Departure
Arrival
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.

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.
