Departure
Arrival
Overhead Yde, a rural area in the Dutch province of Drenthe, the Antonov An-2 began its enroute level cruise phase, a brief 2-minute period that saw the aircraft ascend to a cruising altitude. During this time, it covered a distance of 3 nautical miles, a relatively short distance given the aircraft's capabilities. The cruise phase was a critical part of the flight, allowing the aircraft to reach a stable altitude and establish a steady airspeed.
As the Antonov An-2 began its final approach to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, it aligned itself with the runway from the south-west, tracking a heading of 47.0°. The aircraft's altitude was a mere 216 feet above ground level, a low altitude that required precise control to ensure a safe landing. The threshold speed, however, was above the target speed, reaching 72 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's weight or other factors. The touchdown point was 273 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed of 64 knots was slightly faster than ideal. Despite this, the touchdown rate was perfect, at -48 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 16°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from the west. The crosswind and tailwind components were negligible, at 1 knot each. The Antonov An-2's performance was impressive, considering the short distance of 3 nautical miles and the relatively short flight time of 3 minutes. The aircraft used a mere 4 kilograms of fuel during the flight, a testament to its efficiency. Overall, the flight was a successful demonstration of the Antonov An-2's capabilities in a variety of conditions.

The final approach to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the south west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 47.0° at 0 nm and 216 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, reaching 72 kt, which may have been due to the aircraft's weight or configuration.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it became apparent that the touchdown speed was fast, at 64 kt, which may have resulted in a slightly higher than ideal touchdown rate. Fortunately, the touchdown rate was still within acceptable limits, at -48 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft remaining centered on the runway. The touchdown point was 273 m beyond the touchdown zone, which may have been due to the aircraft's speed and the pilot's decision to extend the landing.
The rollout phase was uneventful, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment as it decelerated. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component. Overall, the landing was considered satisfactory, with a score of 93.6% reflecting the minor deviations from the ideal touchdown speed and point.
