Departing from Inverness Airport (EGPE), the Sirius aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 57 kt in a distance of 200 m, which represented 11% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of agility, completing the pattern entry turn in less than 1 nm in 19 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was also executed efficiently, taking 22 seconds to complete the maneuver. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, which involved a 45° angle to the runway and a distance of 1 nm. The downwind leg itself was flown for 2 nm in 64 seconds, before the aircraft began its base leg turn, which was completed in 1 nm with an angle to the runway of 70.4°. The final approach was made from the north-east, with the aircraft descending to 97 ft above ground level (agl) at a heading of 229.0°.

The Sirius aircraft touched down on runway 23 with a speed of 38 kt, achieving a touchdown distance of 322 m and a touchdown rate of 7 fpm, which was considered perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was also spot on, indicating a high degree of precision in the pilot's landing technique. The total flight distance was 6 nm, and the aircraft used a minimal amount of fuel, 0 kg, during the entire flight, which lasted 5 minutes.
