The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The Beechcraft Duke took off with a takeoff distance of 586 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 100 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

After takeoff, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 23. The entry distance was less than 1 nautical mile and was completed in 23 seconds. The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind turn was also executed efficiently, with a distance of less than 1 nautical mile covered in 12 seconds. The pattern downwind turn was made at an angle of 60.1 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The downwind leg itself was 2 nautical miles long and took 53 seconds to complete.

The pattern base leg turn was made at an angle of 51.3 degrees to the runway, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The base leg itself was less than 1 nautical mile long and took 17 seconds to complete. The final turn was made in less than 1 nautical mile and took 33 seconds to complete. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, heading 228.0 degrees at an altitude of 131 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 23 was executed smoothly, with a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 81 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 359 meters, and the touchdown speed was 69 knots, which was considered good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -131 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots at 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

The total landing distance was 714 meters, which accounted for 39% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, and the flight took 5 minutes to complete. Notably, the aircraft used 0 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Beechcraft Duke

Landing Score 98.53 %

Landing Summary

The Beechcraft Duke successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 98.5%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 228.0° at an altitude of 131 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. This precise approach demonstrates the pilot's skill and attention to detail.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 1,814 meters. The threshold height was good, indicating that the pilot maintained a safe distance from the runway threshold. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 81 knots, which may be a minor area for improvement.

The touchdown distance of 359 meters was good, and the touchdown speed of 69 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -131 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to align the aircraft with the runway centerline.

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°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the headwind component was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during landing.

The total landing distance of 714 meters was 39% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop quickly and efficiently. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the Beechcraft Duke demonstrating its capabilities and the pilot's skills in a challenging environment.
