The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza took off with a takeoff distance of 928 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 80 knots, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 222 degrees.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand pattern, it demonstrated impressive agility, completing the entry turn in less than 1 nautical mile in just 24 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was equally impressive, with the aircraft covering the distance in less than 1 nautical mile in 18 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was a bit longer, covering 2 nautical miles, and the angle to the runway was 59.1 degrees. The downwind leg itself was 1 nautical mile long and took 36 seconds to complete.

The base leg turn was another sharp turn, with the aircraft covering 1 nautical mile in a short distance, and the angle to the runway was 84.8 degrees. The base leg itself was less than 1 nautical mile long and took 25 seconds to complete. The final turn was the shortest of all, covering less than 1 nautical mile in just 14 seconds.

The landing on runway 23 was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 58 knots and a distance of 483 meters. The touchdown rate was perfect at -32 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was spot on. The total landing distance was 714 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a well-executed landing.

The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight took 3 minutes to complete, using a total of 68 kilograms of fuel. Overall, the flight was a testament to the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza's agility, maneuverability, and smooth handling characteristics.

Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza

Landing Score 97.06 %

Landing Summary

The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a score of 97.1%. The aircraft demonstrated a good understanding of the landing conditions, despite some minor deviations from the target parameters.

The threshold height at 58 ft above ground level (agl) was slightly above the target, indicating that the pilot may have been slightly high on final approach. However, this did not seem to affect the overall performance of the landing. The threshold speed of 90 kt was also higher than the target, suggesting that the pilot may have been slightly too aggressive on the approach.

Despite these minor deviations, the touchdown distance of 483 m was good, and the touchdown speed of 58 kt was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -32 ft per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating that the pilot had a good control of the aircraft's descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to accurately align the aircraft with the runway.

The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20 °C and a wind speed of 3 kt at 222°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the headwind component was 3 kt, which may have helped to slow the aircraft down on final approach.

The total landing distance of 714 m was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had a good control of the aircraft's speed and direction during the rollout phase.

Overall, the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and proficiency in landing the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The minor deviations from the target parameters did not seem to affect the overall performance of the landing, and the pilot was able to achieve a high score of 97.1%.
