The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, an M500, then departed from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, with a takeoff distance of 754 meters, which accounted for 42% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 102 knots, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 331 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile west of Croy, in the Highland region of Scotland. The climb started from an altitude of 1,002 feet above sea level and reached 1,063 feet, an increase of 62 feet in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise then began 1 mile northwest of Culloden, lasting for 2 minutes and covering 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport was made from the southwest, with a heading of 37.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,231 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, which had a length of 1,814 meters. Although the threshold height was good, the threshold speed was too high at 116 knots. The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway, and the touchdown speed was also too fast at 103 knots. However, the touchdown rate was excellent at -62 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions during the landing were slightly different from those during takeoff, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots at 231 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,551 meters, which accounted for 86% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 10 nautical miles and lasted for 26 minutes, using 78 kilograms of fuel. The flight was a smooth and controlled operation, with the aircraft performing well in a variety of conditions.

The aircraft in question, identified as an M500, successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, but with some areas for improvement. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 37.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,231 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 05, which has a length of 1,814 meters.
Upon reviewing the landing, it was noted that the threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was too high at 116 knots. This indicates that the pilot may have been able to reduce the approach speed to a more optimal level, potentially resulting in a smoother and more controlled landing. The touchdown point was also found to be quite far down the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available length. This suggests that the pilot may have been able to flare the aircraft more effectively, reducing the touchdown speed and distance.
The touchdown speed of 103 knots was also found to be too fast, which can increase the risk of a bounced landing or a longer rollout. However, the touchdown rate of -62 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a high degree of control during the landing. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating good pilot technique and situational awareness.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a light wind of 3 knots from 231°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was minimal at 3 knots. The total landing distance of 1,551 meters was 86% of the available runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. However, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of approach speed and touchdown speed. With some adjustments to technique and situational awareness, the pilot may be able to achieve a more optimal landing performance.
