The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 300 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out. These checks are the approach's score.
At the 300 ft gate: centreline 2.2° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,490 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 396 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Phenom 300E took to the skies from runway 23, utilizing 861 meters, or 35% of the available runway length, to achieve liftoff at a speed of 131 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a negligible wind of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a minimal headwind component.
As the aircraft transitioned into the enroute climb phase, it began to ascend from an altitude of 995 feet above sea level to 2,276 feet, a vertical gain of 1,281 feet, within a mere 1 minute and covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. This rapid ascent was achieved while maintaining a steady climb rate. Subsequently, the aircraft entered the enroute descent phase, where it descended from 2,265 feet to 613 feet, a decrease of 1,652 feet, over a period of 4 minutes and covering 9 nautical miles. The aircraft then commenced its final approach to runway 23 at Groningen Airport Eelde, aligning itself with the runway from the north-east at a heading of 49.0° and an altitude of 600 feet above ground level.
The Phenom 300E executed a smooth landing on runway 23, utilizing 397 meters, or 16% of the available runway length, to come to a stop. The touchdown speed of 94 knots and touchdown rate of -155 feet per minute were both within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was also found to be very good. Following the landing, the aircraft utilized 799 meters, or 32% of the runway length, to come to a complete stop, with the runway rollout alignment being perfect. The total flight distance was 22 nautical miles, and the aircraft consumed 188 kilograms of fuel during the 9-minute flight.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was executed from the north east, with a heading of 49.0° at 1 nautical mile and 600 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 106 knots, well within the acceptable range. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, touching down at a speed of 94 knots, which was also within the desired parameters. The touchdown rate of -155 feet per minute was good, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft remained aligned with the centreline of the runway, demonstrating excellent runway touchdown alignment. The touchdown distance of 397 meters was also good, indicating a well-executed landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment, making the landing even more impressive. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each, further reducing the challenges faced by the pilot.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment with the centreline of the runway. The total landing distance of 799 meters, which accounted for 32% of the runway length, was well within the acceptable range. Overall, the landing was scored 99.2%, a testament to the pilot's skill and expertise in executing a precise and controlled landing.
