This flight was conducted in a Cessna C172 aircraft, starting with an enroute climb from Inverness Airport in Scotland. The climb began at an altitude of 37 feet above sea level and reached 1,026 feet above sea level, an increase of 990 feet, in just 2 minutes while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft then transitioned into a level cruise, maintaining a steady altitude as it flew over Croy in the Highland region of Scotland. This cruise phase lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Inverness Airport for the final time, it began its descent from the north east, heading in a direction of 229.0 degrees at an altitude of 206 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a steady heading and altitude as it prepared for landing on runway 23, which is 1,814 meters long. The threshold height was reported to be good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 62 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's performance was impressive, with a touchdown speed of 43 knots and a touchdown rate of -154 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 3 knots from a direction of 226 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, with a speed of 0 knots.
The total landing distance was 503 meters, which is just 28% of the runway's length. This indicates that the aircraft landed smoothly and efficiently, with a perfect runway rollout alignment. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 5 minutes. Notably, the aircraft used a relatively small amount of fuel, with a consumption of -10 kilograms. Overall, this flight was a testament to the Cessna C172's capabilities and the pilot's skillful handling of the aircraft.

The Cessna C172 aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 23 was executed from the north east, with the aircraft heading 229.0° at 0 nm and 206 ft above ground level (agl). This precise approach angle and altitude ensured a smooth and controlled descent onto the runway.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft performed admirably, with a threshold speed of 62 kt being achieved. This speed is well within the recommended range for a safe landing, indicating that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and the runway's characteristics. The touchdown distance of 304 m was also satisfactory, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach.
The touchdown speed of 43 kt was another indicator of the pilot's skill, as it was well within the recommended range for a safe landing. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of -154 fpm was also good, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and avoided any excessive deceleration.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 20 °C and a wind speed of 3 kt at 226°. This minimal wind had a negligible impact on the aircraft's performance, with a crosswind of 0 kt and a headwind of 3 kt. The total landing distance of 503 m, which accounted for only 28% of the runway length, was a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance.
The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing process. Overall, this landing was a textbook example of safe and controlled flight, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skills and adherence to standard operating procedures.
