The DA40-NG aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 230.0° at 0 nm and 258 ft above ground level (agl). This approach was likely a standard procedure, taking advantage of the prevailing wind conditions to minimize the impact of crosswinds.
Upon reaching the runway threshold, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 55 kt, which is well within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown distance of 327 m was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the descent. The touchdown rate of -81 fpm was particularly impressive, demonstrating a high degree of precision and control.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component, making the landing even more straightforward. The pilot's ability to navigate the aircraft to the runway threshold and touch down at the correct speed and distance is a testament to their skill and experience.
The total landing distance of 591 m, which accounts for 33% of the runway length, is also noteworthy. This indicates that the pilot had maintained a high level of control and precision throughout the landing, allowing the aircraft to come to a stop quickly and safely. The perfect runway rollout alignment further underscores the pilot's expertise, as it suggests that they had maintained a steady and controlled descent throughout the landing.
Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of proficiency and skill on the part of the pilot, as well as a thorough understanding of the aircraft's performance characteristics and the local weather conditions. The DA40-NG aircraft performed admirably, and the landing was a textbook example of a safe and controlled touchdown.
