The final approach to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the south west was executed with a heading of 49.0° at 0 nm and 260 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height observed. However, the threshold speed was well above the target at 72 kt, indicating a slightly high approach speed.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it used more than 50% of the available runway, resulting in a long touchdown point. The touchdown speed of 45 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -26 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.8 m from the centreline, the rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating good control and coordination during the landing phase.
The total landing distance of 2,103 m was 84% of the runway length, indicating a relatively long landing distance. However, the overall score of 83.2% reflects a satisfactory performance, considering the slightly high approach speed and the long touchdown point. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a light tailwind of 3 kt, did not significantly impact the landing performance.
