The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche took off with a takeoff distance of 233 meters, which is 13% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 73 knots, and the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 331 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile northwest of Croy, Scotland. The climb was steep, with an increase in altitude from 1,022 feet above sea level to 1,338 feet above sea level, a rise of 316 feet in just 1 minute, while covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. This rapid ascent was followed by a brief enroute level cruise, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles, starting 2 miles north of Balloch, Scotland.
The enroute descent began 1 mile southeast of Fortrose, Scotland, where the aircraft descended from 1,318 feet above sea level to 246 feet above sea level, a decrease of 1,073 feet in 2 minutes, while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport was made from the northeast, with a heading of 231.0 degrees at an altitude of 211 feet above ground level, 0 nautical miles from the airport.
The landing was executed on runway 23, which has a length of 1,814 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 82 knots. The touchdown point was 134 meters beyond the touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 42 knots was good, and the touchdown rate of -63 feet per minute was excellent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.
The local weather conditions remained the same throughout the flight, with a temperature of 9 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 0 knots at 331 degrees. There was no crosswind or headwind to contend with. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes, during which the aircraft used 3 kilograms of fuel.

The aircraft in question is a Piper PA-24-250 Comanche, which successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport. The final approach was conducted from the north-east, aligning with a heading of 231.0° at an altitude of 211 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing was executed on runway 23, which has a length of 1,814 meters. The threshold height was satisfactory, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly higher than ideal, reaching 82 knots.
The touchdown point was located 134 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight over-shooting of the intended landing spot. Nevertheless, the touchdown speed of 42 knots was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -63 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from a direction of 331°. This resulted in a crosswind and headwind of 0 knots, making the landing even more straightforward.
