Landing Summary

The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, showcasing exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, aligning itself with the runway's heading of 232.0° at a mere 0 nm and 93 ft above ground level (agl). This precise control allowed the pilot to maintain a stable and controlled descent throughout the final approach.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a smooth and controlled landing, with a threshold speed of 76 kt being achieved. The touchdown distance of 271 m was also within acceptable limits, indicating that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and speed. Furthermore, the touchdown speed of 58 kt was well within the recommended range, and the touchdown rate of -59 fpm was excellent, signifying a gentle and controlled impact with the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt from 270°. This minimal wind allowed the pilot to maintain a stable approach and landing, with a negligible crosswind and headwind component. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had accurately aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline.

The total landing distance of 516 m, which accounted for only 28% of the runway length, was impressive, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's speed and descent. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the landing roll. Overall, this landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience, and the Beechcraft A36 Bonanza's capabilities as a reliable and versatile aircraft.
