Work on the flare
Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

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 785 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departure from EGPE Inverness Airport commenced with a roll on runway 23, utilizing 332 meters, or 18% of the available runway length. The aircraft accelerated to a liftoff speed of 65 knots, clearing the ground with a minimal margin. Local conditions at the time of departure featured a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a negligible wind of 1 knot from 270 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began ascending from an initial altitude of 587 feet above sea level to 440 feet, a net increase of 147 feet over a period of 2 minutes. This climb phase covered a distance of 3 nautical miles, positioning the aircraft for the final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The approach was initiated from a heading of 54.0 degrees, approximately 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold, at an altitude of 407 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 05 was executed with precision, with the touchdown point located 348 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 65 knots was within the target range, and the touchdown rate of -47 feet per minute was optimal. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, indicating a high degree of control and stability during the final stages of the approach. Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out in perfect alignment, utilizing 66% of the available runway length. The total landing distance was 1,201 meters, and the aircraft consumed a total of -2 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which covered a distance of 6 nautical miles and lasted 6 minutes.
The final approach to runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport from the south west was executed with precision, with the aircraft Sierra C24R maintaining a heading of 54.0° at 1 nm and 407 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, coming in at 82 kt. Despite this, the touchdown characteristics were good, with a speed of 65 kt and a perfect touchdown rate of -47 fpm.
The touchdown point was 348 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, was still within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the final stages of the approach. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle tailwind of 3 kt at 226°. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,201 m was 66% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating a high level of control and precision during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of skill and precision, resulting in a score of 96.1%.
