The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the aircraft, a PA28 Arrow III, accelerated down the 794-meter runway, covering 44% of its length, before lifting off at a speed of 87 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it made a smooth turn from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 18 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was completed in a similar time of 20 seconds, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading. The downwind turn, which involved a 45-degree angle to the runway, was completed over a distance of 1 nautical mile, while the downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 79 seconds.

As the aircraft began its base leg turn, it covered a distance of 1 nautical mile, with an angle to the runway of 55.3 degrees. The base leg itself was completed in just 31 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The final turn, which brought the aircraft onto the final approach, was completed in 24 seconds, after which the aircraft began its descent onto runway 23.

The final approach was made from the north-east, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 229.0 degrees and an altitude of 174 feet above ground level. The landing was characterized by a threshold speed that was slightly above the target speed of 76 knots, but the touchdown distance of 353 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 58 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -75 feet per minute was excellent, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The total landing distance was 710 meters, which represented 39% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a straight line. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, which was completed in 6 minutes, and the aircraft used a total of 2 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
