Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down smoothly on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, with a threshold height that met the desired standards. The approach quality was excellent, with a steady descent and a threshold speed of 70 kt, which was well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it did so at a speed of 60 kt, which was also good, and a touchdown rate of -152 fpm, indicating a controlled and stable touchdown.

The touchdown distance of 198 m was within the expected parameters, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The aircraft's performance was further enhanced by the low crosswind component of 1 kt, which allowed for a smooth and controlled touchdown.
