A DA40-NG aircraft departed from Inverness Airport (EGPE) using runway 23. Upon taking off, it required a relatively short distance of 277 meters (15% of the runway) to achieve liftoff speed of 66 knots. Local conditions at the time of takeoff featured a temperature of 16 °C with a minimal headwind of 2 knots and a crosswind component of 1 knot.
Upon completing the initial departure roll, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern over the runway, showcasing a swift turn. The pilot successfully executed the turn, maneuvering the aircraft in under 1 nautical mile in just 19 seconds.
After entering the pattern, the pilot continued with the next phase of the left-hand pattern, navigating the crosswind leg, and completing the turn. This leg took a similar distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 22 seconds.
As the aircraft approached the next phase of the flight, the pilot initiated a pattern downwind turn. In this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of 1 nautical mile while executing a turn with an angle of 80.5 degrees relative to the runway. The downwind leg then followed, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles in 77 seconds.
Following the downwind leg, the pilot executed the base leg turn. This turn also covered 1 nautical mile in distance while the aircraft navigated at an angle of 15 degrees relative to the runway. With the base leg phase complete, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 23.
The final approach was conducted from the northeastern direction, heading at 229.0 degrees and 1 nautical mile away from the runway at an altitude of 296 feet. Local conditions at this point featured the same temperature and wind conditions experienced at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 °C, wind of 2 knots at 269 degrees, a minimal crosswind component, and a headwind of 2 knots.
As the aircraft neared the runway, it landed successfully on runway 23, which measures 1,814 meters in length. The pilot was able to maintain a good threshold height throughout the landing, achieving a threshold speed of 65 knots, which is slightly below the target speed of 66 knots.
The touchdown distance was also satisfactory, covering a distance of 160 meters, while the touchdown speed of 55 knots was within acceptable limits. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of -154 feet per minute was deemed good. The aircraft successfully touched down with perfect runway alignment upon landing.
The total distance flown for this flight was 6 nautical miles, covering the distance in 5 minutes. Notably, the DA40-NG aircraft used a modest amount of fuel during this flight, totaling 1 kilogram.

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully executed a landing at EGPE Inverness Airport, with a commendable score of 99.8%. The final approach began from the north east, heading directly towards the runway 23, at an altitude of 296 ft above ground level (agl) and 1 nm (1 nautical mile) away from the runway. This precise approach trajectory is indicative of the pilot's skill and adherence to standard operating procedures.
Upon touching down on the runway 23, which measures 1,814 meters in length, the pilot maintained a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 65 kt. Nevertheless, the pilot successfully absorbed the aircraft's kinetic energy and brought it to a stop within a respectable touchdown distance of 160 meters. Moreover, the speed at the moment of touchdown was also within acceptable limits at 55 kt, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent speed.
Another notable aspect of this landing was the low touchdown rate of -154 fpm, which is an indication of a smooth and controlled touchdown. This rate suggests that the pilot had a high degree of proficiency in handling the aircraft, particularly during the final stages of the descent. Furthermore, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, signifying that the pilot had an excellent understanding of wind patterns and runway configuration.
The prevailing local weather conditions were characterized by a moderate temperature of 15 °C and a relatively light wind of 2 kt at 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 kt and a 2 kt headwind, which facilitated the landing process. Overall, this excellent landing demonstrates the pilot's high level of skill and proficiency, and the aircraft's capabilities.
