Next time

Departure

Ease the yoke smoothly to hold a steady one g through the ground roll instead of letting it sag to 0.7 g.

What happened: During the ground roll the g force averaged 0.7 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

When Vr arrives, an abrupt near-full-scale pull, pitch overshoots, a push, and an oscillation through the first 200 ft. It feels like “this aircraft is twitchy” but the actual fault happened before liftoff. The pitch trace needs to show a clean ramp during liftoff.

Flight narrative

Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Grumman AA-5A Traveler began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 63 kt in a distance of 578 meters, which accounted for 23% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from a direction of 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a swift and efficient turn, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 94 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 2.3°. The final approach to runway 05 was initiated from the south-west, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 52.0° at an altitude of 589 ft above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nm from the runway threshold.

The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down on the runway at a speed of 46 kt, which was slightly above the optimal threshold speed of 66 kt. However, the touchdown rate of -63 fpm was excellent, and the runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft coming to a stop in a distance of 568 meters, which again accounted for 23% of the available runway length. The total flight distance was 4 nm, and the aircraft used 1 kg of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

The Grumman AA-5A Traveler touched down on runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde with a satisfactory approach quality, demonstrating good control and precision. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 589 feet above ground level (agl) at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway threshold, aligning with the runway heading of 052.0 degrees. The threshold height was well-managed, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed of 46 knots was slightly above the recommended threshold speed of 66 knots, resulting in a slightly higher touchdown rate. However, the actual touchdown rate of -63 feet per minute (fpm) was still considered excellent. The touchdown distance of 302 meters was within acceptable limits, and the aircraft maintained a stable position on the runway. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.3 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the approach or a slight crosswind effect.

The aircraft's rollout was characterized by very good alignment, with the aircraft staying close to the centreline. The total landing distance of 568 meters, which accounted for 23% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a light wind of 1 knot from 269 degrees, did not pose any significant challenges to the landing. Overall, the landing was considered highly successful, with a score of 99.3%.
