See Arrival Touchdown

Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

Flight narrative

Departure from Groningen Airport Eelde, EHGG, commenced with a roll down runway 05, utilizing 30% of the available 2,493-meter runway. The Grumman AA-5A Cheetah accelerated to liftoff speed of 69 knots, clearing the ground in a relatively short distance of 736 meters. Under local conditions of 20°C temperature and a 3-knot tailwind from 227°, the aircraft transitioned smoothly into the climb phase.

Following a brief enroute level cruise at 1 minute and 1 nautical mile overhead Yde, the aircraft began its descent towards EHGG. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, aligning with heading 229.0° and descending to an altitude of 173 feet above ground level. The landing on runway 23 was executed with a threshold speed of 96 knots, resulting in a touchdown point that utilized more than 50% of the available runway. The touchdown speed of 51 knots and a descent rate of -22 feet per minute were within acceptable parameters. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.6 meters from the centerline.

The post-landing rollout was characterized by good alignment, and the aircraft utilized 70% of the available runway, covering a total distance of 1,738 meters. The flight, which covered a total distance of 4 nautical miles, utilized a fuel quantity of -2 kilograms, indicating a slight fuel gain during the flight. The overall performance of the Grumman AA-5A Cheetah during this flight was satisfactory, with the aircraft demonstrating its capabilities in a variety of conditions.
