The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,814 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 677 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, a Carenado T-34 Bravo, then departed from runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The takeoff distance was 435 meters, which accounted for 24% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 93 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from 330 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb overhead Ardersier in the Highland region of Scotland. The climb started from an altitude of 1,010 feet above sea level and reached 1,177 feet, an increase of 168 feet, in less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The climb was a smooth and efficient one, with the aircraft making good progress.
However, the flight was not without its challenges. The aircraft began its enroute descent 1 mile east of Ardersier, and it descended from 1,200 feet to 168 feet, a decrease of 1,032 feet, in 2 minutes and covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This descent was a critical phase of the flight, and the pilot's skills were put to the test as they navigated the aircraft safely back to the airport.
As the aircraft approached the airport, it encountered a go-around situation, and the pilot initiated a go-around from 134 feet above ground level. This was a critical moment in the flight, and the pilot's quick thinking and skills were essential in preventing a potentially hazardous situation.
The final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport was made from the southwest, heading 48.0 degrees at 0 nautical miles and 97 feet above ground level. The landing was a successful one, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 60 knots. The touchdown point was 237 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -45 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, and the pilot's skills were evident in the smooth and controlled landing.
The total landing distance was 1,014 meters, which accounted for 56% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, and the pilot brought the aircraft to a stop in a safe and controlled manner. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots from 331 degrees.
In conclusion, the flight was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating excellent skills and judgment throughout. The aircraft performed well, and the landing was a smooth and controlled one. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight used 2 kilograms of fuel.
The Carenado T-34 Bravo [STD] aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills. The final approach was initiated from the south-west, heading 48.0° at 0 nm and 97 ft above ground level (agl). This precise approach allowed the aircraft to maintain a stable and controlled descent, ultimately resulting in a smooth touchdown.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 237 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation from the ideal touchdown point. However, the touchdown speed of 60 kt was well within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -45 fpm was perfect, indicating a controlled and gentle touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain a stable and aligned approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 0 kt at 331°. This resulted in a zero crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The total landing distance of 1,014 meters was 56% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. Overall, this landing demonstrates exceptional piloting skills, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of aircraft handling and control. The Carenado T-34 Bravo [STD] aircraft performed flawlessly, and the pilot's expertise was on full display.
