The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the DA40-XLS aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 116 meters, which accounted for 6% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 67 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

After taking off, the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern from runway 23, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles in 16 seconds. The right-hand pattern crosswind was relatively minor, with the aircraft covering less than 1 nautical mile in 7 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was completed over a distance of 3 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 45 degrees and a turn angle of 14.4 degrees. The downwind leg was short, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 6 seconds.

The base leg turn was the longest part of the pattern, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 45 degrees and a turn angle of 168 degrees. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport, flying from the southwest at a heading of 96 degrees and at an altitude of 949 feet above ground level, 2 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 05 was successful, with the aircraft touching down 413 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 55 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -68 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also excellent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,134 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The total flight distance was 10 nautical miles, and the flight used -4 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the DA40-XLS

Landing Score 92.42 %

Landing Summary

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a score of 92.4%. The final approach was conducted from the south-west, heading 96.0° at 2 nautical miles and 949 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed on runway 05, which has a length of 1,814 meters.

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 too high at 85 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to reduce the speed further before touchdown. The touchdown point was 413 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively long distance but not excessively so.

The touchdown speed of 55 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -68 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent. This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and with minimal impact. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and aligned approach to the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 269°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots. These conditions were favorable for the landing, and the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the approach and touchdown.

The total landing distance was 1,134 meters, which represents 63% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, but it is not excessively so given the aircraft's performance and the weather conditions. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to bring it to a stop safely.

Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and judgment throughout the approach and touchdown. However, there is room for improvement in terms of reducing the threshold speed and minimizing the landing distance.
