Arrival

On crosswind, correct heading promptly back to runway heading using coordinated rudder and aileron as soon as drift is seen.

What happened: The heading drifted 6.5° off runway heading on the crosswind leg, and a heading deviation like this usually carries through onto base, where this flight was 12° off.

Watch for: Heading indicator, holding runway heading on crosswind.

See Pattern CrosswindPattern Base Leg

The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

Flight narrative

Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Grumman AA-5A Traveler began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 66 kt in a distance of 785 m, which accounted for 32% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of agility, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 18 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed with precision, taking 19 seconds to complete. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, maintaining a 45-degree angle to the runway and a distance of 1 nm. The downwind leg itself was flown for 2 nm in 62 seconds, before the base leg turn was executed, again at a 45-degree angle to the runway. The base leg was completed in less than 1 nm in 36 seconds, followed by a final turn that took 30 seconds to complete. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 231.0° and an altitude of 200 ft above ground level.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 36 kt and a distance of 274 m, which accounted for 16% of the available runway length. The touchdown rate was an impressive -80 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total landing distance was 399 m, and the runway rollout alignment was also flawless. The aircraft's fuel efficiency was notable, with a total flight distance of 7 nm covered in 5 minutes, using a mere 0 kg of fuel.
