The flight commenced its enroute climb from Inverness Airport, where it departed from a low altitude of 30 feet above sea level. The aircraft efficiently ascended to 3,935 feet above sea level, a vertical increase of 3,905 feet, in just 6 minutes, covering a horizontal distance of 10 nautical miles. This initial climb phase set the tone for the remainder of the flight, showcasing the aircraft's ability to efficiently manage its altitude and airspeed.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft transitioned into a series of enroute level cruises, which allowed it to maintain a consistent altitude while covering varying distances. The first level cruise phase, which lasted 2 minutes, covered 3 nautical miles, while the second phase, which occurred over Inverness, lasted 2 minutes and covered 4 nautical miles. These level cruises provided the aircraft with opportunities to stabilize its airspeed and altitude, ensuring a smooth and efficient flight. The aircraft's descent from 3,474 feet above sea level to 997 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,476 feet, was completed in just 3 minutes, covering 7 nautical miles.

The flight's final approach and landing phase was notable for its precision and control. The aircraft executed two go-arounds, initially at 1,278 feet above ground level and subsequently at 1,053 feet above ground level, before successfully landing on runway 05 at Inverness Airport. The touchdown speed of 70 knots was slightly above the target, but the touchdown distance of 247 meters was good, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance of 613 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway length, was also satisfactory. The aircraft's rollout alignment was perfect, and the total flight distance of 29 nautical miles was achieved in 16 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 7 kilograms.
