Departing from the north-east, the Grumman AA-5A Cheetah began its enroute climb from a low altitude of 16 feet above sea level, gradually increasing to 18 feet asl in under a minute, covering a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This initial climb phase set the stage for a smooth and controlled ascent.

As the aircraft approached Groningen Airport Eelde, a go-around procedure was initiated on runway 23, with the aircraft flying at a low altitude of 5 feet above ground level. Following this, a final approach was conducted from the north-east, aligning with the runway heading of 231.0° at an altitude of 213 feet above ground level, approximately 0 nautical miles from the threshold. The landing was executed successfully, with a threshold height that met the desired standards. The aircraft touched down at a speed of 42 knots, with a touchdown distance of 402 meters, well within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -50 feet per minute was also optimal, and the runway touchdown alignment was precise.

The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing. The total landing distance of 590 meters, accounting for 24% of the runway length, was satisfactory. Following the landing, the aircraft rolled out perfectly aligned with the runway, demonstrating excellent control and stability. The total flight distance of 4 nautical miles was achieved in 4 minutes, with a fuel consumption of -1 kilogram, indicating a slight fuel saving during the flight.
