The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The aircraft, a TBM 850, required a takeoff distance of 545 meters, which is 30% of the available runway length. The liftoff speed of 97 knots was achieved promptly, and with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a slight headwind of 2 knots, the conditions were favorable for takeoff.

Once airborne, the pilot navigated a right-hand pattern entry from the runway, demonstrating agility and precision. The aircraft covered less than one nautical mile in just 22 seconds, showcasing the pilot's expertise in handling the TBM 850.

Following the initial turn, the pilot executed a smooth pattern crosswind, covering the same distance in a mere 16 seconds. The subsequent downwind turn featured an angle of 45 degrees, positioning the aircraft at 58.1 degrees to the runway, and required a distance of 2 nautical miles to complete. This turn was a crucial segment of the approach, requiring concentration and skill.

Next, the pilot continued with the downwind leg, covering a short distance of less than one nautical mile in just 8 seconds. The base leg turn then followed, featuring an angle of 45 degrees with the runway, and required a distance of 1 nautical mile to complete.

As the aircraft approached the runway, the pilot executed a precise final turn, covering a short distance of less than one nautical mile in 27 seconds. This marked the beginning of the final approach, with the pilot lining up for a landing on runway 23 from the north-east, at a heading of 255.0 degrees and 522 feet above ground level.

Upon touching down, the pilot achieved a touchdown speed of 65 knots, which was considered good, and a touchdown rate of -33 feet per minute, which was perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, and the pilot managed to bring the aircraft to a stop without any issues, completing the rollout in perfect alignment.

The total landing distance was 974 meters, which represents 54% of the available runway length. Notably, the pilot used only 1 kilogram of fuel throughout the flight, and the total flight distance of 10 nautical miles was covered in just 6 minutes. Overall, the pilot demonstrated exceptional skills and precision throughout the flight, ensuring a safe and efficient landing at EGPE Inverness Airport.
