This flight was conducted in a M500 aircraft, departing from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll began on runway 23, and the takeoff distance was 1,134 meters, which accounted for 63% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 110 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 1 knot. After departure, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 23, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 108 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 15 seconds.

The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind turn, which covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The angle to the runway was 45 degrees, and the turn was executed at an angle of 4.6 degrees. The final approach to runway 05 was made from the southwest, with a heading of 44.0° at an altitude of 2 nautical miles and 1,167 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 05 was conducted with a runway length of 1,814 meters. However, the threshold height at 62 feet above ground level was above the target, and the threshold speed was too high at 113 knots. The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed was 89 knots, which was fast, but the touchdown rate was smooth at -107 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,811 meters, which was 100% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 10 nautical miles, and the flight took 6 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 15 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, a M500, has completed a landing at EGPE Inverness Airport, with a final approach from the southwest. The aircraft was at an altitude of 1,167 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway when it began its descent. The approach was made at a heading of 44.0°, which is slightly off the centerline of the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 89 knots, which is considered fast. The touchdown point was also very long, using more than 50% of the available runway. This suggests that the pilot may have been unable to slow the aircraft down sufficiently before touchdown, or that the approach was not properly configured for a shorter landing.

The threshold height at 62 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was not properly configured for a stable approach. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 113 knots, which is above the recommended speed for landing. This may have contributed to the long touchdown point and fast touchdown speed.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 7.1 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach or a miscalculation of the aircraft's position. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft after touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°. This suggests that the wind was not a significant factor in the landing, and that the pilot may have been able to maintain a stable approach despite the slight tailwind.

Overall, the landing was not ideal, with a long touchdown point and fast touchdown speed. However, the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and bring it to a smooth stop, with a touchdown rate of -107 feet per minute.
