Landing on runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the DR400

Landing Score 95.6 %

Landing Summary

The DR400 aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 95.6%. The final approach was conducted from the south-west, heading 48.0° at 1 nautical mile and 447 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 05.

The runway at EGPE Inverness Airport has a length of 1,814 meters, providing a sufficient distance for the DR400 to touch down safely. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly too high at 69 knots, which may have required some adjustments by the pilot to ensure a smooth touchdown.

The touchdown distance of 292 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 50 knots was also within acceptable limits. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -61 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down with minimal impact, reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft and minimizing the stress on the landing gear.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 1°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 228°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance of 468 meters was only 26% of the runway length, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to stop quickly and efficiently.

The runway rollout alignment was also reported as perfect, indicating that the aircraft maintained its alignment with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the DR400's landing at EGPE Inverness Airport was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating good control, precision, and safety.
