Landing on runway 23 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the DA40-NG

Landing Score 92.07 %

Landing Summary

The DA40-NG 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 230.0° at an altitude of 243 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway. This approach was likely a standard procedure, taking advantage of the prevailing wind conditions to minimize the impact of crosswinds.

Upon reaching the runway, the aircraft touched down smoothly at a speed of 55 knots, which is well within the acceptable range for a safe landing. The touchdown distance of 327 meters was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the descent. The threshold height at 72 feet agl was slightly above the target, but this did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component, allowing the pilot to focus on maintaining a stable approach. The headwind component was also minimal, which further contributed to a smooth landing.

The total landing distance of 580 meters, which accounts for 32% of the runway length, is a testament to the pilot's skill and control. This indicates that the aircraft was able to decelerate efficiently after touchdown, with the runway rollout alignment being perfect. Overall, this landing demonstrates a high level of proficiency in the DA40-NG aircraft, with the pilot executing a smooth and controlled approach and landing.
