The flight began with an enroute climb from Inverness Airport, where the aircraft, a DA50, took off from a height of 32 feet above sea level and climbed to 977 feet in just one minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This rapid ascent allowed the aircraft to quickly gain altitude and establish a stable flight path.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, where it maintained a steady altitude and airspeed for two minutes, covering another 2 nautical miles. This phase of the flight allowed the pilot to assess the aircraft's performance and make any necessary adjustments to ensure a smooth and efficient flight.
As the aircraft approached Inverness Airport, it began its final approach to runway 05, descending from an altitude of 860 feet above ground level and heading southwest at a bearing of 33.0 degrees. The pilot carefully guided the aircraft towards the runway, taking into account the local weather conditions, which included a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots from the northwest.
However, the pilot decided to initiate a go-around, climbing the aircraft to an altitude of 995 feet above ground level. This decision was likely made in response to a change in the aircraft's performance or a concern about the approach.
The aircraft then successfully landed on runway 05, which had a length of 1,814 meters. The pilot reported that the threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 78 knots. The touchdown distance was 276 meters, and the touchdown speed was 62 knots, both of which were considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -104 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance was 590 meters, which was just 33% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, and the flight duration was six minutes, during which the aircraft used no fuel.

The DA50 aircraft successfully completed a landing on runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The final approach was initiated from a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 860 feet above ground level (agl), with a heading of 33.0° from the southwest.
Upon descending, the pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is a testament to their skill and control of the aircraft. The threshold speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft is supposed to touch down at the threshold of the runway, was also excellent, reaching 78 knots. This indicates that the pilot was able to maintain a smooth and controlled descent, allowing the aircraft to touch down at the correct speed.
The touchdown distance, which is the distance the aircraft travels from the moment it touches down to the moment it comes to a stop, was also good, with the aircraft coming to a stop at a distance of 276 meters. The touchdown speed, which is the speed at which the aircraft touches down, was a respectable 62 knots, further indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a smooth and controlled descent.
The pilot's ability to maintain a smooth touchdown rate was also impressive, with a rate of -104 feet per minute (fpm). This is a critical aspect of a landing, as a smooth touchdown rate helps to reduce the risk of damage to the aircraft and the runway. The runway touchdown alignment, which refers to the alignment of the aircraft with the runway at the moment of touchdown, was also perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind, which is the wind blowing perpendicular to the direction of the approach, was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind, which is the wind blowing in the same direction as the approach, was 2 knots. These conditions made the landing even more challenging, but the pilot was able to navigate them successfully.
The total landing distance, which is the distance the aircraft travels from the moment it touches down to the moment it comes to a stop, was 590 meters, which is approximately 33% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain a smooth and controlled descent. The runway rollout alignment, which refers to the alignment of the aircraft with the runway as it comes to a stop, was also perfect, further indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft throughout the landing.
In conclusion, the DA50 aircraft's landing on runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed landing. The pilot demonstrated excellent control and skill, navigating the aircraft through challenging weather conditions and maintaining a smooth and controlled descent. The high score achieved is a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance.
