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.
