The flight began with the aircraft, Sirius, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGPE Inverness Airport. This short taxiing process took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Once at the runway, the departure roll commenced on runway 23, with the takeoff distance being 216 meters, which is 12% of the runway's total length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 60 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269 degrees. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, both of which were 1 knot. Following the takeoff, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern, which it completed in a remarkably short time. The left-hand pattern entry from runway 23 took less than 1 nautical mile to cover in just 14 seconds. The left-hand pattern crosswind leg was slightly longer, taking 21 seconds to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

As the aircraft continued its pattern, it performed a downwind turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile at an angle of 86.9 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 3 nautical miles long and took 143 seconds to complete. The final approach to runway 23 was made from the north-east, with the aircraft heading 229.0 degrees at an altitude of 102 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 23 was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 38 knots. The touchdown distance was 303 meters, which is a good distance considering the runway's length of 1,814 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly below the target speed, but the touchdown rate was excellent at -67 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 10 knots at 217 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 10 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft performed well, with a total landing distance of 593 meters, which is 33% of the runway's length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration.

In conclusion, the flight was a successful one, with the aircraft performing well in various phases of flight. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight used 44 kilograms of fuel. Overall, the flight was a testament to the aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's skill.

Landing Summary

The aircraft, identified as Sirius, successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its landing maneuver. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, aligning with the runway 23 at a heading of 229.0°, at an altitude of 102 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited a good threshold height, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 44 knots, which may be attributed to the pilot's cautious approach. Nevertheless, the touchdown distance of 303 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 38 knots was also satisfactory.

The landing rate of -67 feet per minute (fpm) was exceptional, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 2°C and a wind speed of 10 knots from 217°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 10 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly below-target threshold speed.

The total landing distance of 593 meters was 33% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot was able to maintain a high level of control and precision throughout the landing maneuver. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway centerline after touchdown.

Overall, the landing of the Sirius aircraft at EGPE Inverness Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating a high level of skill and proficiency in navigating the aircraft through the final approach and landing phases. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, and the landing was completed within acceptable limits.
