The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport, a small airport located in the Highland region of Scotland. The DA40-XLS aircraft accelerated down the runway, eventually lifting off at a speed of 72 knots. The takeoff distance was a relatively short 212 meters, accounting for only 12% of the runway's total length.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and a gentle wind of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. This resulted in a slight tailwind component of 2 knots, which aided the aircraft's ascent. The climb was initiated overhead the airport, with the aircraft rising from an initial altitude of 244 feet above sea level to 440 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft continued its journey, it began its final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The approach was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 229.0° at an altitude of 406 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The aircraft maintained a steady course, eventually touching down on the runway with a speed of 53 knots.
The landing was deemed successful, with the touchdown point located 144 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -57 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the landing phase.
The flight was relatively short, covering a total distance of 2 nautical miles and lasting approximately 3 minutes. The aircraft consumed a total of 1 kilogram of fuel during the flight, indicating a high level of efficiency. Overall, the flight was characterized by a smooth and controlled departure, climb, and landing, with the aircraft performing well in the local weather conditions.

The DA40-XLS aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 95.4%. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, aligning with a heading of 229.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 406 feet above ground level (agl).
The aircraft touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 1,814 meters. 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 above the target speed, coming in at 78 knots. This may be due to the aircraft's approach configuration or the pilot's decision to prioritize a safe landing over a precise speed.
The touchdown point was located 144 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-shoot. Nevertheless, the touchdown speed of 53 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -57 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained a stable and consistent approach. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's stable approach.
Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down safely and within acceptable parameters. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled approach, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory.
