The flight began with an enroute climb from Inverness Airport, located in the Highland region of Scotland. The aircraft, a Carenado B55, took off from a height of 36 feet above sea level and climbed to 1,016 feet in just one minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This rapid ascent was a testament to the aircraft's impressive climb capabilities.
As the aircraft continued on its journey, it entered a level cruise phase, where it maintained a steady altitude for three minutes while covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. This phase of the flight allowed the pilot to assess the aircraft's performance and make any necessary adjustments.
The final approach to runway 23 at Inverness Airport was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 243.0 degrees at an altitude of 468 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway. The pilot successfully executed a smooth landing, with a threshold speed of 97 knots and a touchdown speed of 84 knots. The touchdown distance was also impressive, covering a distance of 414 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a gentle wind of 3 knots from 217 degrees. The crosswind was minimal, at just 1 knot, while the headwind was 3 knots. These conditions contributed to a perfect touchdown rate of -50 feet per minute and a runway touchdown alignment that was spot on.
However, the post-landing rollout was not as smooth, with the aircraft deviating from the centerline by a significant 2,008.2 meters. This excessive misalignment was a notable aspect of the flight, and one that the pilot would need to address in future landings.
In terms of overall performance, the flight was a success, with the aircraft covering a total distance of 8 nautical miles in 10 minutes and using 163 kilograms of fuel. The pilot's skills and the aircraft's capabilities had come together to deliver a safe and efficient flight.

The Carenado B55 aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in the landing procedure. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 243.0° at 1 nm and 468 ft above ground level (agl), indicating a precise and controlled descent. The aircraft touched down on runway 23, which has a length of 1,814 meters, with a good threshold height, threshold speed of 97 kt, and touchdown distance of 414 meters.
The touchdown speed of 84 kt was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -50 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, suggesting that the pilot maintained a steady and accurate course during the final approach. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20°C and wind speed of 3 kt at 217°, were relatively calm, contributing to a stable and predictable landing.
However, the aircraft's rollout alignment after touchdown was excessively misaligned by 2,008.2 meters from the centerline. This suggests that the pilot may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, potentially due to factors such as overcorrection or underestimation of the aircraft's response to the controls. Despite this, the total landing distance of 1,320 meters, which accounts for 73% of the runway length, was still within an acceptable range.
Overall, the landing was successful, but the rollout alignment issue highlights an area for improvement in the pilot's skills and decision-making during the landing phase. With further practice and refinement, the pilot can work to eliminate this issue and achieve even more precise and controlled landings.
