What held you back

Arrival Approach — 300 ft gate 86 %, −1.59 points

Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was a little below target at 56 kt at 87 %, −0.38 points

Next time

Departure

Ease the nose up sooner to lift off at 68 kt instead of letting speed build on the ground.

What happened: The aircraft lifted off at 78 kt, 10 kt above the target liftoff speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 68 kt at liftoff

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Add power on short final to hold 65 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 56 kt against a target of 65 kt, below reference speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 65 kt down to the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Flight narrative

Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Grumman AA-5A Traveler initiated its takeoff roll on runway 05, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 78 kt in 918 meters, which represented 37% of the available runway 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 tailwind component.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of agility, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 20 seconds. The subsequent right-hand pattern crosswind turn was executed efficiently, taking only 8 seconds to complete. The pilot then proceeded to configure the aircraft for landing, executing a pattern downwind turn with a distance of 1 nm and an angle to the runway of 63.3°. The downwind leg was maintained for 2 nm over a period of 80 seconds, before the pilot initiated the base leg turn, which was completed in 1 nm with an angle to the runway of 41.8°. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft descending to 172 ft above ground level (agl) at a heading of 52.0°.

The Grumman AA-5A Traveler touched down on runway 05 at Groningen Airport Eelde, with a touchdown distance of 275 meters and a speed of 36 kt. The touchdown rate was an impressive -79 fpm, indicating a well-controlled descent. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 meters from the centerline, the overall landing performance was satisfactory. The total flight distance was 5 nm, covering a distance of 4 nm in 4 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 1 kg.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was conducted from the south west, aligning with the heading of 52.0° at 0 nm and 172 ft above ground level. The aircraft maintained a stable and controlled descent throughout the approach, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target, registering at 57 kt.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 275 m, and the touchdown speed of 36 kt was within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate was particularly impressive, with an excellent rate of -79 fpm. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.2 m from the centreline, the deviation was minimal and did not pose a significant risk to the safety of the operation. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a relatively calm and stable environment for the landing.

The overall performance of the aircraft during the landing was excellent, with a final score of 99.8%. The slight deviation from the centreline and the below-target threshold speed were the only minor issues noted during the operation. Nonetheless, the pilot's skill and control of the aircraft ensured a safe and successful landing, with the aircraft coming to a stop within a short distance of the runway threshold.
