Departing from an undisclosed location, the aircraft initiated its enroute climb phase as it ascended over Yde in the Provincie Drenthe, The Netherlands. The climb from 22 feet above sea level to 996 feet above sea level was achieved in a remarkably short 2 minutes, with a vertical gain of 974 feet and a horizontal distance of 2 nautical miles. This impressive climb rate allowed the aircraft to quickly reach its cruising altitude.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent phase, starting 1 mile east of Donderen in the Provincie Drenthe. The descent from 995 feet above sea level to 173 feet above sea level was also completed in 2 minutes, with a decrease of 822 feet and a horizontal distance of 3 nautical miles. This controlled descent phase ensured a smooth transition to the final approach.
The aircraft then initiated its final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, approaching from the north-east at a heading of 231.0°. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height and speed, touching down at a speed of 42 knots and a distance of 358 meters. The touchdown rate of -44 feet per minute was perfect, and the runway touchdown alignment was also spot on. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°, contributed to a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance of 5 nautical miles was completed in 4 minutes, with no fuel consumption.
