The Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen departed from a location near Yde, Provincie Drenthe, The Netherlands, initiating its enroute climb phase. The aircraft rapidly ascended from an initial altitude of 19 feet above sea level to 1,002 feet, a vertical gain of 982 feet, within a mere 1 minute. This climb phase was completed while covering a distance of approximately 2 nautical miles. Following the climb, the aircraft transitioned into its enroute level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude for 2 minutes as it covered a further 4 nautical miles.

As the Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen began its final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, it was positioned 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold at an altitude of 463 feet above ground level, heading 231.0°. The aircraft maintained a steady heading and altitude until touchdown, with a good threshold height and a touchdown distance of 271 meters. However, the touchdown speed of 31 knots was slightly higher than optimal, resulting in a touchdown rate of -74 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind, contributed to a smooth landing.

The Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen landed on the 2,492-meter-long runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, with a total landing distance of 317 meters, accounting for 13% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating a well-executed landing. The aircraft's performance was notable, with a total flight distance of 6 nautical miles covered in 5 minutes, and an impressive fuel efficiency, with no fuel consumed during the flight.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was executed from the north east, heading 231.0° at 1 nm and 463 ft above ground level. The approach quality was good, with a stable and controlled descent. The aircraft touched down on the runway threshold at a height that was considered satisfactory.

However, the threshold speed was slightly higher than desired at 48 kt, indicating a slight over-control during the flare. The touchdown distance of 271 m was good, but the touchdown speed of 31 kt was a little fast, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a more gradual descent. The touchdown rate of -74 fpm was excellent, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline.

The rollout phase was characterized by perfect alignment, with the aircraft remaining on the centerline throughout. The total landing distance of 317 m was 13% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. Overall, the landing was considered to be of high quality, with a score of 97.0%.
