This flight was conducted in a Cessna C172 aircraft, starting with an enroute climb from Inverness Airport (EGPE) in Inverness, Scotland. The aircraft took off from a height of 46 feet above sea level and climbed to 1,137 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This rapid ascent allowed the aircraft to reach a significant altitude in a short period of time.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, flying over the nearby town of Ardersier in the Highland region of Scotland. This cruise phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 1 mile southwest of Ardersier. The descent was steep, with the aircraft dropping from 1,124 feet to 256 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile.
The final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport was conducted from the southwest, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 49.0 degrees and an altitude of 223 feet above ground level. The approach was smooth, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 54 knots. The touchdown point was 66 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed was good and the touchdown rate was excellent at -92 feet per minute.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 273 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot, indicating a relatively calm environment. The aircraft landed on a runway that was 1,814 meters long, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was well above the target speed of 66 knots.
The total landing distance was 725 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing phase. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 6 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 5 nautical miles and used 38 kilograms of fuel. The flight duration was 9 minutes, indicating a relatively short and efficient flight. Overall, the flight was conducted smoothly and safely, with the aircraft performing well in the local weather conditions.

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The final approach to runway 05 was conducted from the south west, with a heading of 49.0° at an altitude of 223 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 66 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 54 knots was well within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -92 feet per minute (fpm) was also excellent, demonstrating a high degree of precision and control.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 273°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component, making the landing even more challenging and impressive.
The total landing distance of 725 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot executed a precise and controlled approach, taking into account the aircraft's performance and the runway's length.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics.
