The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a score of 96.7%. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north east, with a heading of 229.0° at 1 nm and 285 ft above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down before the threshold, which is a common occurrence in many landings, but it's essential to note that the touchdown speed was slightly higher than ideal at 72 kt.
Despite the slightly fast touchdown speed, the aircraft's touchdown rate was perfect at -36 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and attention to detail. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 2 kt at 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 1 kt and a headwind of 2 kt, which had a minimal impact on the landing.
Upon further analysis, it's clear that the pilot made adjustments to achieve a more optimal touchdown speed, as the touchdown speed at 52 kt was deemed good. The touchdown rate was also excellent at -66 fpm, indicating a very smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the total landing distance of 681 m was only 38% of the runway length, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and descent rate effectively.
The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and attention to detail. However, there is still room for improvement, particularly in terms of achieving a more optimal touchdown speed.
