The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The Cessna 152 aircraft accelerated down the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 68 kt after a takeoff distance of 249 m, which accounted for 14% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 9 °C and a wind speed of 0 kt from a direction of 331 °, resulting in no crosswind or headwind.

After taking off, the pilot entered a left-hand pattern, navigating the aircraft around the airport. The entry into the pattern was smooth, with the aircraft covering a distance of 1 nm in 21 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was also executed efficiently, with the aircraft covering less than 1 nm in 33 seconds. The pilot then proceeded to the downwind leg, where the aircraft flew a distance of 2 nm at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 3 nm long and took 135 seconds to complete.

As the pilot began the base leg turn, the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nm at an angle of 41.5 degrees to the runway. The base leg was short, covering less than 1 nm in 28 seconds. The final turn into the runway was also brief, taking less than 1 nm in 32 seconds. The pilot then lined up for a final approach to runway 05 from the south-west, flying at a heading of 48.0 ° at an altitude of 282 ft above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nm from the runway.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 38 kt and a distance of 349 m, which was 30% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was excellent, at -69 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The pilot then rolled out of the landing, maintaining perfect alignment with the runway.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 10 nm, taking 12 minutes to complete, and used no fuel. The aircraft's performance was impressive, with a smooth and efficient flight from takeoff to landing.

Landing on runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport in the Cessna 152

Landing Score 97 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna 152 aircraft successfully landed at EGPE Inverness Airport, achieving a high score of 97.0%. The final approach to runway 05 was conducted from the south west, with a heading of 48.0° at 1 nautical mile and 282 feet above ground level (agl). This indicates a precise and controlled approach, with the pilot maintaining a steady course and altitude.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a good threshold height, which suggests that the pilot maintained a consistent descent rate and avoided any last-minute adjustments. The threshold speed of 59 knots was also within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had sufficient control over the aircraft's speed during the approach.

The touchdown distance of 349 meters was also within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 38 knots was well below the recommended maximum speed for landing. The most impressive aspect of the landing was the touchdown rate, which was an excellent -69 feet per minute (fpm). This indicates that the pilot had excellent control over the aircraft's descent and was able to touch down smoothly and safely.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 9°C and a wind speed of 0 knots from 331°. This meant that there was no crosswind or headwind to contend with, making the landing even more challenging. However, the pilot still managed to achieve a perfect runway rollout alignment, which suggests that they had excellent control over the aircraft's direction and speed during the landing.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and precision throughout the approach and landing phases. The total landing distance of 550 meters was only 30% of the runway length, which is a testament to the pilot's skill and experience.
