Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Sierra C24R began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 83 kt in a distance of 692 meters, which accounted for 28% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a negligible wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated its agility by completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 17 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed smoothly, taking 22 seconds to complete the maneuver. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, maintaining a 45-degree angle to the runway and covering a distance of 1 nm. The downwind leg itself was 3 nm long, lasting 81 seconds. The base leg turn was completed in 2 nm, with the aircraft aligning itself for the final approach. The Sierra C24R then began its final approach to runway 23, descending from 300 ft agl at a heading of 231.0°.
The aircraft touched down on the runway with a smooth touchdown rate of -107 fpm, at a speed of 52 kt, and a distance of 301 meters. The touchdown speed and distance were well within the acceptable limits, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total flight distance was 9 nm, covering the distance in 6 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 3 kg of fuel during the flight. The landing was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance, with the Sierra C24R demonstrating its capabilities in a variety of flight phases.
