The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The Cessna C182 aircraft required a takeoff distance of 386 meters, which is 21% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 74 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern from runway 23, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 30 seconds. The right-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 12 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was made at an angle of 72.2° to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 82 seconds to complete.

The pattern base leg turn was made at an angle of 25.3° to the runway, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The base leg was less than 1 nautical mile long and took 17 seconds to complete. The final turn was also less than 1 nautical mile in length and took 26 seconds to complete. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, heading 250° at 1 nautical mile and 409 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 23 was characterized by a threshold height that was considered good. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 79 knots. The touchdown point was 97 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 58 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -60 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 839 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good.

In conclusion, the flight was completed with a total distance of 7 nautical miles, taking 7 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly, with good weather conditions and a well-executed landing.

Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Cessna C182

Landing Score 96.82 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C182 aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a score of 96.8%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, heading 250.0° at 1 nautical mile and 409 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good alignment with the runway during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 23.

The runway at EGPE Inverness Airport has a length of 1,814 meters, providing a sufficient distance for the aircraft to land safely. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 79 knots, which may have been a result of the aircraft not being fully configured for landing.

The touchdown point was 97 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the recommended area. The touchdown speed of 58 knots was a little fast, indicating that the aircraft may have been able to touch down earlier and with a lower speed. Despite this, the touchdown rate was excellent at -60 feet per minute (fpm), demonstrating good control and stability during the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance. The total landing distance was 839 meters, which is 46% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the aircraft was able to land safely and efficiently.

During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway, demonstrating good control and stability. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft was able to land safely and efficiently at EGPE Inverness Airport.
