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 48.0° at 1 nautical mile and 516 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot executed a precise final approach, aligning perfectly with the runway threshold.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target threshold speed of 79 kt, registering at 82 kt. However, this minor deviation did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 315 meters was well within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 62 kt was also satisfactory. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -78 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates a smooth and controlled descent, minimizing the impact on the aircraft and the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 3 kt from 221°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 0 kt and a slight tailwind of 3 kt. The pilot effectively managed these conditions to achieve a perfect runway touchdown alignment.

The total landing distance of 774 meters was only 43% of the runway length, demonstrating the pilot's exceptional skill and control. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration of the aircraft after touchdown. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities, resulting in a flawless and safe touchdown at EGPE Inverness Airport.
