Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Cessna 400 Corvalis initiated its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 90 kt in 1,177 meters, which represented 47% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off into a local temperature of 9 °C, with a wind of 13 kt at 353 °, resulting in a crosswind component of 11 kt and a tailwind component of 7 kt.

Following a standard right-hand pattern entry from runway 23, the aircraft completed a series of turns and legs, demonstrating precise control and adherence to standard procedures. The pattern downwind turn, for instance, was executed with a distance of 1 nm and an angle to the runway of 45 degrees, while the final turn was completed in 299 seconds over a distance of 9 nm. The aircraft then aligned itself for a final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, descending to an altitude of 183 ft agl at a heading of 231.0 °.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down 166 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 52 kt and a rate of 6 fpm. The touchdown speed was slightly below the target, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 958 meters, representing 38% of the available runway length. Following a short taxiing period of less than 1 minute, the aircraft came to a stop, having covered a distance of less than 1 nm. The flight, which covered a total distance of 14 nm, consumed 14 kg of fuel and lasted approximately 9 minutes.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the north east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 231.0° at 0 nm and 183 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 73 kt. This slight reduction in speed was likely a result of the tailwind component of 7 kt, which was present during the landing.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it did so at a speed of 52 kt, which was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of 6 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The touchdown point was 166 m beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance and suggests a well-executed landing. The total landing distance of 958 m was 38% of the runway length, which is a respectable figure considering the wind conditions.

The rollout phase was also executed flawlessly, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 9 °C and winds of 13 kt at 353°, presented a moderate challenge, but the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance were more than adequate to overcome these conditions. Overall, the landing was a success, with a score of 97.6% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot.
