The flight in question was conducted in a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche aircraft. The pre-flight taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll took place on runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport, with a takeoff distance of 274 meters, which accounted for 15% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 61 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 273 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot, indicating a relatively calm environment. The enroute climb began overhead Ardersier, a location in the Highland region of Scotland, where the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 561 feet above sea level to 291 feet, an increase of 271 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport was conducted from the north, with a heading of 174.0 degrees at an altitude of 233 feet above ground level and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 23 was executed with a runway length of 1,814 meters. Although the threshold speed was slightly higher than expected at 83 knots, the touchdown point was 242 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 44 knots was considered good. The touchdown rate was perfect at -12 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was spot on.
The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 273 degrees. The crosswind component was 1 knot, while the headwind component was also 1 knot. The total landing distance was 863 meters, accounting for 48% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 2 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 1 kilogram.

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving an overall score of 80.1%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 174.0° at an altitude of 233 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the touchdown point located 242 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. This indicates that the aircraft overshot the intended touchdown area, but still managed to land safely. The touchdown speed of 44 knots was considered good, and the touchdown rate of -12 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 273°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing conditions relatively calm. The threshold speed of 83 knots was considered too high, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to reduce the approach speed to achieve a more optimal touchdown.
The total landing distance of 863 meters was 48% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop safely.
Overall, while the landing was not perfect, the aircraft was able to touch down safely and come to a stop within a reasonable distance. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled descent, and the favorable weather conditions contributed to a relatively calm landing.
