Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Cessna C182

Landing Score 97.22 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna C182 aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 97.2%. The final approach was conducted from the north east, heading 230.0° at 1 nautical mile and 424 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately landing safely on runway 23.

The runway at EGPE Inverness Airport has a length of 1,814 meters, providing a sufficient distance for the aircraft to touch down and come to a stop. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 70 knots, which may be a minor concern for the pilot.

The touchdown distance of 377 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 56 knots was also within acceptable limits. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -68 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the aircraft touched down smoothly and quickly, reducing the risk of damage to the aircraft and the runway.

Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.1 meters from the centerline, this was not considered a major issue. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots from 221°. The crosswind was negligible, with a speed of 0 knots.

The total landing distance of 732 meters was 40% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase and brought it to a stop safely. Overall, the landing was a success, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment.
