The aircraft in question, a Piper PA28-236 Dakota, successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, with the aircraft heading 228.0° at 1 nautical mile and 255 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with precision, as evident from the subsequent landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 70 knots, which is considered a good threshold speed. The touchdown point was 191 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun but still within a safe margin. The touchdown speed of 50 knots was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of 19 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and stability during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 225°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight headwind of 3 knots, which did not pose any significant challenges to the pilot. The runway length of 1,814 meters was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance, which was 862 meters, or 48% of the runway.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the landing and rollout phases. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and skill, resulting in a score of 97.4%. This achievement is a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
