the climb.
What happened: Bank increased to 2.8° during the initial climb, and wings stayed over-banked at 17° into the next climb segment.
Watch for: Attitude indicator bank angle, aiming to keep it near wings-level
Arrival
Make small rudder corrections to track the centreline, aiming at a point on the far end of the runway.
What happened: Heading drifted off the extended centreline during the final approach segment.
Watch for: Heading indicator against the runway centreline track.

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
At the 300 ft gate: off the centreline, wings not level and speed above the reference speed.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,737 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 840 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
This flight was conducted in a Camair Twin Navion aircraft, departing from Glasgow Prestwick Airport (EGPK) on runway 30. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll, taking off with a takeoff distance of 981 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway length.
During takeoff, the aircraft reached a liftoff speed of 92 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Monkton in South Ayrshire, Scotland. The climb involved an increase in altitude from 622 feet above sea level to 360 feet above sea level, a rise of 262 feet in just 1 minute, and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached the end of its flight, it began its final approach to runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, coming in from the west at a heading of 94.0° and at an altitude of 289 feet above ground level. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 98°, resulting in a crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind component of 3 knots.
The landing was conducted on runway 12, which had a length of 2,737 meters. The threshold height at 55 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was too high at 97 knots. However, the touchdown speed of 74 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -43 feet per minute was perfect. The touchdown point was 407 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.3 meters from the centerline.
The total landing distance was 998 meters, which accounted for 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 2 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Camair Twin Navion aircraft successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving an overall score of 82.9%. The final approach to runway 12 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 94.0° at an altitude of 289 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 407 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly off-target. However, the touchdown speed of 74 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -43 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The threshold height at 55 feet agl was slightly above the target, and the threshold speed was too high at 97 knots. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance was satisfactory. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.3 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly off by 8.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 17°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 98°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots. The total landing distance of 998 meters was 36% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
Overall, the Camair Twin Navion aircraft demonstrated a good landing performance, with some minor deviations from the ideal. However, the pilot's skills and the aircraft's capabilities ensured a safe and controlled landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport.
