The flight began with an enroute climb from Inverness Airport, located in the Highland region of Scotland. The aircraft, a Carenado B55, took off from a height of 32 feet above sea level and climbed to 1,138 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This rapid ascent allowed the aircraft to reach a significant altitude in a short period of time.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, during which it flew over the nearby town of Ardersier. This segment of the flight lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The cruise phase provided a brief period of steady flight, allowing the aircraft to maintain a consistent speed and altitude.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 05 at Inverness Airport. The approach was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 39.0 degrees. At a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway, the aircraft was at an altitude of 549 feet above ground level. The approach was characterized by a smooth descent, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 78 knots.
The landing itself was notable for its smooth touchdown rate, which was -117 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were mild, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 296 degrees.
The crosswind and tailwind components were both minimal, at 1 knot each. The touchdown point was 133 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly controlled during the landing. The total landing distance was 1,273 meters, which was 70% of the runway length. The aircraft used a total of 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which covered a distance of 8 nautical miles and lasted for 7 minutes.
