Next time

Departure

Ease the yoke smoothly to hold a steady one g through the ground roll instead of letting it sag to 2.2 g.

What happened: During the ground roll the g force averaged 2.2 g, well below the smooth steady load expected while tracking the runway.

Watch for: Watch the g meter and hold it steady near one g through the roll.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Smooth and coordinate your control inputs through the pattern entry, easing elevator and aileron movements to avoid abrupt g force spikes.

What happened: G force varied during the pattern entry, and the same unevenness showed up again in the landing and through the rollout. A rough, abrupt control pattern early on tends to carry straight through to the ground run.

Watch for: G meter: hold a smooth, steady reading through the turn, avoiding any sharp spikes.

See Pattern EntryArrival LandingArrival Rollout

Spacing cues are relative to your eyepoint, so two simmers with different FOV settings following the same wingtip cue fly patterns half a mile different in width, and a wide FOV compresses depth so the runway on base looks further away than it is, biasing you towards a late turn. Pick a camera position and FOV, save it, and never change it, because every judgement you calibrate is calibrated to that picture.

Flight narrative

Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the GA-8 Airvan Cargo aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 83 kt in a distance of 595 m, which accounted for 24% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 26 °C and a gentle wind of 2 kt from a direction of 125°, resulting in a negligible crosswind 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 82 seconds. The subsequent downwind turn, which covered a distance of 2 nm, was executed at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a turn radius of 3.8°. The final approach to runway 05 was made from the south-west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 57.0° at an altitude of 571 ft above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nm from the threshold.

The landing was executed to perfection, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 52 kt and a touchdown distance of 483 m, which represented 28% of the available runway length. The touchdown rate was a commendable -43 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was spot on. Following touchdown, the aircraft rolled out to a stop in a distance of 700 m, with the runway rollout alignment remaining perfect throughout. The total flight distance was a mere 4 nm, and the aircraft consumed a mere -7 kg of fuel during the entire flight.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was conducted from the south west, with a heading of 57.0° at 1 nm and 571 ft above ground level. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 74 kt. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, touching down at a speed of 52 kt and a distance of 483 m, which was well within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -43 fpm was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft remained aligned with the centreline of the runway, demonstrating precise control and a high level of pilot skill. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26 °C and a gentle wind of 2 kt at 125°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The crosswind component was minimal, at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 1 kt, further facilitating a smooth touchdown. The total landing distance of 700 m, which accounted for only 28% of the runway length, was a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's performance.

The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment with the centreline of the runway. The pilot's control and coordination were evident as the aircraft slowed down smoothly, coming to a stop within a short distance.
