Arrival
Departing from the Groningen Airport Eelde, the Grumman AA-5A Traveler began its enroute climb phase, ascending from an initial altitude of 20 feet above sea level to 18 feet above sea level, a mere 2-foot increase, within a short period of less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. This initial climb phase set the stage for the subsequent phases of the flight.
As the aircraft approached the runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, it initiated a go-around maneuver at an altitude of 5 feet above ground level. Following this, the pilot successfully executed a final approach to runway 23 from the north-east, maintaining a heading of 240.0° at an altitude of 343 feet above ground level and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold. The aircraft landed smoothly on the runway, with a threshold speed of 78 knots and a touchdown speed of 40 knots. The touchdown point was located 211 meters beyond the touchdown zone, resulting in a touchdown rate of -53 feet per minute, which was deemed excellent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating a high degree of precision in the pilot's landing technique.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C, with a wind speed of 1 knot from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component. The total landing distance was 769 meters, which accounted for approximately 31% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft's rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control. The total flight distance was 8 nautical miles, with a flight time of 7 minutes, and the aircraft consumed a fuel quantity of -1 kilogram, indicating a slight fuel saving during the flight.
