Departure from Yde (Provincie Drenthe, The Netherlands) commenced with an enroute climb that elevated the Grumman AA‑5A Traveler from 18 ft ASL to 828 ft ASL, an increase of 810 ft achieved over 2 minutes while covering 2 nm. The aircraft then entered an enroute level cruise, maintaining altitude for another 2 minutes and traversing 4 nm before initiating the final approach to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde. During the approach the aircraft maintained a heading of 54.0° at 1 nm from the threshold, descending to 328 ft AGL.

A go‑around was executed at 17 ft AGL, after which the aircraft successfully landed on runway 05. The runway length of 2,493 m provided ample margin, with the touchdown occurring at 319 m from the threshold and a touchdown speed of 38 kt. The touchdown rate of –94 fpm was excellent, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 m from the centreline. Local weather conditions were 20 °C with a wind of 3 kt from 228°, resulting in a crosswind of 0 kt and a tailwind component of 3 kt. The total landing distance was 437 m, representing 18 % of the available runway, and the runway rollout alignment was very good.

The entire flight covered a total distance of 12 nm and required 9 minutes of flight time. Fuel consumption amounted to –11 kg, indicating efficient fuel usage for the mission profile.
