The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
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 659 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a quick taxi from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft, a Carenado T-34 Bravo, was then cleared for departure from runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The takeoff distance was 258 meters, which accounted for 14% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 70 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time were a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 269 degrees.
As the aircraft lifted off the ground, it began its enroute climb, starting overhead EGPE Inverness Airport. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 989 feet above sea level to 923 feet, an increase of 66 feet in just one minute, and covered a distance of less than a nautical mile. The climb was a smooth and efficient one, with the aircraft making good progress.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent, starting overhead Croy in the Highland region of Scotland. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 907 feet above sea level to 118 feet, a decrease of 789 feet in just two minutes, and covered a distance of one nautical mile. The descent was a controlled and gradual one, with the aircraft making a smooth transition to the final approach.
The final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 229.0 degrees at an altitude of 92 feet above ground level. The landing was made on the runway, with the touchdown point being 217 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 54 knots, and the touchdown rate was perfect at -13 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 9.1 meters.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 20°C, with a wind speed of 3 knots at 223 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but the headwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 974 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 11.7 meters.
In conclusion, the flight was a smooth and efficient one, with the aircraft making good progress throughout. The landing was made with a perfect touchdown rate, but the runway touchdown position and rollout alignment were slightly misaligned from the centreline. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight used no fuel.
The Carenado T-34 Bravo [STD] aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its pilot. The final approach was initiated from the north east, heading 229.0° at 0 nm and 92 ft above ground level (agl). This approach was likely a visual approach, given the pilot's ability to maintain a good threshold height and adhere to the threshold speed of 83 kt.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 217 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. The touchdown speed of 54 kt was well within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -13 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 9.1 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight miscalculation of the wind or a minor deviation in the approach.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle headwind of 3 kt at 223°. The crosswind was negligible, at 0 kt, which made the landing even more manageable. The total landing distance of 974 m was 54% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 11.7 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight overcorrection or a minor deviation in the rollout.
Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated a high level of skill and control. The minor deviations in the touchdown position and rollout alignment were likely due to minor miscalculations or deviations, but the pilot's ability to maintain a good threshold height, adhere to the threshold speed, and achieve a perfect touchdown rate were all impressive. With a score of 92.5%, this landing was a testament to the pilot's expertise and proficiency in the Carenado T-34 Bravo [STD] aircraft.
