Landing on runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Cessna C172

Landing Score 99.22 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 99.2%. The final approach to runway 05 was conducted from the south west, with a heading of 48.0° at an altitude of 143 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision during the landing, with a good threshold height and speed of 60 knots. The touchdown distance of 222 meters was also within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown speed of 50 knots was also satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -113 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, suggesting a gentle and controlled impact with the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 11°C and a wind speed of 18 knots from a direction of 210°. This resulted in a crosswind of 6 knots and a tailwind of 17 knots, which the pilot successfully managed during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown.

The total landing distance of 542 meters was 30% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
