The flight began with the departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The aircraft, Sirius, required a takeoff distance of 109 meters, which was 6% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 63 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 225 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 0 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern from runway 23, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 17 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind leg also covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 17 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was completed at an angle of 82.1 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 62 seconds.

The pattern base leg turn was made at an angle of 50.1 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The base leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 30 seconds. The final turn was also completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 33 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, heading 229.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 232 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed was also good at 52 knots. The touchdown distance was 415 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed was 38 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at 15 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. At the time of landing, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

The total landing distance was 651 meters, which was 36% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, which was completed in 5 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -8 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
