This flight was conducted in a M500 aircraft, departing from Inverness Airport (EGPE) on runway 05. The taxiing process from the parking area to the runway took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The departure roll on runway 05 was smooth, with a takeoff distance of 919 meters, which accounted for 51% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 112 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 273 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind effect. The aircraft then entered a left-hand pattern from runway 05, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile in just 19 seconds.

As the aircraft continued its pattern, it encountered a crosswind from runway 05, which it navigated in less than 1 nautical mile in 15 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was executed at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23, which was located to the north-east of the airport.

The final approach was made from a heading of 230 degrees at an altitude of 0 nautical miles and -31 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 23 was smooth, with a threshold speed of 88 knots and a touchdown distance of 375 meters. The touchdown speed was 75 knots, and the touchdown rate was a smooth -108 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions remained the same as during departure.

The total landing distance was 839 meters, which accounted for 46% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 10 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
