The flight in question was conducted in a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza aircraft. The enroute climb phase began over Kinloss in Moray, Scotland, where the aircraft lifted off from a height of 22 feet above sea level and climbed to 1,153 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. This impressive climb rate of 565 feet per minute allowed the aircraft to quickly gain altitude and establish a stable cruise altitude.
Following the climb, the aircraft entered the enroute level cruise phase, which started 2 miles south of Burghead in Moray, Scotland. During this phase, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude for 9 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles. This phase of the flight allowed the aircraft to conserve fuel and maintain a steady pace.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The approach was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 230.0 degrees at a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway threshold. At an altitude of 773 feet above ground level, the aircraft was in a good position to begin its descent.
The landing itself was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 61 knots. The touchdown distance was 249 meters, which was well within the acceptable limits for the runway. The touchdown rate was also excellent, at -60 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 3 knots.
Following the landing, the aircraft rolled out on the runway, maintaining perfect alignment. The total landing distance was 600 meters, which was just 33% of the runway length. This indicates that the aircraft was able to land and stop safely within a relatively short distance. The entire flight distance was 27 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 13 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -5 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
