A flight was conducted using a 404 Titan Air Ambulance aircraft, which departed from runway 23 at Inverness Airport (EGPE) after a roll of 633 meters, which accounted for 35% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed of the aircraft was 96 kt, achieved under favorable local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16 °C and a wind speed of 2 kt at 270 °. The crosswind component was 1 kt, while the headwind component was 2 kt.

The aircraft then entered the right-hand pattern from the departure runway, completing this maneuver within 30 seconds and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. As it turned and aligned its approach, the aircraft demonstrated exceptional agility, crossing the wind in less than 20 seconds. The subsequent downwind pattern turn, which had an angle of 62.6 ° to the runway, covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The downwind leg was maintained for 56 seconds, while covering another 2 nautical miles.

Following the downwind leg, the aircraft made a base leg turn with an angle of 52.8 ° to the runway, covering 2 nautical miles. The base leg itself spanned less than 1 nautical mile and was completed in 27 seconds. The final turn to align with the runway was achieved within 29 seconds, after which the aircraft began its approach from the north-east. This final turn saw the aircraft at a heading of 231.0 °, 1 nautical mile away from the runway, at an altitude of 321 ft above ground level.

The approach and landing process were marked by exceptional stability and control, with the aircraft touching down 262 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 78 kt. The touchdown rate of -37 fpm was ideal, and the runway touchdown alignment was excellent. Local weather conditions remained steady throughout the approach, with a temperature of 16 °C and a wind speed of 2 kt at 270 °.

The total landing distance was 1,510 meters, accounting for 83% of the runway's length. The aircraft's roll-out alignment on the runway was also very good. The entire flight, which covered a distance of 10 nautical miles, took 7 minutes to complete and consumed 12 kg of fuel.

Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the 404 Titan Air Ambulance

Landing Score 90.38 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft 404 Titan Air Ambulance successfully landed on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport at a score of 90.4%. The approach began with the aircraft heading towards the northeast, at a bearing of 231.0° and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the airport, while being at an altitude of 321 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise approach path, setting the aircraft up for a smooth landing.

As the aircraft continued its final approach, it landed on the runway, which is approximately 1,814 meters long, under optimal conditions. The threshold height was at a suitable level, allowing for a safe and controlled landing. The threshold speed, which is the ideal speed at which to touch down on the runway, was maintained at 102 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 78 knots, and the touchdown point was located 262 meters beyond the touchdown zone. This indicates that the aircraft maintained control and precision throughout the landing, with a perfectly calculated touchdown rate of -37 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot managed the aircraft's descent and alignment with the runway precisely.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a light wind of 2 knots from the west (270°). Although there was a slight headwind, it had a minimal impact on the aircraft's landing. Additionally, the crosswind component was negligible at 1 knot, making it easy for the pilot to handle the aircraft during the landing.

The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 1,510 meters, which is 83% of the runway length. This is an acceptable landing distance and suggests that the pilot did an excellent job in managing the aircraft's speed and position during the landing. Lastly, the runway rollout alignment, which refers to how well the aircraft lines up with the center of the runway after touchdown, was very good, indicating that the pilot expertly controlled the aircraft's direction and speed during the landing roll.
