Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was executed from the north east, heading 231.0° at 0 nm and 194 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed that was slightly below the target at 66 kt. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, ultimately touching down at a speed of 43 kt, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 274 m was good, and the touchdown rate of -67 fpm was exceptional, indicating a smooth and controlled landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft remained perfectly aligned with the centreline of the runway, demonstrating precise control and a high level of pilot skill. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle headwind of 3 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The crosswind component was negligible, at 0 kt, further reducing the complexity of the landing. The total landing distance of 404 m, which accounted for only 16% of the runway length, was a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance.

The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment with the centreline of the runway. The pilot's control and coordination were evident as the aircraft slowed to a stop, demonstrating a high level of proficiency and a score of 99.2% for the landing. Overall, the landing was a textbook example of a well-executed approach, touchdown, and rollout, with the pilot and aircraft working in harmony to achieve a safe and efficient landing.
