Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Sierra C24R

Landing Score 98.15 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, Sierra C24R, successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing technique. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 233.0° at 1 nautical mile and 239 feet above ground level (agl). This positioning allowed the aircraft to make a precise approach to runway 23, which is 1,814 meters in length.

The landing was executed with a good threshold height, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 74 knots, which may be a minor area for improvement. Nevertheless, the touchdown distance of 437 meters was good, and the touchdown speed of 52 knots was also within acceptable limits.

One of the most impressive aspects of this landing was the touchdown rate, which was perfect at -48 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and without any excessive deceleration, which can be a critical factor in preventing damage to the aircraft and ensuring the safety of the occupants.

The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's descent and alignment with the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 4 knots at 268°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 3 knots, which is relatively minimal and should not have presented any significant challenges for the pilot.

The total landing distance of 631 meters was 35% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control over the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase.

Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of proficiency and skill on the part of the pilot, as well as a good understanding of the aircraft's performance characteristics and the local weather conditions. The score of 98.2% is a testament to the pilot's ability to execute a safe and precise landing, and suggests that they are well-suited to operate this type of aircraft in a variety of conditions.
