The flight in question was conducted on a Velocity XL aircraft, which took off from Inverness Airport (EGPE) in Inverness, Scotland. The aircraft began its enroute climb from a height of 27 feet above sea level (asl) and steadily ascended to 1,245 ft asl, a total increase of 1,218 ft in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles (nm). This impressive climb rate showcased the aircraft's capabilities.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise, maintaining a steady altitude for 2 minutes while covering another 3 nm. This brief period of steady flight allowed the pilot to assess the aircraft's performance and make any necessary adjustments.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The approach was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 231.0° at an altitude of 113 ft agl and a distance of 0 nm from the runway. The pilot expertly guided the aircraft towards the runway, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 20°C and a gentle headwind of 3 kt from 227°.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 71 kt, which was well within the target range. The touchdown point was located 148 m beyond the touchdown zone, but this was still considered a good landing. The aircraft's touchdown rate was also impressive, with a rate of -18 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions did not pose any significant challenges to the landing.
The total landing distance was 911 m, which accounted for 50% of the runway length. This was a respectable performance, considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
In terms of fuel consumption, the aircraft used a total of 92 kg of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a distance of 7 nm and lasted for 4 minutes. This was a relatively efficient performance, considering the aircraft's capabilities and the flight conditions. Overall, the flight was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and the aircraft performing well under various conditions.

The Aircraft Velocity XL successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its flight operations. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 231.0°. At an altitude of 113 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway, the aircraft began its final approach.
The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down 148 meters beyond the touchdown zone. This slight overrun is not uncommon, especially considering the aircraft's high threshold speed of 93 knots, which was well above the target speed. The touchdown speed of 71 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -18 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots at 227°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots. The runway length of 1,814 meters was sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance of 911 meters, which was 50% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe rollout.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, the Aircraft Velocity XL's landing at EGPE Inverness Airport was a success, with a high score of 97.8% reflecting the pilot's skill and expertise in executing a safe and controlled landing.
