Departing from Inverness Airport (EGPE), the DA50 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 81 kt after covering 1,275 m, which represented 70% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of maneuverability, completing the pattern entry turn in less than 1 nm in 22 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed in 19 seconds, showcasing the pilot's skill in handling the aircraft in a challenging wind environment. The downwind turn was conducted at an angle of 55.4° to the runway, while the base leg turn was executed at a similar angle of 55.0°. The final approach was made from the north-east, with the aircraft aligning perfectly with the runway threshold at 147 ft above ground level.

The landing was executed to a high standard, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 67 kt and a distance of 361 m, which represented 39% of the available runway length. The touchdown rate was an impressive -61 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out in a straight line, demonstrating excellent control and stability. The total landing distance was 712 m, and the total flight distance was 7 nm, which was completed in 4 minutes, consuming 2 kg of fuel.
