The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport, a small airport located in the Highland region of Scotland. The DA40-XLS aircraft accelerated down the runway, eventually lifting off at a speed of 68 knots. The takeoff distance was a relatively short 190 meters, accounting for just 11% of the runway's total length.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered a local weather pattern characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a slight tailwind component, which would have a minimal impact on the flight's overall performance.
The enroute climb phase began as the aircraft cleared the airport's airspace, rising from an initial altitude of 244 feet above sea level to a maximum of 439 feet. This increase in altitude was achieved in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The climb was a smooth and efficient one, setting the stage for a successful approach and landing.
As the aircraft began its final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, it was flying from a northeasterly direction, heading 229.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was 1 nautical mile from the runway and at an altitude of 406 feet above ground level. The approach was characterized by a gentle headwind component, which would have helped to slow the aircraft's descent and improve its overall control.
The landing itself was a textbook example of a well-executed approach. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 47 knots, which was slightly above the target threshold speed of 74 knots. However, the touchdown point was a respectable 147 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot had maintained good control of the aircraft throughout the approach. The touchdown rate was also excellent, with the aircraft descending at a rate of -69 feet per minute.
In terms of the aircraft's performance, the DA40-XLS demonstrated its efficiency and agility throughout the flight. The total distance traveled was a relatively short 2 nautical miles, and the flight used a mere 1 kilogram of fuel. Overall, the flight was a successful one, with the pilot executing a smooth and controlled approach and landing in challenging weather conditions.

Stall Warning Deactivated at 19:20:52 |
The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 94.2%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, aligning with a heading of 229.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 406 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 1,814 meters. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 74 kt, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to make some adjustments to achieve a more precise touchdown.
The touchdown point was located 147 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 47 kt was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down at a safe and controlled speed. The touchdown rate of -69 fpm was also excellent, demonstrating that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and without excessive deceleration.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the centerline of the runway as it touched down. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 kt from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, while the headwind component was 2 kt, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach and landing.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown.
