Arrival Approach

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 taxied down runway 23 and began its departure roll. The aircraft accelerated smoothly, eventually lifting off the ground at a speed of 79 kt after a takeoff distance of 900 m, which accounted for 36% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °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 traffic pattern, it demonstrated impressive agility, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 16 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed with equal precision, taking 20 seconds to complete. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, which required a distance of 1 nm and an angle of 85.3° to the runway. The downwind leg itself spanned 2 nm, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading. Following the base leg turn, the aircraft aligned itself with the runway, completing the final approach from the north-east at a heading of 231.0° and an altitude of 178 ft above ground level.

The Grumman AA-5A Cheetah touched down on runway 23 with a speed of 48 kt, achieving a touchdown distance of 312 m and a touchdown rate of -64 fpm, which was well within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating a high degree of pilot skill and control. The total flight distance of 6 nm was completed in 4 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 1 kg. The aircraft's performance was impressive, considering the favorable weather conditions and the pilot's ability to execute a smooth and controlled landing.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the north east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 231.0° at 0 nm and 178 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target, reaching 70 kt. Despite this, the touchdown distance was good, measuring 312 m, and the touchdown speed of 48 kt was well within the acceptable range.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft displayed excellent characteristics, with a touchdown rate of -64 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The crosswind and headwind components were minimal, at 1 kt each, further facilitating a smooth touchdown.

The overall performance of the aircraft during the landing phase was outstanding, with a final score of 99.7%. The combination of good approach quality, precise touchdown alignment, and controlled touchdown characteristics resulted in a successful landing. The aircraft's ability to maintain a stable and predictable flight path, despite the slightly high threshold speed, was a testament to the pilot's skill and experience.
