Top opportunity

Improve the pattern downwind leg

The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.

The 45-degrees-behind-the-wing cue assumes you can turn your head and use peripheral vision. Downwind spacing cues like "put the wingtip halfway up the strut" assume a fixed, known eyepoint. Neither survives a monitor unmodified. If you fly on a fixed monitor, stop pretending and fly a numbers-based circuit.

Flight narrative

The Black Square Commander 114TC N177AQ taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll, covering 405 m which represents 16 % of the available runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 77 kt under local conditions of 11 °C temperature, a wind of 1 kt from 169°, with a 1 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.

After rotation, the aircraft achieved liftoff and entered the left-hand pattern entry for runway 23, flying a distance of less than 1 nm in 22 seconds.

The subsequent left-hand pattern crosswind leg covered less than 1 nm in 17 seconds, maintaining alignment with runway 23.

During the pattern downwind turn the aircraft described a 1 nm arc, reaching an angle to the runway of 81.8°.

The downwind leg extended 2 nm and was completed in 67 seconds, positioning the aircraft for the base turn.

The base-leg turn was a 1 nm maneuver that brought the aircraft to an angle of 46.0° relative to the runway heading.

The base leg itself was less than 1 nm long and was flown in 24 seconds.

A final-turn segment of less than 1 nm was executed in 19 seconds, aligning the aircraft for the final approach.

The final approach to runway 23 was flown from the north-east on a heading of 231.0°, at 1 nm distance and 324 ft above ground level.

Landing was performed on runway 23, whose length is 2,493 m. The threshold speed was 70 kt; touchdown occurred 266 m down the runway at 54 kt with a descent rate of minus 94 fpm and a very good runway-touchdown alignment. Weather remained 11 °C with a 1 kt wind from 169°, a 1 kt cross-wind and no head-wind.

Rollout continued for a total landing distance of 559 m, representing 22 % of the runway, and the aircraft maintained perfect alignment during the deceleration phase.

In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 7 nm taking 6 and used 13 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was flown from the north-east on a heading of 231.0° at 1 nm and 324 ft agl. Local weather was 11 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 169°, giving a crosswind component of 1 kt and no headwind.

At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was 70 kt. The aircraft continued the flare in line with the approach profile.

Touchdown occurred 266 m down the runway at a speed of 54 kt with a vertical rate of -94 fpm, and runway-touchdown alignment was described as very good.

The total landing distance was 559 m, representing 22 % of the 2 493 m runway, and rollout alignment was perfect.

With a final score of 99.7 % the landing was excellent; a minor refinement is to aim the touchdown point slightly farther down the runway, closer to the typical 300 m (1 000 ft) aim point, to make full use of the available runway while preserving the current precision.
