The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza took off with a takeoff distance of 696 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 78 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern from runway 23, it covered a distance of 1 nautical mile in 41 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind maneuver was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in just 4 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was executed with a distance of 1 nautical mile, and the angle to the runway was 45 degrees at 175.1 degrees.

The final approach to runway 23 was made from the north-east, with a heading of 218.0 degrees at an altitude of 0 nautical miles and 152 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 23 was notable for an excessively high threshold speed of 104 knots, but the touchdown point was 213 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 83 knots was fast. However, the touchdown rate was perfect at 16 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 225 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,023 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total flight distance was 15 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 15 minutes, during which the aircraft used 87 kilograms of fuel.

Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza

Landing Score 90.79 %

Landing Summary

The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a score of 90.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 218.0° at 0 nm and 152 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway touchdown zone.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 213 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 83 kt was slightly higher than ideal, indicating that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively to achieve a smoother touchdown. However, the touchdown rate of 16 fpm was perfect, demonstrating excellent control and precision.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle headwind of 3 kt from 225°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 kt. The runway length of 1,814 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 1,023 meters, which represented 56% of the available runway.

The pilot's performance during the rollout was impressive, with perfect alignment with the runway. This suggests that the pilot maintained control and stability throughout the landing process, even after touchdown. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, despite some minor deviations from ideal touchdown speed and distance.
