Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at EGPE Inverness Airport took less than a minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The Beechcraft A36 Bonanza then began its departure roll on runway 23, utilizing 507 meters, or 28% of the runway's length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 80 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff featured a temperature of 16°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

Following takeoff, the aircraft entered a right-hand traffic pattern, navigating a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 103 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind leg was completed in just 14 seconds, demonstrating the aircraft's agility and responsiveness. The pilot then executed a pattern downwind turn, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles at an angle of 55.6° to the runway. The subsequent downwind leg, base leg turn, and base leg were all completed with precision, with the final turn into the runway being executed in less than 1 nautical mile in 26 seconds.

The final approach to runway 23 was made from the north-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 241.0° at an altitude of 397 feet above ground level, approximately 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold. The landing was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 61 knots and a rate of -75 feet per minute, resulting in a touchdown distance of 404 meters, or 53% of the runway's length. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the subsequent rollout was also well-aligned, with the aircraft utilizing a total of 965 meters of runway. The total flight distance was 10 nautical miles, with the aircraft consuming 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight, which lasted approximately 8 minutes.
