Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen: Pioneer

Landing Score 99.12 %

Landing Summary

The Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen, a pioneering aircraft, successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, showcasing its exceptional performance capabilities. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-east, heading 229.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 264 feet above ground level (agl). This precise approach was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's design.

Upon landing on runway 23, which measures 1,814 meters in length, the aircraft demonstrated excellent control and stability. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a safe altitude before touching down. The threshold speed of 38 knots was also satisfactory, allowing the aircraft to slow down smoothly before touchdown.

The touchdown distance of 227 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 23 knots was well within the recommended range. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -67 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft was able to touch down smoothly and quickly, minimizing the risk of damage to the aircraft or the runway.

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 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and impressive. The total landing distance of 270 meters was a mere 15% of the runway length, demonstrating the aircraft's exceptional braking capabilities.

The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain its direction and speed after touchdown. This is a critical aspect of landing, as it ensures that the aircraft can be safely brought to a stop without deviating from the centerline of the runway. Overall, the Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen's landing at EGPE Inverness Airport was a testament to its exceptional performance capabilities and the pilot's skill.
