The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The Cessna C172 aircraft required a takeoff distance of 221 meters, which is 12% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 61 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 273°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern from runway 23, it covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 19 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind leg took 27 seconds to complete, also covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The pattern downwind turn was executed at an angle of 78.2° to the runway, with a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 75 seconds.

The pattern base leg turn was made at an angle of 53.1° to the runway, with a distance of 1 nautical mile. The base leg itself was completed in 34 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The final turn was made in 30 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, heading 230.0° at an altitude of 227 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 23 was executed with a threshold speed that was well above the target speed of 69 knots. The touchdown point was 71 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 53 knots and an excellent touchdown rate of -64 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 7°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 186°, resulting in a crosswind of 4 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.

The total landing distance was 887 meters, which is 49% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, taking 8 minutes to complete, and the aircraft used 40 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
