Departure
Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 88 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.
What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 111 kt, 23 kt above the target liftoff speed.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 88 kt at liftoff

The 45-degrees-behind-the-wing cue assumes you can turn your head and use peripheral vision. Downwind spacing cues like "put the wingtip halfway up the strut" assume a fixed, known eyepoint. Neither survives a monitor unmodified. If you fly on a fixed monitor, stop pretending and fly a numbers-based circuit.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set and off the centreline.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 1,814 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 626 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport, where the aircraft, a Black Square B36TP Bonanza Professional with the registration N6060E, successfully took off after covering a distance of 170 meters, which accounted for just 9% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 111 knots.
As the aircraft entered the local airspace, it was noted that the temperature was 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots coming from a direction of 270 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 1 knot and a headwind of 2 knots. The pilot then initiated a left-hand pattern entry from runway 23, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nautical mile in 65 seconds.
The aircraft then proceeded to make a left-hand pattern crosswind turn, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in just 16 seconds. Following this, the pilot executed a pattern downwind turn, which spanned a distance of 1 nautical mile and involved a 45-degree angle to the runway, with a turn angle of 9.0 degrees.
The final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at 49.0 degrees and at an altitude of 250 feet above ground level, approximately 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 64 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed of 81 knots.
The touchdown point was located 187 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was recorded as excellent at -61 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots coming from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 1 knot and a tailwind of 2 knots.
The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 891 meters, which accounted for 49% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also very good. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 4 minutes, during which the aircraft used 5 kilograms of fuel.
The aircraft landing report details the performance of the Black Square B36TP Bonanza Professional, registration N6060E, on runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The pilot demonstrated a high level of proficiency, achieving a final approach score of 97.5%. The landing was undertaken from the south-west, with a heading of 49.0° at 1 nautical mile and 250 feet above ground level (agl).
The approach was executed successfully, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 64 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown point was 187 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
Weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 kt from 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 kt, and the tailwind was 2 kt, both of which were well within the acceptable limits. These conditions likely contributed to the smooth and stable landing.
The total landing distance was 891 meters, which represents 49% of the runway length. This is an acceptable distance, taking into account the aircraft's performance and the prevailing weather conditions. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process.
Overall, the report highlights the pilot's exceptional skills and ability to execute a smooth and stable landing in a variety of conditions. The aircraft's performance was also impressive, given its capabilities and the prevailing weather conditions.
