The aircraft in question, a Cessna 408 SkyCourier Cargo, successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, Scotland. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 47.0° and at an altitude of 417 feet above ground level (agl) and 1 nautical mile from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 185 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is slightly outside the ideal landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 75 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -128 feet per minute (fpm) was also smooth, suggesting a well-executed landing.
The runway threshold height at 73 feet agl was above the target, which may have contributed to the slightly longer touchdown distance. Additionally, the threshold speed of 96 knots was slightly above the target, but still within the safe operating range. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly longer touchdown distance. Overall, the landing was considered successful, with a score of 75.1%.
