The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The aircraft, a Rans S6S, required a takeoff distance of 113 meters, which accounted for 6% of the runway. The liftoff speed was achieved at 51 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead EGPE Inverness Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 614 feet above sea level to 1,367 feet, an increase of 753 feet, in just 1 minute. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. This cruise phase took place 1 mile southwest of the airport.

The final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport was initiated from a position 2 nautical miles from the runway, at an altitude of 943 feet above ground level. The aircraft was heading in a direction of 35.0 degrees, which was aligned with the runway. The local weather conditions remained the same, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 270 degrees.

The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 29 knots. The touchdown distance was 283 meters, which was considered good. The touchdown speed was slightly below the target speed, but the touchdown rate of -180 feet per minute was also good. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 7 nautical miles and lasted for 7 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used no fuel during the flight, suggesting that the flight was likely a short training exercise or a test flight.

Landing Summary

The Rans S-6 Coyote II aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport with a score of 99.3%. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the south-west, with a heading of 35.0° at a distance of 2 nautical miles and an altitude of 943 feet above ground level (agl).

The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision during the landing, with a perfect runway touchdown alignment. The threshold height was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 42 knots, which may be a minor area for improvement.

The landing distance was good, with the aircraft touching down at a distance of 283 meters from the runway threshold. This is a respectable distance, considering the runway length of 1,814 meters. The touchdown speed of 29 knots was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot managed to slow the aircraft down effectively during the final stages of the approach.

The touchdown rate of -180 feet per minute (fpm) was also good, suggesting that the pilot maintained a controlled and stable descent throughout the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 2 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, and the tailwind component was 2 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly below-target threshold speed.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The score of 99.3% reflects the high standard of flying achieved by the pilot on this occasion.
