Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, a small airfield in the Scottish Highlands. The aircraft, an American Champion Scout, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 110 meters, which accounted for just 6% of the runway's total length. As it picked up speed, the aircraft lifted off the ground at a speed of 40 knots.

The initial climb was brief, lasting only 4 minutes, during which the aircraft cruised at a level altitude, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. The flight then began its descent, with the pilot navigating the aircraft towards runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport from the north-east.

As the aircraft approached the runway, it was flying at an altitude of 307 feet above ground level and heading in the direction of 228.0 degrees. The pilot carefully guided the aircraft onto the runway, touching down at a speed of 39 knots. The touchdown distance was a respectable 422 meters, and the touchdown rate was perfect, with the aircraft descending at a rate of -48 feet per minute.

The landing was a success, with the aircraft coming to rest on the runway in a perfectly aligned position. The total landing distance was 797 meters, which accounted for just 44% of the runway's total length. The pilot then brought the aircraft to a stop, using a minimal amount of runway to do so. The entire flight, which covered a distance of 7 nautical miles, had used a total of 2 kilograms of fuel and lasted for 5 minutes.

Landing Summary

The American Champion Scout aircraft, identified as LIONS 26 650, successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, navigating a final approach to runway 23 from the north east. The aircraft was at an altitude of 307 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway, with a heading of 228.0°. The pilot executed a precise landing, achieving a good threshold height and touchdown speed.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 39 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 422 meters was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The aircraft's rate of descent at touchdown was -48 feet per minute, which is considered perfect, signifying a well-executed landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft through these conditions and achieve a very good runway touchdown alignment is a testament to their skill and experience.

The total landing distance of 797 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a respectable figure considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, resulting in a 99.3% score.
