Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport from the north east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 229.0° at 0 nm and 139 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 48 kt, well within the acceptable range. As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it touched down at a speed of 31 kt, which was also within the desired parameters. The touchdown distance of 277 m was good, and the touchdown rate of -55 fpm was exceptional, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.

The aircraft's centreline alignment during the touchdown was perfect, with the runway touchdown alignment spot on. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 kt each, further facilitating a smooth touchdown. The total landing distance of 354 m, which accounted for only 20% of the runway length, was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance.

The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment with the centreline.
