The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the aircraft, a Piper Aerostar 600 with registration NI22PC, took off with a takeoff distance of 515 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 102 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

After taking off, the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern from runway 23, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 22 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 12 seconds. The pilot then executed a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 46.7 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 3 nautical miles long and took 70 seconds to complete.

The pilot then turned onto the base leg, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles at an angle of 49.8 degrees to the runway. The base leg itself was less than 1 nautical mile long and took 11 seconds to complete. The final turn was executed, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in 43 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, heading 230 degrees at an altitude of 167 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a threshold height that was considered good and a threshold speed of 90 knots. The touchdown distance was 368 meters, and the touchdown speed was 75 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -109 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

The total landing distance was 828 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total flight distance was 10 nautical miles, and the flight took 6 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 6 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
