This flight was conducted in a DA40-NG aircraft, taking off from Inverness Airport (EGPE) in Inverness, Scotland. The enroute climb began immediately after departure, with the aircraft ascending from a height of 32 feet above sea level to 1,105 feet above sea level, a total increase of 1,073 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 1 nautical mile.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise phase, which lasted for 4 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. This phase took place approximately 1 mile southwest of Ardersier, another location in the Highland region of Scotland.
As the aircraft approached the final approach phase, it began its descent from a height of 334 feet above ground level (agl) while heading in a northeasterly direction at a bearing of 211.0°. The aircraft was approximately 1 nautical mile from the runway at this point.
The landing itself was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The runway is 1,814 meters long, providing ample space for the aircraft to come to a stop. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed of 72 knots was also satisfactory. The touchdown distance of 246 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 56 knots was also good. Perhaps most impressively, the touchdown rate was an excellent -72 feet per minute, indicating a very smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 271°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 2 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's landing was unaffected, with the runway touchdown alignment being perfect. The total landing distance of 522 meters was just 29% of the runway length, indicating a very efficient and controlled landing.
Following the landing, the aircraft's rollout was also smooth, with perfect alignment on the runway. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used only 2 kilograms of fuel during the entire flight.

The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 211.0° at 1 nautical mile and 334 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was likely a standard procedure, taking advantage of the prevailing wind conditions to minimize the impact of crosswinds.
The aircraft touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 1,814 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe altitude before touchdown. The threshold speed of 72 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and speed. The touchdown distance of 246 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 56 knots was also good.
One of the most impressive aspects of this landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -72 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the pilot was able to smoothly and gradually bring the aircraft to a stop, minimizing the risk of damage to the aircraft or injury to the occupants. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained a steady and consistent approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 271°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 2 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the approach and landing. The total landing distance of 522 meters was only 29% of the runway length, indicating that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and was able to bring it to a stop safely and smoothly. Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of skill and proficiency in the pilot, and is a testament to the effectiveness of the DA40-NG aircraft in a variety of weather conditions.
