The flight began with the departure roll from runway 23 at Inverness Airport, EGPE. The aircraft, Sirius, successfully took off after covering a distance of 158 meters, which accounted for 9% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 59 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern from runway 23, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 134 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind maneuver was completed in under 1 nautical mile in just 25 seconds. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 45 degrees and a turn angle of 4.7 degrees.

The final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 40 degrees and at an altitude of 514 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 2 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 05 was successful, with a runway length of 1,814 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 56 knots.

The touchdown point was located 407 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 40 knots and a perfect touchdown rate of -13 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centerline by 5.6 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.

The total landing distance covered was 963 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes, with no fuel consumption recorded.

Landing on runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Sirius

Landing Score 93.72 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, identified as Sirius, successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 93.7%. The final approach to runway 05 was conducted from the south west, with a heading of 40.0° at an altitude of 514 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway. This approach was executed with precision, resulting in a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 56 knots, which is within the acceptable range.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 407 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly beyond the ideal position. However, the touchdown speed of 40 knots was well within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -13 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 meters from the centerline, but this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which did not pose a significant challenge to the landing. The total landing distance of 963 meters was 53% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance.

The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing roll. Overall, the Sirius aircraft performed well during the landing, achieving a high score and demonstrating a high level of proficiency in executing a safe and controlled landing at EGPE Inverness Airport.
