Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,814 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 770 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGPE Inverness Airport took less than a minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its departure roll on runway 23, utilizing 331 meters, or 18% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 65 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
Following a brief enroute level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The approach was initiated from the south-west, with the aircraft heading 54.0° at an altitude of 377 feet above ground level, approximately 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold. The landing was executed with a threshold speed well above the target value, at 82 knots, and resulted in a touchdown point 329 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 66 knots and the touchdown rate of -47 feet per minute were both within acceptable limits, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance of 1,193 meters, or 66% of the runway's length, was achieved with a perfect runway rollout alignment. The local weather conditions at the time of landing remained unchanged, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component. The total flight distance of 6 nautical miles was completed in 4 minutes, utilizing 2 kilograms of fuel.
The final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport from the south west was executed with precision, with the aircraft Sierra C24R maintaining a heading of 54.0° at 1 nm and 377 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, reaching 82 kt. Despite this, the touchdown characteristics were good, with a touchdown speed of 66 kt and a perfect touchdown rate of -47 fpm.
The touchdown point was located 329 m beyond the touchdown zone, which was slightly beyond the ideal position. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt at 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component.
The total landing distance of 1,193 m was 66% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of skill and precision, resulting in a score of 96.1%.
