The DA42-VI aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, aligning with the runway 05 at a heading of 49.0°, approximately 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold at an altitude of 108.2 meters above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on the runway with precision, achieving a threshold speed of 83 knots, which is well within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 435 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 64 knots was within the desired limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed effectively.
One of the notable aspects of this landing was the excellent touchdown rate of -0.5 meters per second. This indicates a gentle and controlled touchdown, minimizing the impact on the aircraft and the runway. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, signifying that the pilot maintained a steady and accurate course throughout the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from the northwest. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each, which did not pose any significant challenges to the pilot.
The total landing distance of 671 meters was 37% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot executed a well-planned and controlled approach, taking into account the aircraft's performance and the runway's characteristics.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and stable exit from the runway.
