The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza took off with a takeoff distance of 419 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 86 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it did so from runway 23, with the entry distance being less than 1 nautical mile in 23 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind turn was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 19 seconds. The pattern downwind turn involved a distance of 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 64.8 degrees. The downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nautical miles in 59 seconds.

The pattern base leg turn was another 2 nautical miles, with an angle to the runway of 52.4 degrees. The base leg itself was completed in less than 1 nautical mile in 30 seconds. The final turn was also less than 1 nautical mile in 30 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, heading 229.0 degrees at 0 nautical miles and 231 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a threshold height that was considered good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 82 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 336 meters, and the touchdown speed was 60 knots, which was also considered good. The touchdown rate was excellent at -73 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind. The total landing distance was 669 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, which was completed in 7 minutes, and the aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza

Landing Score 99.93 %

Landing Summary

The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, aligning itself with the runway's heading of 229.0° at a height of 231 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe distance from the runway's threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 82 knots, which may be attributed to the aircraft's performance characteristics or the pilot's decision to prioritize a safe touchdown over a precise speed. The touchdown distance of 336 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 60 knots was well within the recommended range.

One of the most impressive aspects of this landing was the aircraft's touchdown rate, which was an excellent -73 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's descent and touchdown, minimizing the impact on the landing gear and ensuring a smooth ride for the passengers. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's attention to detail and ability to maintain a stable approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The total landing distance of 669 meters, which accounted for 37% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.

Overall, this landing demonstrates the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza's capabilities and the pilot's exceptional skills in navigating challenging weather conditions and maintaining a safe and controlled approach.
