The flight began with an enroute climb from Inverness Airport, where the aircraft, a PA28 Arrow III, took off and started ascending from a height of -91 ft above sea level to 1,079 ft asl. This climb was quite steep, with the aircraft increasing its altitude by 1,170 ft in just 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The climb phase was completed overhead Ardersier, a nearby location in the Highland region of Scotland.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, where it maintained a steady altitude for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This phase was likely used to stabilize the aircraft and prepare it for the final approach to the runway.
The final approach to runway 05 at Inverness Airport was initiated from the south west, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 48.0°. The approach was made at an altitude of 167 ft above ground level, and the aircraft was 1 nautical mile away from the runway threshold. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 61 kt, which was considered good. The touchdown point was 76 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The landing distance was 789 meters, which accounted for 43% of the runway length. The runway length at Inverness Airport is 1,814 meters, making it a relatively long runway. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 kt from a direction of 260°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 kt, while the tailwind component was 2 kt.
The aircraft's performance during the landing was satisfactory, with a smooth touchdown rate of -119 fpm. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing phase. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 3 kg of fuel during the flight.

The PA28 Arrow III aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 97.9%. The final approach was conducted from the south-west, heading 48.0° at 1 nautical mile and 167 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good alignment with the runway during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 05.
The runway at EGPE Inverness Airport has a length of 1,814 meters, providing a sufficient distance for the aircraft to touch down and come to a stop. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly too high at 89 knots, which may have required some adjustments to be made during the approach.
The touchdown point was 76 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 61 knots was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was able to touch down at a safe and controlled speed. The touchdown rate of -119 feet per minute (fpm) was also smooth, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of touching down on the runway without any issues.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 260°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing. However, the pilot was able to successfully navigate these conditions and maintain a good alignment with the runway.
The total landing distance of 789 meters was 43% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the aircraft was able to touch down and come to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was reported as perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain a straight and level path as it came to a stop on the runway.
Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft achieving a high score and demonstrating good control and precision during the approach and landing.
