Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGPE Inverness Airport took less than a minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 23, utilizing 167 meters, or 9% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 59 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff featured a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern from runway 23, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 17 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg also required a similar distance and time. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind turn, which involved a 45-degree angle to the runway and a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself covered 2 nautical miles in 90 seconds, while the base leg required less than 1 nautical mile in 35 seconds. The final turn to align with the runway was completed in under 10 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, descending to an altitude of 146 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 23 was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 31 knots and a distance of 160 meters, or 13% of the runway's length. The touchdown rate was an impressive -67 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out on the runway, maintaining perfect alignment. The total landing distance was 233 meters, and the aircraft utilized no fuel during the flight, which covered a total distance of 5 nautical miles in 4 minutes.
