Top opportunity

Improve the pattern downwind leg

The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.

The 45-degrees-behind-the-wing cue assumes you can turn your head and use peripheral vision. Downwind spacing cues like "put the wingtip halfway up the strut" assume a fixed, known eyepoint. Neither survives a monitor unmodified. If you fly on a fixed monitor, stop pretending and fly a numbers-based circuit.

Flight narrative

The Black Square Commander 114TC, registration N177AQ, taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll. The aircraft lifted off after a take-off run of 964 m, representing 39 % of the available runway, at a liftoff speed of 77 kt. Ambient conditions were 8 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 195°, no cross-wind component and no head-wind component.

During the approach phase the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 20 seconds. It then proceeded on the left-hand crosswind leg for 2 nm in 58 seconds, followed by a downwind turn of 3 nm with an angle to the runway of 45° (103.9°). The final approach was flown from the north-east on a heading of 231.0° at 1 nm and 404 ft AGL, aligning for runway 23.

Touchdown occurred on runway 23, whose length is 2 493 m. The threshold speed was 69 kt and the aircraft touched down 297 m from the threshold at 53 kt with a vertical speed of minus 47 fpm. Runway-touchdown alignment was recorded as perfect. Local weather at landing was 8 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 158°, a cross-wind component of 1 kt and no head-wind. The total landing distance measured 610 m, equivalent to 24 % of the runway.

The rollout proceeded without deviation, maintaining perfect alignment along the runway centreline until the aircraft came to a stop.

In total the flight covered 13 nm, taking 7 minutes, and consumed 4 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was flown from the north-east on a heading of 231.0° at 1 nm and 404 ft agl, with a threshold speed of 69 kt. Local weather was 8 °C with wind 1 kt from 158°, a crosswind component of 1 kt and no headwind.

During the threshold and flare the aircraft maintained the good threshold height and reduced speed to the touchdown speed of 53 kt. Touchdown distance was 297 m, the vertical rate was -47 fpm and runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

Touchdown occurred at the intended point with the same 297 m distance, 53 kt speed, -47 fpm rate and perfect alignment, confirming the expected performance.

Rollout continued with a total landing distance of 610 m, representing 24 % of the 2 493 m runway, and runway rollout alignment remained perfect.

With a final score of 99.2 % the landing was essentially flawless; focus on preserving the precise touchdown point and vertical rate will keep performance at the highest level.
