Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the DA50

Landing Score 98.6 %

Landing Summary

The DA50 aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 98.6%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, heading 233.0° at 1 nautical mile and 198 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 23.

The runway at EGPE Inverness Airport has a length of 1,814 meters, providing a safe margin for the DA50's landing. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude when approaching the runway. The threshold speed of 76 knots was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the approach.

The touchdown distance of 329 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 64 knots was also good. However, it was the touchdown rate that truly stood out, with an excellent rate of -73 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and with minimal impact, reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft and its occupants.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, providing a stable and predictable environment for the landing.

The total landing distance of 547 meters was only 30% of the runway length, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to stop quickly and efficiently.
