The flight began with the aircraft, a Sirius, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGPE Inverness Airport. This process took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll from runway 23 was initiated, and the takeoff distance was 227 meters, which accounted for 13% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 61 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 316 °. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind. The aircraft then entered a left-hand pattern from runway 23, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 30 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 28 seconds, also covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The pattern downwind turn was executed with an angle to the runway of 77.7 °, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The downwind leg itself took 66 seconds to complete, also covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The base leg turn was then initiated, with an angle to the runway of 61.1 °, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The base leg was completed in 52 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The final turn was executed in 32 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, heading 230.0 ° at an altitude of 256 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 23 was executed with a threshold height of 163 feet agl, which was excessively above the target. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 50 knots. The touchdown point was 48 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 36 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -29 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9 °C and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 331 °, resulting in no crosswind or headwind. The total landing distance was 724 meters, which accounted for 40% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used 0 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Sirius

Landing Score 87.62 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, identified as Sirius, successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in its landing maneuver. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, aligning with a heading of 230.0° at an altitude of 256 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. This precise approach allowed the aircraft to touch down safely on runway 23, which has a length of 1,814 meters.

Upon landing, the aircraft's performance was evaluated against various parameters. The threshold height, which is the height at which the aircraft should touch down, was found to be excessively above the target height of 163 ft agl. However, the threshold speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft should touch down, was slightly below the target speed of 50 knots. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall landing performance.

The touchdown point was located 48 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 36 knots was found to be within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively before touching down. The touchdown rate, which measures the rate at which the aircraft descends during landing, was perfect at -29 feet per minute (fpm), demonstrating excellent control and precision.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 331°. This resulted in a zero crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and requiring the pilot to exercise greater control. The total landing distance of 724 meters, which is 40% of the runway length, was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down and come to a stop safely.

Finally, the runway rollout alignment, which refers to the aircraft's alignment with the runway during the rollout phase, was perfect. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft and align it with the runway even after touchdown, ensuring a safe and controlled landing. Overall, the Sirius aircraft's landing performance was impressive, with a score of 87.6% indicating a high level of proficiency and skill.
