The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the aircraft, a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, accelerated down the 1,814-meter runway. The takeoff distance was 302 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 69 knots, a relatively smooth and controlled takeoff.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and a wind of 1 knot at 273 degrees. The crosswind and tailwind components were both 1 knot, indicating a relatively calm environment. The enroute climb started overhead Ardersier, a location in the Highland region of Scotland, where the aircraft climbed from 653 feet above sea level to 1,050 feet in less than a minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, also starting overhead Ardersier, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This phase allowed the aircraft to stabilize and maintain a consistent altitude.
The final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 43.0 degrees at 1 nautical mile and 362 feet above ground level. The landing was executed with a threshold speed that was well above the target, at 77 knots, and a touchdown distance of 476 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 46 knots, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -66 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The local weather conditions during the landing were 20°C temperature and a wind of 3 knots at 226 degrees, with a crosswind of 0 knots and a tailwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 817 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway.
The total flight distance was 5 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. The aircraft used -90 kilograms of fuel during the flight, indicating a relatively efficient operation. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly and safely, with good control and handling throughout.

The Piper PA-24-250 Comanche successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 43.0°, 1 nautical mile away and at an altitude of 362 feet above ground level. This precise approach allowed the pilot to maintain control and execute a smooth landing.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot had maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold. The threshold speed, however, was slightly above the target speed of 77 kt, but this did not compromise the overall landing performance. The touchdown distance of 476 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 46 kt was well within the desired range.
One of the most impressive aspects of this landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -66 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the pilot had maintained a high degree of control and precision during the landing, resulting in a smooth and gentle touchdown. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to accurately align the aircraft with the runway.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle wind of 3 kt at 226°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was minimal, which contributed to the smooth landing. The total landing distance of 817 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and precision during the rollout phase of the landing. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's exceptional skills and experience, and it demonstrated a high degree of proficiency in executing a safe and controlled landing.
