The flight in question was conducted in a Piper PA28-236 Dakota aircraft. The enroute climb began over Inverness Airport in Inverness, Scotland, where the aircraft lifted off from a height of 25 feet above sea level and climbed to 1,069 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This impressive climb rate of 1,044 feet in 2 minutes showcased the aircraft's capabilities.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, maintaining a steady altitude over Croy in the Highland region of Scotland. This cruise phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, allowing the pilot to stabilize the aircraft and prepare for the final approach.
The final approach to runway 23 at Inverness Airport was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 229.0 degrees at an altitude of 180 feet above ground level. The pilot successfully guided the aircraft onto the runway, touching down at a speed of 53 knots. The touchdown point was 129 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but the pilot's control and precision ensured that the aircraft remained aligned with the runway.
The landing was executed with precision, with a touchdown rate of -21 feet per minute and a perfect runway touchdown alignment. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -3 degrees Celsius, with a gentle wind of 3 knots from 213 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 3 knots, providing a favorable wind condition for the landing.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 837 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's expertise and control over the aircraft. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. Notably, the aircraft consumed -1 kilogram of fuel during the flight, indicating a slight decrease in fuel weight.

The Piper PA28-236 Dakota aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, with the aircraft heading 229.0° at 0 nm and 180 ft above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with precision, as evident from the subsequent landing.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 129 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 53 kt was well within the target range, indicating that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's descent effectively. The touchdown rate of -21 fpm was also perfect, signifying a smooth and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -3 °C and a wind speed of 3 kt at 213°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 kt and a headwind of 3 kt, which the pilot successfully managed during the landing. The runway length at EGPE Inverness Airport is 1,814 m, and the aircraft's total landing distance of 837 m was only 46% of the runway, indicating a relatively short landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, resulting in a score of 97.6%. This achievement reflects the pilot's expertise and proficiency in handling the aircraft, particularly in challenging weather conditions.
