The Commander 114 taxied to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport and commenced the take-off roll, covering a distance of 390 m which represented 21 % of the available runway. Rotation was achieved at 73 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind from 269° at 2 kt, giving a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 2 kt head-wind component.

After departure the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 23, flying a 1 nm entry segment in 25 seconds.

The subsequent left-hand cross-wind leg was completed in less than 1 nm and required 17 seconds.

The down-wind turn was flown for 2 nm with an angle to the runway of 53.7° measured from the 45° reference.

The down-wind leg itself extended 2 nm and was flown in 53 seconds.

A left-hand base turn followed, covering 1 nm and presenting an angle to the runway of 71.8° from the 45° reference.

The base leg was less than 1 nm in length and was completed in 39 seconds.

The final turn to the runway was also less than 1 nm and took 19 seconds to execute.

Landing was made on runway 23, whose total length is 1,866 m. The threshold speed was slightly above the target at 73 kt. Touchdown occurred 280 m down the runway at a speed of 57 kt, with a vertical rate of minus 47 fpm and perfect alignment. Weather conditions remained 15 °C, wind 2 kt from 269°, cross-wind 1 kt and head-wind 2 kt.

Runway rollout alignment was perfect and the total landing distance measured 443 m, representing 24 % of the runway length.

In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 8 nm, took 5 (units as provided), and consumed 3 kg of fuel.
