The aircraft taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll. The take-off run required 597 m, representing 24 % of the available runway, and the aircraft 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.

A left-hand pattern entry was flown from runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 41 seconds before joining the circuit.

The aircraft then proceeded to the left-hand pattern crosswind leg, again covering less than 1 nm, this time in 18 seconds.

During the downwind turn the aircraft flew a 1 nm leg, turning to an angle of 29.2° relative to the runway centreline (45° turn).

The final approach to runway 05 was executed from the south-west 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.

Landing was made on runway 05, whose length is 2,493 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 85 kt, well above the target. Touchdown occurred 187 m beyond the designated touchdown zone at a speed of 64 kt and a vertical speed of minus 46 fpm. The touchdown point was laterally offset by 4.8 m from the centreline. The total landing distance measured 1,302 m, equivalent to 52 % of the runway length.

During rollout the aircraft’s alignment drifted 15.0 m from the centreline before the taxi-off.

In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 5 nm, required 4 minutes of flight time, and consumed 104 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-28 Arrow III approached runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the south-west on a heading of 49.0° with the aircraft at 97 ft AGL and 0 nm from the threshold. Local temperature was 18 °C, wind was 15 kt from 217° with a 4 kt crosswind component and a 15 kt tailwind component.

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

Touchdown occurred 187 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 64 kt that was good and a vertical rate of minus 46 fpm that was perfect; the touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 4.8 m from the centreline.

The aircraft rolled out over a total landing distance of 1,302 m, representing 52 % of the 2,493 m runway, and the rollout alignment was slightly off centreline by 15.0 m.

Reduce the approach speed to meet the target rather than the well-above-target 85 kt, which will help keep the touchdown point nearer the zone. Refine the lateral tracking to keep the aircraft within a few metres of the centreline during touchdown and rollout.
