Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Grumman AA-5A Traveler began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 58 kt in a distance of 577 meters, which represented 23% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a swift and efficient turn, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nm in 99 seconds. Subsequent turns and legs of the pattern were executed with similar precision, with the downwind turn covering a distance of 2 nm at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, and the downwind leg requiring just 11 seconds to complete. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 52.0° at an altitude of 590 ft above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nm from the runway threshold.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 38 kt and a distance of 302 meters, representing 24% of the available runway length. The touchdown rate was an impressive -74 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned from the centerline by 3.2 meters. Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out in a very good alignment, and the total landing distance was 587 meters. The flight itself was relatively short, covering a total distance of 4 nm and consuming approximately 1 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Grumman AA-5A Traveler touched down on runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 590 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold, aligning with the runway heading of 52.0°. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft exhibited good characteristics, with a speed of 38 knots and a touchdown rate of -74 feet per minute, indicating a controlled and gentle descent. The touchdown distance of 302 meters was within acceptable limits, and the threshold speed of 63 knots was well managed. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centreline, which may require attention during future landings.

The aircraft's rollout was executed with precision, with the aircraft remaining well-aligned with the centreline. The total landing distance of 587 meters, accounting for 24% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 270°, contributed to a stable and predictable landing environment.
