The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach that landed joined below the 500 ft gate, after a go-around. The gate assessed on the earlier approach is not shown - it was not the landing's.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,814 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 407 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, a Carenado T-34 Bravo, then departed from runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The takeoff distance was 200 meters, which is 11% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 69 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 331 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,011 feet above sea level to 2,486 feet, an increase of 1,475 feet, in just 3 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The climb was smooth and efficient, with the aircraft making good progress.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent, which started 1 mile south of Fortrose. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,405 feet to 619 feet, a decrease of 1,786 feet, in just 2 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The descent was also smooth and controlled, with the aircraft maintaining a steady rate of descent.
As the aircraft approached the airport, it began its final approach to runway 05 from the southwest, heading 48.0 degrees at an altitude of 587 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold. However, the pilot decided to go-around at an altitude of just 5 feet above ground level, indicating a very short decision height.
The aircraft then made a second approach to the runway, and this time it landed successfully on runway 05. The touchdown distance was good at 402 meters, and the touchdown speed was 52 knots, which was within the target range. The touchdown rate was also excellent at -77 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was also excellent.
The total landing distance was 971 meters, which is 54% of the runway length. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 331 degrees. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, and the flight took 13 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 5 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The Carenado T-34 Bravo [STD] aircraft successfully landed on runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in aviation skills. The final approach was initiated from the south west, heading 48.0° at 1 nm and 587 ft above ground level (agl), demonstrating a precise and controlled descent.
Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 52 kt, which was well within the target threshold speed of 76 kt. The touchdown distance of 402 m was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The touchdown rate of -77 fpm was particularly impressive, highlighting the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 9 °C and a wind speed of 0 kt at 331°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, allowing the pilot to focus on maintaining a stable approach and landing. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, resulting in a total landing distance of 971 m, which was 54% of the runway length. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a stable approach and landing, even in the face of challenging weather conditions. The successful landing of the Carenado T-34 Bravo [STD] at EGPE Inverness Airport is a testament to the pilot's skills and experience in aviation.
