What went well

Touched down at -130 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 205 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 0.50 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Arrival Landing — bank angle up to 12.0 ° at 74 %, Threshold speed was a little below target at 53 kt at 74 %, −1.54 points
Pattern Base Leg Turn — Angle to runway (45 degrees) 84.2 ° at 3 %, −1.38 points
Departure Roll — Landing Lights at 0 %, −0.56 points

Next time

Arrival

Add power on final to hold 65 kt across the threshold.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 53 kt, 12 kt below VREF, and low energy like this usually carries through to a firm touchdown at 129 fpm.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 65 kt at the threshold

The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

Flight narrative

Departing from EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, the Grumman AA-5A Traveler began its takeoff roll on runway 23. The aircraft accelerated smoothly, reaching a liftoff speed of 64 kt in a distance of 651 m, which accounted for 26% 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 component.

As the aircraft entered the traffic pattern, it proceeded to the left, following a standard left-hand pattern entry from runway 23. The subsequent turns and legs of the pattern were executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a steady pace. The pattern downwind turn, for instance, was completed in a distance of 1 nm, with an angle to the runway of 78.1°. The aircraft then proceeded to the base leg, where it turned at an angle of 73.9° to the runway, before making the final turn onto the runway for landing.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on runway 23 at a speed of 42 kt and a distance of 113 m. The touchdown rate was a respectable -198 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The total flight distance of 5 nm was completed in 3 minutes, with the aircraft consuming a mere 1 kg of fuel. The landing threshold speed was slightly below the target, but the overall performance of the aircraft was satisfactory, given the favorable weather conditions.

Landing Summary

The approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a stable and controlled descent throughout. The threshold height was good, allowing for a smooth transition from the approach to the landing phase. However, the threshold speed was a little below the target, coming in at 53 kt, which may have been a result of the slight headwind of 1 kt.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, it did so with a good touchdown distance of 113 m, indicating a well-controlled and stable touchdown. The touchdown speed of 42 kt was also good, and the touchdown rate of -198 fpm was within acceptable limits. 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 269 °, contributed to a smooth and stable approach.

The rollout phase was also executed well, with the aircraft maintaining its centerline alignment and coming to a stop in a controlled manner. Overall, the landing was a success, with a score of 98.1% indicating a high level of proficiency and control. The pilot's ability to adapt to the slight headwind and maintain a stable approach and touchdown was particularly noteworthy, and demonstrates a high level of skill and experience.
