Departure

Use smaller, smoother aileron inputs to hold the climb bank angle near wings-level.

What happened: During Climb 3 the bank angle averaged 3.5°, well beyond a steady wings-level climb.

Watch for: Attitude indicator - bank angle, keeping it close to wings-level through the climb.

See Departure Climb 3

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 70 kt before crossing the threshold.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 78 kt, 8 kt above the 70 kt target.

Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 70 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

Below a thousand feet the aeroplane is slow, heavy and close to the ground. A steep turn loses lift, raises the stall speed and flattens the climb just when the gradient matters most. A normal turn on course is a rate one — fifteen degrees or so, twenty-five at the outside, this penalty is to acknowledge when a turn has stopped being a turn and become a manoeuvre.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 9 °C and a wind speed of 0 kt from a direction of 331 °, resulting in no crosswind or headwind.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead EGPE Inverness Airport. The climb was steep, with the aircraft rising from 901 ft above sea level to 986 ft in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nm. This rapid ascent was followed by a brief enroute level cruise, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nm. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile south west of the airport. The descent was more gradual, with the aircraft losing 1,352 ft in altitude over a period of 3 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm.

As the aircraft approached the airport, it began its final approach to runway 23, which was located to the north east. The aircraft was flying at a heading of 228.0 ° and an altitude of 153 ft above ground level, with the runway threshold in sight. The landing was smooth, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 49 kt and a distance of 478 m, which was well within the runway's length. The touchdown rate was perfect, at -29 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was also spot on.

The total landing distance was 832 m, which was 46% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. The total flight distance was 5 nm, and the flight duration was 10 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5 kg of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was characterized by smooth and controlled movements, with the pilot demonstrating excellent flying skills throughout.
