What went well

Touched down at -110 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 408 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 0.50 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold speed at 68 kt was well below target, take care not to stall. at 7 %, −2.59 points
Pattern Downwind Turn — Angle to runway (45 degrees) 76.1 °. at 0 %, −1.45 points
Pattern Crosswind — Heading -14.3 ° at 38 %, −1.34 points

Top opportunity

Keep the approach speed on target

Arrival Landing

Next time

Add power on short final to hold 129 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 68 kt against a target of 129 kt, below reference speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 129 kt down to the threshold.

Departure

Hold the nose until reaching 85 kt before rotating.

What happened: Rotation began at 80 kt, 5 kt before the 85 kt target.

Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

Flight narrative

The Gabriel 420 Racing departed EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from runway 23. The takeoff roll measured 345 m, which is 14 % of the runway length, and the aircraft became airborne at a liftoff speed of 80 kt. Reported weather conditions were temperature 11 °C, wind 2 kt from 169°, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt head-wind component.

During the left-hand pattern the aircraft entered the circuit from runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 47 seconds. The subsequent left-hand crosswind leg was also less than 1 nm and lasted 12 seconds. The downwind turn spanned 1 nm with an angle to the runway of 76.2°, followed by a downwind leg of 2 nm completed in 60 seconds. The base turn covered 1 nm at an angle of 49.3°, after which the base leg was less than 1 nm and took 21 seconds. The final turn was less than 1 nm and required 20 seconds. The final approach to runway 23 was flown from the north-east on a heading of 231.0°, at 0 nm distance and 193 ft AGL, under the same temperature 11 °C and wind 2 kt from 169° (1 kt cross-wind, 1 kt head-wind).

Landing was executed on runway 23, whose length is 2,493 m. The threshold speed was 69 kt. Touchdown occurred 411 m down the runway at a speed of 48 kt, with a descent rate of minus 99 fpm and perfect runway-touchdown alignment. The total landing distance recorded was 595 m, representing 24 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was also perfect.

In total the flight covered 5 nm, required 7 minutes, and consumed 2 kg of fuel.
