Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Kodiak 100 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 89 kt in a distance of 722 meters, which accounted for 29% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of maneuverability, completing the pattern entry turn in less than 1 nm in 23 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed in an equally impressive 20 seconds, showcasing the aircraft's responsiveness to control inputs. The pilot then proceeded to configure the aircraft for landing, executing a series of turns and legs that culminated in a final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, at a heading of 219.0° and an altitude of 719 ft above ground level.
The landing itself was characterized by a smooth touchdown, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 54 kt and a rate of -100 fpm. The touchdown point was 248 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total flight distance of 12 nm was completed in 7 minutes, with the aircraft consuming 19 kg of fuel. The pilot's skill and attention to detail were evident throughout the flight, as the aircraft performed consistently and efficiently in a variety of phases.
