Departing from the general area of Yde in the Provincie Drenthe, The Netherlands, the Grumman AA-5A Cheetah initiated its enroute climb, rapidly ascending from an initial altitude of 19 feet above sea level to 980 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes. This impressive climb rate of 961 feet per minute allowed the aircraft to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles, setting the stage for a smooth and efficient flight.

As the aircraft leveled off, it entered a 2-minute enroute level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude and covering a further 4 nautical miles. This phase of the flight allowed the pilot to assess the aircraft's performance and make any necessary adjustments before commencing the final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde. The approach was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft tracking a heading of 231.0° at an altitude of 140 feet above ground level.

The landing itself was characterized by a good threshold height, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 45 knots. The touchdown distance of 303 meters was also within acceptable limits, and the touchdown rate of -42 feet per minute was perfect. The runway touchdown alignment was spot on, and the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20°C and a gentle headwind of 3 knots, contributed to a smooth and controlled landing. The total landing distance of 448 meters, which accounted for just 18% of the runway length, further underscored the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. Following the landing, the aircraft rolled out in perfect alignment, and the total flight distance of 6 nautical miles was achieved with a fuel consumption of -7 kilograms.
