Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Grumman AA-5A Traveler began its takeoff roll on runway 05, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 64 kt in a distance of 759 m, which accounted for 30% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind component.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a swift and efficient turn, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 14 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was equally impressive, with a distance of less than 1 nm covered in just 6 seconds. The pilot then executed a series of turns and legs, including a downwind turn at an angle of 126.5° to the runway, a downwind leg of 1 nm in 61 seconds, and a base leg turn at an angle of 38.1° to the runway. The final approach was made from the southwest, with the aircraft descending to an altitude of 151 ft above ground level (agl) at a heading of 53.0°.

The Grumman AA-5A Traveler touched down on runway 05 at Groningen Airport Eelde, with a touchdown distance of 364 m and a speed of 44 kt. The touchdown rate was an excellent -80 fpm, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 m from the centreline. The pilot's performance was further highlighted by the fact that the threshold speed was slightly above target at 68 kt, and the total flight distance of 4 nm was covered in just 3 minutes, with no fuel consumed.

Landing on runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde in the Grumman AA-5A Traveler

Landing Score 99.76 %

Landing Summary

The Grumman AA-5A Traveler touched down smoothly on runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The aircraft's approach quality was excellent, with a heading of 53.0° and an altitude of 151 feet above ground level (agl) at 0 nautical miles from the threshold. The pilot maintained a steady descent, and the threshold speed of 68 knots was slightly above the target, but still within a safe margin.

As the aircraft made contact with the runway, the touchdown distance of 364 meters was good, and the touchdown speed of 44 knots was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -80 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.7 meters, which may require some adjustments to the pilot's alignment during the approach.

The aircraft rolled out smoothly, with the local weather conditions of 15°C temperature and 1 knot wind at 270° contributing to a stable and predictable rollout. The crosswind and tailwind components were minimal, at 1 knot each, which further reduced the risk of any deviations from the centreline. Overall, the landing was a success, with a score of 99.8% reflecting the high level of proficiency demonstrated by the pilot.
