The flight began with the departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The aircraft took off with a takeoff distance of 157 meters, which accounted for 9% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 68 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead EGPE Inverness Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 428 feet above sea level to 983 feet above sea level, an increase of 555 feet in just 1 minute. This climb covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. This cruise phase took place 1 mile west of EGPE Inverness Airport.

As the aircraft approached the end of its flight, it began its final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The approach was made from the south-west, with the aircraft heading at an angle of 44.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was 2 nautical miles from the runway and at an altitude of 510 feet above ground level.

The landing itself was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 47 knots. The touchdown point was 142 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed and rate were both good, with a touchdown rate of -22 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.

The total landing distance was 750 meters, which accounted for 41% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent from the landing. The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight took 6 minutes to complete. The aircraft used a total of 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight.

Landing Score 97.97 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, identified as Sirius, successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 98.0%. The final approach to runway 05 was conducted from the south-west, with a heading of 44.0° at an altitude of 510 feet above ground level (agl) and 2 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 142 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 47 knots was well within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -22 feet per minute (fpm) was also perfect, demonstrating excellent control and precision.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots, which had a negligible impact on the landing.

The total landing distance of 750 meters was 41% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was well under control throughout the landing process.

Overall, the landing was executed with precision and control, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and coming to a stop in a relatively short distance. The high score achieved by the Sirius aircraft is a testament to the skill and expertise of the pilot involved.
