What went well

Touched down at -148 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 46 ft and 85 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 2.33 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Pattern Crosswind — Heading -49.7 ° at 0 %, −7.50 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 0 %, −1.67 points
Arrival Final 1 — Heading variation -0.3 ° at 0 %, −1.44 points

Next time

Departure

Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 81 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.

What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 93 kt, 12 kt above the target liftoff speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 81 kt at liftoff

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Keep the back pressure coming through the flare so the sink does not return at 157 fpm.

What happened: The flare arrested the sink, but then the sink returned before touchdown.

Watch for: Watch the VSI in the flare and keep arrested sink from returning before touchdown at 148 fpm.

See Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the GA-8 Airvan Commuter Cargopod began its takeoff roll on runway 05, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 93 kt. The aircraft utilized 77% of the available runway length, covering a distance of 1,911 meters before lifting off into the air. Local conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle tailwind of 3 kt from a direction of 223 °.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated its agility by completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 39 seconds. The subsequent crosswind leg was similarly efficient, with the aircraft covering the distance in 27 seconds. The final approach to runway 23 was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft descending to an altitude of 393 ft above ground level (agl) at a distance of 1 nm from the runway threshold. The approach was characterized by a heading of 205.0 °, and the aircraft touched down smoothly at a speed of 56 kt, with a touchdown rate of -120 fpm.

The landing was deemed successful, with the touchdown point located 511 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect. The aircraft utilized 47% of the available runway length, covering a distance of 1,178 meters. The total flight distance was 4 nm, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. Notably, the aircraft consumed 64 kg of fuel during the flight.
