The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza took off with a takeoff distance of 382 meters, which accounted for 21% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 88 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nautical mile in 20 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind was also executed in less than 1 nautical mile in 18 seconds. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 45 degrees and a turn angle of 60.6 degrees. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 56 seconds.

The pattern base leg turn was another 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 45 degrees and a turn angle of 59.3 degrees. The base leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 38 seconds. The final turn was the shortest, covering less than 1 nautical mile in 25 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport from the north-east, heading 229.0 degrees at 0 nautical miles and 205 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, which had a length of 1,814 meters, was successful, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was well above the target at 85 knots. The touchdown distance was 374 meters, and the touchdown speed was 62 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -100 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 8 nautical miles and took 4 minutes to complete, using 3 kilograms of fuel in the process.

Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza

Landing Score 99.82 %

Landing Summary

The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a remarkable score of 99.8%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, aligning itself with a heading of 229.0° at an altitude of 205 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.

The pilot executed a precise final approach, taking into account the local weather conditions. The temperature was a moderate 16°C, and the wind was minimal, blowing at 1 knot from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging but ultimately successful.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated excellent control, with a touchdown speed of 62 knots, which was well within the target range. The touchdown distance of 374 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained a steady and controlled descent throughout the approach. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 85 knots, but this was not a significant concern given the overall performance of the aircraft.

One of the standout aspects of this landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -100 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the pilot had maintained a smooth and controlled descent, avoiding any sudden or excessive deceleration that could have compromised the safety of the aircraft and its occupants.

The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the pilot had maintained a steady and accurate course throughout the approach. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the capabilities of the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza.
