Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the AA-5B (N20367)

Landing Score 98.27 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, identified as AA-5B (N20367), successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving an exceptional score of 98.3%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading towards runway 23, which is a significant milestone requiring precise navigation skills. At an altitude of 361 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile from the threshold, the aircraft demonstrated excellent control and stability, highlighting the pilot's skill in managing speed and altitude during the final approach phase.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a position 92 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing site. Nevertheless, the touchdown speed of 37 knots was well within the acceptable range, showcasing the pilot's expertise in maintaining a stable descent rate. Moreover, the touchdown rate of -60 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and descent during the landing phase.

A review of the aircraft's performance reveals that the threshold speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft crosses the threshold of the runway, was 75 knots. This speed was likely maintained throughout the approach phase, allowing the aircraft to land smoothly and efficiently. The local weather conditions at the time of landing, including a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 270°, contributed to a relatively smooth and stable landing environment.

The runway length at EGPE Inverness Airport is 1,814 meters, providing a sufficient distance for the aircraft to land safely. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the point of touchdown. The crosswind, headwind, and tailwind components were measured at 1 knot, 2 knots, and 0 knots, respectively, suggesting a calm and stable wind environment that did not pose significant challenges to the landing operation. Overall, the pilots demonstrated exceptional skill and control throughout the landing phase, ultimately achieving a successful landing at EGPE Inverness Airport.
