The aircraft successfully took off with a takeoff distance of 151 meters, which accounted for 8% of the runway length. It reached a liftoff speed of 84 knots and was subject to a relatively light crosswind but a headwind of 3 knots. The local weather conditions at takeoff included a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots.
As the aircraft began its enroute climb, it started from an altitude of 334 feet above sea level and climbed to 309 feet, achieving an increase of 26 feet over 1 minute. This climb was completed over a distance of less than 1 nautical mile from its starting point overhead Inverness Airport. The subsequent descent towards the destination, runway 05 at EGPE, was carefully controlled from a height of 277 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a heading of 51 degrees and approached the landing site at a distance of 1 nautical mile away.
Upon landing on runway 05, the aircraft successfully touched down. The touchdown point was 73 meters beyond the initially designated touchdown zone, although this was not excessively far off target. The landing was carried out at a speed of 50 knots with an excellent touchdown rate of -96 feet per minute.

The landing of the GA-8 Airvan Commuter aircraft N13AV was deemed highly successful with a score of 97.1%. The pilot successfully navigated the final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport from the south west, maintaining a precise heading of 51.0° at a height of 277 ft above ground level (agl) and 1 nm from the runway.
Upon approaching the runway, the aircraft's performance was noted to be consistent with good touch down threshold speed at 71 kt. However, the threshold height at 58 ft agl was slightly above the target, though this discrepancy did not seem to affect the landing in any significant way.
The landing itself was executed exceptionally well, with the touchdown point 73 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, demonstrating an almost perfect touchdown alignment and maintaining a low touchdown speed of 50 kt. The rate of descent during landing was impressive, recording an excellent negative rate of -96 fpm.
The prevailing weather conditions during the landing included an ambient temperature of 20 °C and a wind of 3 kt from 227°. This led to a minimal crosswind of 0 kt, but a slight advantage from the tailwind, measuring 3 kt. The short landing distance of 738 m was noteworthy, as it was equivalent to approximately 41% of the runway length, further highlighting the pilot's exceptional skills and the GA-8 Airvan Commuter's impressive landing capabilities.
The aircraft maintained a stable and aligned trajectory during the rollout phase as well, with excellent runway alignment. Overall, the landing was marked by precision, control, and a high degree of proficiency, culminating in an impressive total score of 97.1%.
