Departing from Inverness Airport (EGPE), the DA50 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 80 kt in 1,111 meters, which represented 61% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a negligible wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of agility, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 20 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed in 18 seconds, showcasing the pilot's proficiency in handling the aircraft in challenging conditions. The downwind leg was flown at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a distance of 1 nm, while the base leg turn was completed in 0 nm, with an angle of 25.6 degrees. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, with a heading of 231.0°, and a height of 83 ft above ground level.

The landing was executed smoothly, with a touchdown speed of 65 kt and a touchdown rate of -102 fpm. The touchdown distance was 316 meters, which was well within the available runway length of 1,814 meters. The total landing distance was 720 meters, representing 40% of the runway length. Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centreline, the overall performance of the aircraft was satisfactory.
