Departing from Inverness Airport (EGPE), the DA40-NG aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 69 kt in a distance of 427 m, which accounted for 24% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of maneuverability, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 16 seconds. The subsequent downwind turn, base leg turn, and final turn were executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent angle to the runway and adhering to the standard traffic pattern configuration. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 229.0° at an altitude of 190 ft above ground level.

The landing itself was characterized by a good threshold height, threshold speed, and touchdown speed, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 60 kt and a rate of -156 fpm. The touchdown distance of 197 m was also within acceptable limits, accounting for 27% of the available runway length. Following touchdown, the aircraft maintained perfect runway rollout alignment, bringing the total landing distance to 481 m. The flight itself was relatively short, covering a total distance of 6 nm and consuming 1 kg of fuel, with the entire operation taking approximately 4 minutes to complete.
