The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, a PA28 Arrow III, then departed from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, with a takeoff distance of 798 meters, which accounted for 44% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 87 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 23, it covered a distance of less than a nautical mile in just 18 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 20 seconds, with the aircraft maintaining a steady course. The pattern downwind turn was executed at an angle of 54.3 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 79 seconds to complete.

The pattern base leg turn was made at an angle of 56.3 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The base leg itself was less than a nautical mile long and took 32 seconds to complete. The final turn was made in less than a nautical mile in 24 seconds, setting the aircraft up for a final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, heading 229.0 degrees at an altitude of 175 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a threshold height that was good and a threshold speed that was slightly above the target at 76 knots. The touchdown distance was 340 meters, and the touchdown speed was 58 knots, both of which were good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -108 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees.

The total landing distance was 704 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
