The Cessna 172 taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the take-off roll. The aircraft used 1,036 m of runway, representing 42 % of the available length, and became airborne at a liftoff speed of 105 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 269°, giving a 1 kt head-wind component and a 1 kt cross-wind component.

During the approach the pilot entered a left-hand pattern for runway 23, completing the entry and the subsequent cross-wind segment each in less than 1 nm and 23 seconds. The downwind turn covered 2 nm with a 78.8° angle to the runway, followed by a downwind leg of 2 nm flown in 60 seconds. The base-leg turn also spanned 2 nm with a 49.5° angle to the runway, after which the base leg was less than 1 nm and lasted 26 seconds. The final turn was completed in less than 1 nm in 22 seconds, after which the aircraft established the final approach on a heading of 228.0° from the north-east, at 1 nm and 348 ft AGL.

The aircraft landed on runway 23, whose total length is 2,493 m. The reported threshold speed was 84 kt, which was noted as excessively high. Touchdown occurred 296 m down the runway at a speed of 63 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 40 fpm and perfect runway alignment. Weather at the time of landing remained 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 269°, providing the same 1 kt head-wind and 1 kt cross-wind components as earlier.

Rollout was completed with a total landing distance of 587 m, representing 24 % of the runway, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment throughout the rollout.

In total the flight covered 9 nm, required 5 (unspecified units) of time, and consumed 2 kg of fuel.

Landing on runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde in the Cessna 172

Landing Score 93.61 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna 172 commenced its final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the north-east, tracking a heading of 228.0° at 1 nm and 348 ft agl. Local weather reported a temperature of 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 269°, with a 1 kt crosswind and a 1 kt headwind. The aircraft’s overall landing score was 93.6 %.

At the threshold the height was good, but the threshold speed was noted as excessively high at 84 kt. Runway 23 measures 2,493 m in length.

Touchdown occurred 296 m down the runway, a distance described as good, while the touchdown speed of 63 kt was a little fast. The vertical speed was perfect at minus 40 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The total landing distance recorded was 587 m, representing 24 % of the runway, and rollout alignment remained perfect.

Reduce the threshold and touchdown speeds to bring them within more typical margins for a Cessna 172; moderating these speeds will improve energy management without affecting the otherwise strong performance reflected in the 93.6 % score.
