The flight began with a departure roll from runway 12 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, where the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza took off with a takeoff distance of 1,198 meters, which is 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 89 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 13 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 341 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 12, it took 72 seconds to cover a distance of 1 nautical mile. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 20 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was made at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a distance of 2 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was made from the east, with a heading of 279.0 degrees at 2 nautical miles and 659 feet above ground level. However, the landing was not without some issues, as the threshold speed was too high at 91 knots. The touchdown point was 195 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 69 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -58 feet per minute was excellent.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 12 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 340 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind. The total landing distance was 1,218 meters, which is 44% of the runway. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, taking 5 minutes, and the aircraft used 1 kilogram of fuel.

Landing on runway 30 at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport in the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza

Landing Score 95.56 %

Landing Summary

The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport, achieving a score of 95.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 279.0° at 2 nautical miles and 659 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway touchdown zone.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 195 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 69 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -58 feet per minute (fpm) was also excellent, demonstrating the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 12°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 340°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The runway length of 2,737 meters provided ample space for the aircraft to land and roll out safely.

The total landing distance of 1,218 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a respectable achievement. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. Overall, the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza's landing at EGPK Glasgow Prestwick Airport was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's capabilities.
