What went well

Touchdown 97 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 1.26 m off the centreline, no bounce
Rotated at 48 kt — on the 56 kt rotation target

What held you back

Arrival Landing — Threshold speed at 41 kt was well below target, take care not to stall at 28 %, Flare profile at 56 %, −3.22 points
Arrival Approach — 500 ft gate 71 %, −3.17 points
Pattern Downwind — Average altitude 670 ft agl at 38 %, −1.55 points

Next time

Arrival

Add power sooner on final to hold 66 kt by the stabilisation gate, not just at the threshold.

What happened: The approach was slow at the stabilisation gate, and the aircraft carried that deficit all the way to the threshold, still 25 kt below VREF; arriving that slow usually leaves little energy to cushion the flare, as it did here with a touchdown rate of 249 fpm.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 66 kt at the threshold

See Arrival ApproachArrival LandingArrival Touchdown

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Grumman AA-5A Cheetah began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 65 kt in a distance of 415 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand pattern, it demonstrated a swift and efficient turn, covering a distance of less than 1 nm in 142 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was equally impressive, with a distance of less than 1 nm covered in just 34 seconds. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, which spanned 2 nm and involved a 45-degree angle to the runway, with a corresponding bank angle of 5.9°. The downwind leg itself was brief, lasting only 6 seconds as the aircraft transitioned into the final approach.

The Grumman AA-5A Cheetah then began its final approach to runway 05, descending from 570 ft above ground level (agl) at a heading of 41.0°. The landing was executed smoothly, with a touchdown distance of 100 meters and a speed of 35 kt. Although the touchdown rate of -227 fpm was somewhat higher than ideal, the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total flight distance of 3 nm was covered in 5 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 1 kg.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the south west was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 41.0° at 2 nautical miles and 570 feet above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed of 41 knots was well below the target, necessitating careful control to avoid stalling the aircraft.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance of 100 meters was satisfactory, and the touchdown speed of 35 knots was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -227 feet per minute was fair, indicating a slight deceleration upon touchdown. Notably, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 1 knot from 270°, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.

The overall performance of the landing was impressive, with a final score of 96.6%. The combination of good approach quality, precise touchdown alignment, and controlled touchdown speed and rate resulted in a successful landing. The pilot's attention to detail and ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude effectively were key factors in achieving this high score.
