Departing from a location in the Provincie Drenthe, The Netherlands, the Grumman AA-5A Cheetah began its enroute climb phase, ascending from an initial altitude of 16 feet above sea level to 1,061 feet above sea level. This climb of 1,045 feet in just 2 minutes was achieved while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. The aircraft's rate of climb was impressive, showcasing its capabilities in the initial stages of flight.
Following the enroute climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude and airspeed for 2 minutes as it covered another 2 nautical miles. This phase allowed the pilot to stabilize the aircraft and prepare for the final approach to Groningen Airport Eelde. The approach was initiated from a southerly direction, with the aircraft heading 40.0 degrees and descending from an altitude of 561 feet above ground level to 2 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
The Grumman AA-5A Cheetah successfully landed on runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, a 2,493-meter-long runway. The touchdown was characterized by a good threshold height, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 48 knots, slightly below the target threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 99 meters was also satisfactory, and the aircraft's touchdown speed of 42 knots was within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -209 feet per minute was considered fair. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a light wind of 1 knot from 270 degrees, contributed to a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance of 6 nautical miles was achieved in 5 minutes, with the aircraft consuming approximately 1 kilogram of fuel.

The final approach to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the south west, heading 40.0° at 2 nm and 561 ft agl, was executed with good approach quality. The aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent throughout the approach phase, with a steady rate of descent and a smooth transition to the flare. The threshold height was good, allowing for a comfortable touchdown.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown speed of 42 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown distance of 99 m was well within the desired parameters. However, the touchdown rate of -209 fpm was slightly higher than ideal, indicating a slightly steeper descent than intended. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The threshold speed was a little below the target of 50 kt, but still within the acceptable range.
The rollout phase was smooth and controlled, with the aircraft maintaining a steady speed and direction. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing. Overall, the landing was executed with a high degree of precision and control, resulting in a final score of 98.0%.
