This flight was conducted in an Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen aircraft, a lightweight and versatile plane. The flight began with an enroute climb from Inverness Airport (EGPE) in Scotland, where the aircraft took off from a height of 42 feet above sea level (asl) and climbed to 1,043 ft asl in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles (nm). This rapid ascent showcased the aircraft's impressive climb capabilities.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, where it maintained a steady altitude of 1,024 ft asl for 2 minutes while covering another 2 nm. This stable flight phase allowed the pilot to assess the aircraft's performance and prepare for the next stage of the flight.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent from 1,024 ft asl to 291 ft asl in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nm. This controlled descent demonstrated the pilot's skill and the aircraft's ability to navigate through various altitudes with precision.

The final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport was conducted from the north-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 229.0° at an altitude of 263 ft above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nm from the runway. The pilot successfully executed a smooth landing, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 32 kt, which was slightly above the target speed.

The landing distance was 227 meters, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -50 ft per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 1 kt from 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

The total landing distance was 272 meters, which accounted for only 15% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. The total flight distance was 7 nm, and the flight duration was 6 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 0 kg of fuel throughout the flight.

Landing Score 98.53 %

Landing Summary

The Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen, a pioneering aircraft, successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, showcasing its capabilities in various aspects of flight. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 229.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 263 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with precision, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 kt at 269°.

Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 45 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's design or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for a more stable approach. The touchdown distance of 227 meters was within acceptable limits, showcasing the aircraft's ability to land safely and efficiently.

The touchdown speed of 32 kt was a little fast, which may have been due to the aircraft's momentum or the pilot's decision to touch down at a higher speed. Nevertheless, the touchdown rate of -50 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and experience in navigating the aircraft during the final stages of the approach.

The local weather conditions, with a gentle wind of 1 kt at 269°, resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging. However, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft, ensuring a safe and controlled touchdown. The total landing distance of 272 meters was only 15% of the runway length, indicating a short and efficient landing.

The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phases of the landing. Overall, the Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen's landing at EGPE Inverness Airport was a testament to its capabilities and the pilot's skill, showcasing a high level of precision and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
