The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the Beechcraft Duke took off with a takeoff distance of 78 meters, which accounted for 4% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 104 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 276 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 3 knots.

After takeoff, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern, which it completed in a remarkably short time. The entry into the pattern from runway 23 took less than 1 nautical mile in 22 seconds, and the crosswind turn took less than 1 nautical mile in 14 seconds. The downwind turn was completed at an angle of 60.8 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself took 51 seconds to complete, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

As the aircraft approached the base leg, it turned at an angle of 51.6 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The base leg itself took 18 seconds to complete, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The final turn into the runway was completed in 33 seconds, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

The final approach to runway 23 was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 228.0 degrees at an altitude of 141 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was smooth, with the touchdown speed being 74 knots, which was good. The touchdown distance was also good, at 359 meters, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -110 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The total landing distance was 691 meters, which accounted for 38% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 7 nautical miles, which was completed in 4 minutes, and the aircraft used -24 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Beechcraft Duke

Landing Score 97.9 %

Landing Summary

The Beechcraft Duke successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 97.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 228.0° at 0 nm and 141 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a steady course, ensuring a smooth final approach to runway 23.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 74 kt, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 85 kt. However, this minor deviation did not affect the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 359 m was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's skill in controlling the aircraft's descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 4 kt at 276°. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 3 kt each, which further contributed to the smoothness of the landing. The aircraft's touchdown rate was a respectable -110 fpm, indicating a controlled and stable descent.

The most impressive aspect of the landing was the runway touchdown alignment, which was perfect. This suggests that the pilot had excellent situational awareness and was able to maintain the aircraft's alignment with the runway centerline throughout the approach and landing phases.

The total landing distance of 691 m was 38% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This indicates that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance characteristics and was able to optimize the landing distance.

Finally, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the Beechcraft Duke's landing at EGPE Inverness Airport was a textbook example of a well-executed and safe landing.
