Pattern Downwind Turn

The 45-degrees-behind-the-wing cue assumes you can turn your head and use peripheral vision. Downwind spacing cues like "put the wingtip halfway up the strut" assume a fixed, known eyepoint. Neither survives a monitor unmodified. If you fly on a fixed monitor, stop pretending and fly a numbers-based circuit.

Flight narrative

Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Sting S4 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 05, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 47 kt in a distance of 732 meters, which accounted for 29% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from a direction of 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of agility, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 17 seconds. The subsequent downwind turn, which covered a distance of 3 nm at an angle of 98.5° to the runway, showcased the aircraft's responsiveness to control inputs. The final approach to runway 23, which was initiated from a heading of 231.0° at an altitude of 231 ft above ground level, was characterized by a smooth and controlled descent.

The landing itself was notable for its precision, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 35 kt and a touchdown distance of 321 meters, which accounted for 16% of the available runway length. The touchdown rate of -29 fpm was also within optimal limits, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. Following the landing, the aircraft rolled out to a stop, using a total of 394 meters of runway. The flight, which covered a total distance of 11 nm, consumed a total of -69 kg of fuel and lasted for approximately 8 minutes.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down smoothly on runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The approach quality was excellent, with a heading of 231.0° and an altitude of 231 feet above ground level (agl) at 0 nautical miles from the threshold. The pilot maintained a steady descent, and the threshold speed of 58 knots was significantly above the target, indicating a high degree of control and precision.

As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown characteristics were impressive, with a speed of 35 knots and a rate of descent of -29 feet per minute (fpm). The touchdown distance of 321 meters was good, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind of 1 knot at 270°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.

The rollout phase was equally impressive, with perfect alignment on the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 394 meters, which accounted for only 16% of the runway length, was a testament to the pilot's skill and control. Overall, the landing was scored at 98.6%, reflecting the high level of proficiency and precision demonstrated by the pilot.
