The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, a small airport located in the Highland region of Scotland. The aircraft, a DA40-XLS, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 63 kt, covering a distance of 138 m, which was 8% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 2 kt from a direction of 288 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 750 ft above sea level to a cruising altitude of 1,123 ft, a vertical gain of 374 ft, in just 1 minute. This rapid climb was achieved while covering a distance of less than 1 nm. The enroute level cruise phase of the flight lasted for 6 minutes, during which the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered a distance of 11 nm.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from an altitude of 945 ft above sea level to a landing altitude of 109 ft, a vertical loss of 836 ft, in just 2 minutes. This steep descent was achieved while covering a distance of 2 nm. The final approach to runway 02 at EG73 RNAS Fearn Air Base was made from the south west, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 39.0 ° and an altitude of 82 ft above ground level.
The landing itself was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 49 kt and a distance of 169 m, which was 44% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was also smooth, at -114 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind blowing at 2 kt from a direction of 288 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component.
The total landing distance was 433 m, and the runway rollout alignment was also perfect. The total flight distance was 15 nm, and the flight duration was 10 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 5 kg of fuel during the flight. Overall, the flight was characterized by smooth and controlled flight phases, with good weather conditions and a successful landing.

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EG73 RNAS Fearn Air Base, achieving a high score of 97.9%. The final approach was conducted from the south-west, aligning with the runway 02 heading of 39.0°. At the point of landing, the aircraft was at 0 nm and 82 ft above ground level (agl), indicating a precise and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed on the runway with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target of 60 kt. However, this minor deviation did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 169 m was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 49 kt was also within acceptable limits. The rate of descent at touchdown was smooth, at -114 fpm, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and control.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 2 kt from 288°. This resulted in a minimal crosswind and tailwind, with both being 1 kt. The runway length of 975 m was sufficient for the aircraft to land safely, and the touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control throughout the approach and landing.
The total landing distance of 433 m was 44% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and the runway conditions. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing roll. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down smoothly and safely on the runway.
