The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the DA40-NG aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 776 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 65 knots, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 220 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, and the aircraft was aided by a 3-knot tailwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting from an altitude of 75 feet above sea level and gradually increasing to 112 feet above sea level, a rise of 37 feet in just 1 minute. This climb was achieved while covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft's performance was impressive, demonstrating its ability to efficiently gain altitude in a short period.
After completing the enroute climb, the aircraft began its descent for landing, targeting runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The runway was 1,814 meters long, providing ample space for the aircraft to touch down safely. The threshold height at 78 feet above ground level was slightly above the target, but the threshold speed of 72 knots was well within the acceptable range. This indicated that the aircraft was on track for a smooth and controlled landing.
The flight was relatively short, covering a total distance of 1 nautical mile and lasting 3 minutes. The aircraft's fuel consumption was moderate, with 55 kilograms of fuel being used during the flight. Overall, the flight was a success, with the DA40-NG aircraft performing well in various aspects, including takeoff, climb, and landing.

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a score of 56.8%. This score indicates that the landing was not entirely flawless, but still within acceptable parameters.
The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 72 kt, which is considered good. This suggests that the pilot maintained control and managed the descent effectively, avoiding any excessive speed or loss of control during the final stages of the landing.
However, the threshold height at 78 ft agl (above ground level) was well above the target. This indicates that the aircraft descended more slowly than intended, resulting in a higher-than-desired touchdown height. This could be due to a variety of factors, such as a slower-than-expected descent rate or a failure to maintain the correct glide slope.
Despite this, the pilot was still able to bring the aircraft safely to the ground, demonstrating a good level of skill and control. However, the high threshold height may indicate a need for further training or practice to improve the pilot's ability to manage the descent and maintain the correct glide slope.
Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of achieving the desired threshold height. With further practice and training, the pilot should be able to refine their skills and achieve a higher score.
