The Cessna 208B departed from runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde. The take-off roll measured 345 m, which is 14 % of the available runway, and the aircraft became airborne at a liftoff speed of 71 kt. Ambient conditions were 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, giving a 1 kt head-wind and a 1 kt cross-wind component.

During the approach the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern from runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 25 seconds. The subsequent left-hand crosswind leg also spanned less than 1 nm, completed in 15 seconds. The downwind turn was 1 nm with an angle to the runway of 84.9°, followed by a downwind leg of 2 nm flown in 47 seconds. The base-leg turn covered 1 nm at an angle of 54.1°, after which the base leg was less than 1 nm and lasted 24 seconds. The final turn was less than 1 nm and took 22 seconds. The final approach to runway 23 was established from the north-east on a heading of 232.0°, at 1 nm distance and 222 ft AGL.

Landing was executed on runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, whose length is 2 493 m. The threshold speed was recorded at 64 kt, and touchdown occurred 477 m down the runway at a speed of 52 kt. The vertical speed at touchdown was minus 50 fpm, and runway alignment was described as perfect. Weather at the time remained 15 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, providing the same 1 kt head-wind and 1 kt cross-wind as earlier.

The total landing distance was 758 m, representing 30 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was also noted as perfect.

In total the flight covered 8 nm, required approximately 5 minutes, and consumed 13 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 232.0 ° at 1 nm and 222 ft agl, with a temperature of 15 °C, wind 1 kt from 270 °, a crosswind component of 1 kt and a headwind component of 1 kt. The approach remained stable and the threshold height was reported as good.

At the threshold the aircraft maintained a speed of 64 kt, which was described as good, and the flare was executed with the expected height, confirming a well-timed transition from descent to level flight.

Touchdown occurred 477 m down the runway at a speed of 52 kt, both judged good, with a vertical rate of -50 fpm rated excellent and runway touchdown alignment perfect.

The rollout covered a total landing distance of 758 m, representing 30 % of the 2 493 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was perfect.

Maintain the current technique that produced the perfect alignment and rate, while fine-tuning the touchdown point to remain near the 300 m aim point and continuing to monitor the modest cross-wind component for consistent performance.
