The Cessna CT206G taxied to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport and commenced the take-off roll, using 660 m which represents 35 % of the available runway. Rotation was achieved at 64 kt under calm conditions with a temperature of 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 270°, a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.

The aircraft entered the right-hand pattern on runway 23, covering a distance of 1 nm in 27 seconds.

It proceeded to the right-hand crosswind leg, flying less than 1 nm in 20 seconds.

During the downwind turn the aircraft covered 2 nm and turned to an angle of 52.7° relative to the runway heading.

The downwind leg was flown for 2 nm and required 76 seconds to complete.

The base-leg turn spanned 1 nm and produced an angle of 61.6° to the runway.

The base leg itself was less than 1 nm and was completed in 26 seconds.

The final turn was executed over a distance of less than 1 nm in 33 seconds, positioning the aircraft for final approach.

Landing was made on runway 23, whose length is 1,866 m. The threshold speed was 65 kt, touchdown occurred 302 m down the runway at 56 kt, and the vertical speed at touchdown was minus 62 fpm. Alignment at touchdown was reported as perfect, and the same local weather conditions as departure prevailed.

Runway rollout was noted as excessively misaligned, with the aircraft deviating 2,275.0 m from the centreline after touchdown.

In total the flight covered 15 nm, required 10 minutes, and consumed 4 kg of fuel.
