Departure
Arrival
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, a Cessna C172 aircraft taking to the skies. The takeoff distance was 326 meters, which accounted for 18% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 65 knots, a smooth and controlled start to the flight.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it encountered local weather conditions of 15 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 269 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, providing a stable and predictable environment for the climb.
The enroute climb began overhead EGPE Inverness Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 423 feet above sea level to 328 feet, an increase of 95 feet in just 2 minutes. This climb was achieved while covering less than 1 nautical mile, demonstrating the aircraft's efficient performance.
As the flight progressed, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport, coming in from the southwest at a heading of 48.0 degrees. The aircraft was at an altitude of 297 feet above ground level and was approximately 1 nautical mile from the runway.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a distance of 300 meters. The touchdown speed was 51 knots, which was within the target range, and the touchdown rate was a respectable -165 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a well-executed landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were identical to those encountered during the climb, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind of 2 knots at 270 degrees. The crosswind component was again minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 2 knots, providing a stable and predictable environment for the landing.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 2 nautical miles and lasted for 3 minutes, consuming 2 kilograms of fuel in the process. The flight was a testament to the Cessna C172's efficiency and performance, as well as the pilot's skill and experience.

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 97.2%. The final approach to runway 05 was conducted from the south west, with a heading of 48.0° at 1 nautical mile and 297 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled approach, with the aircraft maintaining a steady course and altitude.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway at a distance of 300 meters, which is considered good. The touchdown speed of 51 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown rate of -165 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, suggesting that the aircraft was able to absorb the impact of landing without excessive deceleration.
The threshold height was reported as good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target of 64 knots, but still within the acceptable range at 66 knots. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a steady speed during the approach and landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots, which is relatively minimal and should not have had a significant impact on the landing.
Overall, the landing was considered perfect, with the runway touchdown alignment being spot on. The combination of precise control, good speed management, and favorable weather conditions resulted in a successful and safe landing.
