The flight began with the departure roll from runway 23 at Inverness Airport, EGPE. The aircraft, a Sirius, accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 203 meters, which accounted for 11% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 68 knots, marking the start of the flight.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots. The pilot then entered a right-hand pattern, navigating the aircraft around the airport in a clockwise direction.

The right-hand pattern entry was executed smoothly, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 28 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in 31 seconds, with the aircraft maintaining its course. The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, which involved a 45-degree angle to the runway and a distance of 2 nautical miles.

As the aircraft continued its pattern, it entered the downwind leg, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 21 seconds. The base leg turn was then executed, with the aircraft again turning at a 45-degree angle to the runway, this time covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The base leg itself was completed in 36 seconds, followed by the final turn, which was covered in just 40 seconds.

With the aircraft now aligned with the runway, the pilot initiated the final approach, descending from an altitude of 247 feet above ground level (agl) at a heading of 230 degrees. The landing was executed on runway 23, which had a length of 1,814 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was achieved at 56 knots.

The touchdown point was located 210 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 37 knots. The touchdown rate was perfect at -36 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown alignment was spot on. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind blowing at 3 knots from a direction of 227 degrees, with a crosswind component of 0 knots and a headwind component of 3 knots.

The total landing distance was 969 meters, which accounted for 53% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 6 nautical miles, which was completed in 5 minutes, and the aircraft used 5 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing Score 94.27 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft, identified as Sirius, successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 94.3%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 230.0° at an altitude of 247 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated good control and precision, touching down on the runway at a speed of 56 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown point was located 210 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight overrun but still within a manageable distance. The touchdown speed of 37 knots was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -36 feet per minute (fpm) was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots at 227°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 knots, which further contributed to the smooth landing. The total landing distance of 969 meters was 53% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control during the landing phase.

Overall, the landing of the Sirius aircraft at EGPE Inverness Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases.
