The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The Cessna C172 aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 302 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 64 knots, marking the start of the flight.

As the aircraft entered the local area, the pilot encountered favorable weather conditions, with a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 331 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the flight conditions ideal for navigation.

The pilot then initiated a left-hand pattern entry from runway 05, navigating the aircraft through a series of turns and legs. The distance covered during the pattern entry was 1 nautical mile in 23 seconds, demonstrating the aircraft's agility and responsiveness. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind turn was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 28 seconds, showcasing the pilot's expertise in handling the aircraft in various wind conditions.

As the aircraft progressed through the pattern, it completed a downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 59.3 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself spanned 2 nautical miles in 89 seconds, allowing the pilot to assess the aircraft's performance and adjust the approach as needed.

The base leg turn was executed at an angle of 39.7 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The base leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 33 seconds, bringing the aircraft closer to the runway. The final turn was a short, 7-second maneuver that positioned the aircraft for a smooth final approach.

The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 50.0 degrees and an altitude of 198 feet above ground level. The pilot maintained a steady speed, slightly above the target threshold speed of 65 knots, and executed a smooth touchdown on the runway.

The landing was characterized by a good touchdown distance of 424 meters and a touchdown speed of 49 knots, which was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was smooth, at -112 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The pilot's expertise and attention to detail resulted in a flawless landing.

The flight concluded with a total distance of 7 nautical miles, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles in 6 minutes. The aircraft used 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight, demonstrating its efficiency and performance.
