The Black Square Commander 114TC N177AQ taxied to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the take-off roll. The aircraft accelerated over 606 m, representing 24 % of the available runway, and lifted off at 80 kt. Ambient conditions were 20 °C with a wind of 7 kt from 030°, providing a 6 kt head-wind component and a 2 kt cross-wind component.

During the approach the aircraft entered a right-hand pattern for runway 05. The entry segment covered less than 1 nm in 19 seconds, followed by a right-hand crosswind leg of less than 1 nm in 20 seconds. The downwind turn spanned 1 nm at an angle of 83.8° to the runway, after which the downwind leg extended 2 nm in 73 seconds. The base turn covered 2 nm at a 42.9° angle, and the base leg was less than 1 nm in 19 seconds. The final turn was less than 1 nm in 43 seconds, placing the aircraft on final approach from the south-west on a heading of 53.0° at 1 nm and 230 ft AGL. Weather at this stage was 19 °C with a wind of 6 kt from 028°, giving a 6 kt head-wind and a 2 kt cross-wind.

The aircraft touched down on runway 05, whose total length is 2 493 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 72 kt, above the target. Touchdown occurred 311 m down the runway at 58 kt with a vertical speed of minus 69 fpm, and the wheel track was offset 3.6 m from the centreline. The total landing distance measured 552 m, equivalent to 22 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was judged very good.

In the rollout phase the aircraft remained aligned with the runway centreline and decelerated to a stop without deviation, confirming the previously noted very good alignment.

Overall, the flight covered 8 nm, required approximately 6 minutes, and consumed 3 kg of fuel.
