The aircraft taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll, achieving a take-off distance of 550 m, which represented 22 % of the available runway. Liftoff occurred at 103 kt. Ambient conditions were 12 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 169°, resulting in a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind component.

During the approach phase the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 105 seconds. It then proceeded through a left-hand cross-wind segment of less than 1 nm in 16 seconds, followed by a downwind turn that spanned 4 nm with a 45° angle to the runway and a measured turn angle of 3.6°. The downwind leg itself was less than 1 nm and was completed in 12 seconds. The final approach to runway 05 was flown from the south-west on a heading of 44.0°, at 3 nm and 1,118 ft AGL.

The aircraft landed on runway 05, whose length is 2,493 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 105 kt, which was higher than typical. Touchdown occurred 199 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 82 kt and a vertical speed of minus 64 fpm. Alignment on touchdown was very good. Local weather at landing was 11 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 169°, giving a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind component.

Rollout covered a distance of 1,349 m, representing 54 % of the runway length, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment throughout the ground run.

In total the flight covered 8 nm, required approximately 6 minutes, and consumed 2 kg of fuel.

Landing on runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde in the Velocity XL

Landing Score 95.26 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft Velocity XL, scored 95.3%, made a final approach to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the south-west, tracking a heading of 44.0 deg at 3 nm and 1,118 ft agl. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because flaps were not set. Local weather was temperature 11 C, wind 1 kt from 169 deg, with a 1 kt crosswind and no headwind.

At threshold the height was good, but the threshold speed was excessively high at 105 kt.

Touchdown occurred 199 m beyond the touchdown zone. Touchdown speed was 82 kt and judged good, the vertical rate was minus 64 fpm and rated excellent, and runway touchdown alignment was very good.

The aircraft used a total landing distance of 1,349 m, representing 54 % of the 2,493 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.

To improve future performance, ensure flaps are selected well before the 1,000 ft gate to achieve a stable approach and allow a lower threshold speed. Maintaining the correct flap configuration will also help keep touchdown parameters within optimal limits.
