See Arrival Approach

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Grumman AA-5A Cheetah lifted off runway 23 after a takeoff distance of 390 meters, which accounted for 16% of the available runway length. The aircraft achieved liftoff speed of 62 knots, marking the beginning of its climb. Under local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and a negligible wind of 1 knot from 270°, the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, ascending from 1,003 feet above sea level to 1,855 feet in a mere 3 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.

As the aircraft continued its climb, it reached a cruising altitude, and the pilot initiated the final approach to runway 05 at Groningen Airport Eelde. The aircraft descended from 1,821 feet above ground level, aligning itself with the runway from the southwest, heading 52.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles. The pilot maintained a steady approach, and the aircraft touched down on the runway with a touchdown distance of 267 meters, well within the available runway length of 2,493 meters. The touchdown speed was 37 knots, and the aircraft's descent rate was an impressive -85 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.

The flight concluded with a total distance of 9 nautical miles, covering a flight time of 7 minutes and consuming 2 kilograms of fuel. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, with a slight deviation from the centerline of 4.1 meters during touchdown. The local weather conditions remained consistent throughout the flight, with a temperature of 15°C and a negligible wind of 1 knot from 270°. The pilot's skill and the aircraft's capabilities ensured a safe and efficient flight, meeting the requirements of the operation.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the south west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 52.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,821 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 56 knots. The aircraft touched down smoothly at a speed of 37 knots, resulting in an excellent touchdown rate of -85 feet per minute.

The touchdown distance was good, with the aircraft coming to rest 267 meters down the runway. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, deviating by 4.1 meters. Despite this minor deviation, the overall touchdown characteristics were satisfactory, with the aircraft maintaining control and stability throughout the landing sequence. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.

The rollout phase was executed smoothly, with the aircraft slowing down rapidly to a stop. The centreline alignment was regained shortly after touchdown, and the aircraft came to a stop within a reasonable distance. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 95.5%. The minor deviation from the centreline and the slightly higher than ideal touchdown speed were the only notable factors that prevented the landing from being considered perfect.
