Landing on runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the DA50

Landing Score 99.78 %

Landing Summary

The DA50 aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 99.8%. The final approach was conducted from the southwest, heading 34.0° at 2 nautical miles and 767 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing on runway 05.

The runway at EGPE Inverness Airport has a length of 1,814 meters, providing a sufficient distance for the DA50 to touch down safely. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude when approaching the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 82 kt, which is a minor deviation but still within acceptable limits.

The touchdown distance of 262 meters was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively and maintain control during the landing. The touchdown speed of 68 kt was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown rate of -60 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 kt from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and tailwind, making the landing even more challenging but ultimately successful. The total landing distance of 646 meters was 36% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight.

The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and direction during the rollout phase. Overall, the DA50 aircraft demonstrated excellent performance and control during the landing at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 99.8%.
