The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05 at EGPE Inverness Airport. The Cessna C172 aircraft accelerated down the runway, reaching a liftoff speed of 70 kt after a takeoff distance of 369 m, which accounted for 20% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt from a direction of 274 °, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind.

After taking off, the pilot entered a left-hand pattern, navigating the aircraft in a circular path around the airport. The entry into the pattern was swift, with the aircraft covering a distance of less than 1 nm in just 20 seconds. As the pilot continued with the pattern, the aircraft encountered a crosswind from the runway 05 direction, which was also minimal, taking 36 seconds to cover a distance of less than 1 nm.

The pilot then initiated a pattern downwind turn, steering the aircraft towards the runway while maintaining a 45-degree angle to the runway. This maneuver required a distance of 1 nm and an angle of 72.5 °. Following the downwind turn, the pilot flew the downwind leg, covering a distance of 2 nm in 96 seconds.

As the pilot began the base leg turn, the aircraft covered a distance of 1 nm while maintaining a 45-degree angle to the runway, with an angle of 31.6 °. The base leg itself was short, taking less than 1 nm in 29 seconds to complete. The final turn into the runway was also brief, requiring less than 1 nm in 11 seconds to complete.

The final approach to runway 05 was made from the south-west, with the aircraft heading 48.0 ° at an altitude of 1 nm and 309 ft above ground level. The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down 116 m beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 52 kt, which was within the target range, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -60 fpm.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the runway rollout alignment was also flawless. The total landing distance was 852 m, accounting for 47% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were identical to those at takeoff, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt from a direction of 273 °.

The flight was completed with a total distance of 7 nm, taking 7 minutes to cover this distance. The aircraft used 2 kg of fuel during the flight, indicating a relatively efficient operation. Overall, the flight was executed smoothly and safely, with the pilot demonstrating excellent control and navigation skills throughout the flight.
