The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the DA50 aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 108 meters, which accounted for 6% 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 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 23, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 23 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind turn was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 18 seconds. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 1 nautical mile, with an angle to the runway of 68.5 degrees. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 58 seconds.

The pattern base leg turn was completed over a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 44.6 degrees. The base leg itself covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 23 seconds. The final turn before landing was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 27 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, heading 233.0 degrees at an altitude of 1 nautical mile and 203 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed was also good at 76 knots. The touchdown distance was 329 meters, which was considered good, and the touchdown speed was 64 knots, also considered good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -65 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions remained the same as during takeoff.

The total landing distance was 539 meters, which accounted for 30% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, which was completed in 5 minutes, and the aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the DA50

Landing Score 97.32 %

Landing Summary

The DA50 aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 97.3%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, heading 233.0° at 1 nautical mile and 203 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was likely a visual approach, given the aircraft's heading and altitude.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 1,814 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway threshold. The threshold speed of 76 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed during the approach.

The touchdown distance of 329 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 64 knots was also good. However, it was the touchdown rate that truly stood out, with an excellent rate of -65 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and with minimal impact, reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft and its occupants.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 2 knots from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 knot and a headwind component of 2 knots. These conditions made the landing even more challenging, but the pilot successfully managed the aircraft to achieve a perfect runway touchdown alignment.

The total landing distance of 539 meters was only 30% of the runway length, demonstrating the pilot's excellent control and precision during the landing. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and controlled stop at the end of the runway. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, as well as the aircraft's performance and handling characteristics.
