Smooth the climb

Departure Climb 2

A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

Flight narrative

This flight was conducted in a M500 aircraft, a type of single-engine turboprop plane. The aircraft taxied from the parking area to the runway, a distance of less than 1 nautical mile, in under a minute. The departure roll took place on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, a Scottish airport located in the Highland region. The takeoff distance covered 62% of the runway, which is 1,120 meters long. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 102 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind. The enroute level cruise phase began immediately after takeoff, with the aircraft flying overhead the airport at an altitude of 265 feet above ground level. This phase lasted for just 1 minute and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport was conducted from the south-west, with the aircraft heading at an angle of 51.0 degrees. The approach was initiated at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold and at an altitude of 265 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 05 was successful, with the aircraft touching down 194 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was slightly higher than the target speed, at 94 knots, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -98 feet per minute.

The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 259 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind. The total landing distance covered 80% of the runway, which is 1,814 meters long. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. The aircraft used 10 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question, identified as an M500, successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the south west, with a heading of 51.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 265 feet above ground level (agl).

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 194 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 94 knots was slightly above the target, indicating that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -98 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 259°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component, making the landing even more straightforward. The runway length of 1,814 meters provided a comfortable margin for the aircraft to come to a stop, and the pilot's ability to maintain a perfect runway rollout alignment was a testament to their skill and experience.

The total landing distance of 1,457 meters, which accounts for 80% of the runway length, is a respectable figure. While it is slightly above the ideal, it is still within a safe margin, and the pilot's ability to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance is a credit to their training and expertise. Overall, the landing was a success, and the pilot's performance was impressive, with a score of 94.4%.
