Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the DA40-NG

Landing Score 97.78 %

Landing Summary

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, aligning with the runway 23 threshold at a height of 256 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.

The aircraft's approach speed and configuration were well-managed, with a threshold speed of 68 knots being achieved. This indicates that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's descent and was able to maintain a stable approach. The touchdown distance of 194 meters was also within acceptable limits, suggesting that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to land it safely.

The touchdown speed of 56 knots was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -83 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent. This indicates that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent and touchdown, minimizing the risk of damage to the aircraft or injury to occupants.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from 330 degrees. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more straightforward.

The total landing distance of 387 meters was only 21% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to land it safely and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.

Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of proficiency in the pilot, with a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and a ability to manage the approach and landing safely and efficiently.
