Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Sirius

Landing Score 99.83 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, identified as Sirius, successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a remarkable score of 99.8%. The final approach to runway 23 was conducted from the north east, aligning with a heading of 230.0° at an altitude of 188 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision, touching down on the runway at a distance of 322 meters. This is a good indication of the pilot's skill and ability to manage the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown speed of 39 knots was also within acceptable limits, further emphasizing the pilot's expertise.

One notable aspect of the landing was the threshold speed, which was slightly below the target speed of 50 knots. However, this did not seem to have any significant impact on the overall performance of the aircraft. The touchdown rate of -40 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, suggesting that the pilot had excellent spatial awareness and control over the aircraft's position and orientation. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle headwind of 2 knots at 269°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, which further contributed to the smoothness of the landing.

Overall, the landing of the Sirius aircraft at EGPE Inverness Airport was a textbook example of precision and control, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skills and expertise. The high score of 99.8% is a testament to the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's performance and navigate the challenging conditions of the approach and landing.
