What went well

Touched down at -81 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 48 ft and 85 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 3.85 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Rollout — Runway alignment max 14.82 m right at 57 %, −2.13 points
Pattern Base Leg Turn — Angle to runway (45 degrees) 174.0 ° at 0 %, −2.00 points
Departure Roll — Rotation speed was 83 kt at 83 %, −0.38 points

Next time

Departure

Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 70 kt, not after it.

What happened: You started the rotation at 83 kt, 13 kt past the 70 kt rotation speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 70 kt at rotation

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Use small rudder inputs against a point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline during rollout.

What happened: During the rollout the aircraft drifted 15 m off the centreline.

Watch for: Runway centreline marks: hold the aircraft tracking straight down the centreline through rollout

See Arrival Rollout

Ground control varies with speed, full authority at walking pace, progressively reducing as groundspeed rises. The aircraft becomes twitchy at any speed, every small pedal input swings the nose, which can encourage large-amplitude leg inputs that no real aircraft would accept.

Flight narrative

The Piper PA-28 Arrow III taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft achieved a takeoff distance of 594 m, representing 24 % of the available runway, and lifted off at 91 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, giving a 1 kt head-wind component and a 1 kt cross-wind component.

During the approach phase the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 41 seconds, then proceeded to a left-hand crosswind leg of less than 1 nm in 16 seconds. A downwind turn was flown for 1 nm with a 45° angle to the runway measured at 29.9°. The final approach to runway 05 was executed from the southwest on a heading of 49.0°, descending to 0 nm and 97 ft AGL. Weather at this stage was 18 °C with a wind of 15 kt from 217°, producing a 4 kt cross-wind and a 15 kt tail-wind component.

The aircraft touched down on runway 05, whose length is 2,488 m, with a threshold speed reported as well above the target at 85 kt. Touchdown occurred 179 m beyond the designated touchdown zone at a speed of 64 kt and a vertical rate of minus 46 fpm. The touchdown point was offset 4.2 m from the centreline, and the total landing distance recorded was 1,294 m, equivalent to 52 % of the runway.

Rollout continued with the aircraft remaining slightly off the centreline by 14.8 m as it decelerated along the runway. No further deviations were noted before the aircraft completed the landing sequence.

In total the flight covered 5 nm, required 4 units of time as reported, and consumed 104 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-28 Arrow III completed a final approach to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the south-west, maintaining a heading of 49.0° at 0 nm and 97 ft AGL in temperature 18 °C with wind 15 kt from 217° (crosswind 4 kt, tailwind 15 kt). The aircraft’s overall score was 93.3 %.

The threshold height was good and the threshold speed was well above target at 85 kt.

Touchdown occurred 179 m beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 64 kt that was good and a touchdown rate of minus 46 fpm that was perfect; the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 4.2 m from the centreline.

The total landing distance was 1,294 m, representing 52 % of the 2,488 m runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 14.8 m from the centreline.

To improve future performance, aim to touch down within the designated touchdown zone to reduce the overshoot distance, and focus on maintaining centreline alignment through the rollout to minimize lateral deviation.
