The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the DA40-NG aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 626 meters, which is 35% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 70 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern from runway 23, it demonstrated a swift and efficient turn, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 16 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind turn also showed impressive agility, completing the turn in under 18 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was executed with precision, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a turn angle of 28.0 degrees.
The final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 49.0 degrees at an altitude of 103 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing on runway 05 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 54 knots and a distance of 190 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly below the target speed of 66 knots, but the touchdown rate of -41 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, and the runway touchdown alignment was spot on.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.
