The Cessna 172 commenced its departure roll on runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, accelerating through a takeoff distance of 402 m which represented 16 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 86 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a 1 kt headwind and a 1 kt cross-wind component.

During the approach, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern on runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 27 seconds for the entry and another sub-1 nm segment in 15 seconds for the crosswind leg. The downwind turn spanned 1 nm with a 75.3° angle to the runway, followed by a 2 nm downwind leg completed in 64 seconds. The base turn covered 1 nm at a 36.1° angle, after which the base leg was less than 1 nm in 17 seconds. The final turn was also under 1 nm and lasted 20 seconds. The final approach was established from the north-east on a heading of 218.0° at 1 nm and 361 ft AGL, maintaining the same wind conditions as earlier.

Landing was executed on runway 23, whose length is 2,493 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 82 kt, and touchdown occurred 304 m down the runway at a speed of 63 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 58 fpm. Runway alignment at touchdown was perfect, and the weather remained 15 °C with a 1 kt wind from 270°, providing a 1 kt headwind and 1 kt cross-wind.

In total, the flight covered 7 nm, took 4 (units as given), and consumed 2 kg of fuel.

Landing Score 86.67 %

Landing Summary

The Cessna 172 established a final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the north-east, tracking a heading of 218.0° at one nautical mile and 361 ft above ground level. Local weather reported a temperature of 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 270°, with a 1 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt headwind component.

At the threshold the height was good, while the threshold speed was excessively high at 82 kt.

Touchdown occurred 304 m down the runway, a distance described as good, with a touchdown speed of 63 kt that was a little fast. The touchdown rate was excellent at minus 58 fpm and runway alignment was perfect.

Reduce the approach and touchdown speeds to bring them within typical Cessna 172 parameters, which will tighten the margin of safety and improve energy management. Minor speed adjustments will align the performance with the overall 86.7 % score.
