Landing on runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza

Landing Score 99.98 %

Landing Summary

The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a perfect score of 100.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 45.0° at 1 nautical mile and 420 feet above ground level (agl). This precise approach allowed the pilot to maintain control and execute a smooth landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on runway 05, which has a length of 1,814 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the pilot had sufficient clearance to avoid any obstacles. The threshold speed, however, was above the target speed of 86 kt, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to maintain a more optimal approach speed.

The touchdown distance of 391 meters was good, and the touchdown speed of 60 kt was also within acceptable limits. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -94 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain a stable and controlled descent, resulting in a smooth touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 3 kt from 227°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 3 kt. The total landing distance of 728 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.

The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control and direction of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza's landing at EGPE Inverness Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed and safe landing.
