What went well

Touched down at -81 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 283 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 1.77 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Departure Roll — Rotation speed was 46 kt at 81 %, −0.43 points
Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was a little below target at 59 kt at 91 %, −0.23 points

Next time

Departure

Hold the nose down until the speed reaches 58 kt, then rotate.

What happened: You started the rotation at 46 kt, 12 kt before the 58 kt rotation speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 58 kt at rotation

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Add power on short final to hold 66 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 59 kt against a target of 66 kt, below reference speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 66 kt down to the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Flight narrative

The Cessna Skyhawk taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll; the aircraft lifted off after a take-off run of 391 m, representing 16 % of the runway, at a liftoff speed of 60 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 270°, a cross-component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 2 kt.

During the left-hand pattern the aircraft entered from runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 19 seconds, then proceeded through the crosswind leg for another sub-1 nm segment in 19 seconds. The downwind turn spanned 1 nm with an angle to the runway of 89.8°, followed by a downwind leg of 2 nm completed in 64 seconds, and a base-leg turn of 1 nm with a 23.6° angle to the runway, all conducted on runway 23.

On final approach the aircraft descended from 404 ft AGL to 59 ft AGL in 44 seconds and satisfied the stabilisation gates before touchdown.

Touchdown occurred on runway 23, whose length is 2 490 m; the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 59 kt. The aircraft landed 280 m from the threshold at 42 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 81 fpm and excellent runway-centerline alignment. Weather at the time was 20 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 257°, a cross-wind of 1 kt and a head-wind of 2 kt. The total landing roll measured 410 m, equivalent to 16 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was perfect.

In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 7 nm, required 5 minutes, and consumed 1 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde descended from 404 ft AGL to 59 ft AGL in 44 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.

At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was a little below target at 59 kt.

Touchdown occurred 280 m down the runway at a speed of 42 kt, a rate of minus 81 fpm, and alignment was very good.

The rollout covered a total of 410 m, representing 16 % of the 2 490 m runway, and runway-rollout alignment was perfect.

With a score of 99.3 % the landing was excellent; refining speed control to meet the exact threshold speed target will eliminate the slight underspeed and further tighten the already strong performance.
