Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGPE Inverness Airport took less than a minute, covering a distance of less than one nautical mile. The aircraft, a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza, then began its departure roll on runway 23, utilizing 351 meters, or 19% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 80 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff featured a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern from runway 23, it demonstrated a swift and precise turn, covering a distance of less than one nautical mile in 22 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was equally impressive, with a distance of less than one nautical mile covered in 21 seconds. The pattern downwind turn featured an angle to the runway of 78.8 degrees, while the downwind leg itself spanned two nautical miles in 45 seconds. The base leg turn, with an angle to the runway of 52.2 degrees, preceded a base leg of less than one nautical mile in 33 seconds. The final turn, also less than one nautical mile in 31 seconds, set the stage for a smooth final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, at a heading of 229.0 degrees and an altitude of 235 feet above ground level.

The landing itself was characterized by a threshold speed well above the target at 85 knots, resulting in a touchdown distance of 322 meters, or 36% of the runway's length. The touchdown speed of 63 knots was also within acceptable limits, while the touchdown rate of -68 feet per minute was excellent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the subsequent rollout alignment was equally impressive. The total landing distance of 653 meters was a testament to the aircraft's handling and the pilot's skill. The total flight distance of eight nautical miles was completed in five minutes, with a fuel consumption of 76 kilograms.
