Landing Summary

The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 37.0°, 2 nautical miles away and at an altitude of 266 feet above ground level. This precise approach allowed the pilot to maintain control and execute a smooth landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot had maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold. The threshold speed, however, was slightly above the target speed of 83 kt, but this did not compromise the overall landing performance. The touchdown distance of 353 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 64 kt was well within the recommended range.

The landing rate was smooth, with a descent rate of -130 feet per minute, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and experience. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a steady course and had not deviated from the intended path. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 kt from 273°, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.

The total landing distance of 736 meters, which accounts for 41% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits. This indicates that the pilot had maintained control and had not over-extended the landing, which could have resulted in a longer rollout distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, further demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail.

Overall, this landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach and landing, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional control and precision throughout the entire process.
