Overhead Yde, a rural area in the Dutch province of Drenthe, a Sirius aircraft initiated its enroute level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude for a brief 2 minutes as it covered a distance of 2 nautical miles. This initial phase set the stage for the subsequent approach and landing at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde.
As the aircraft began its final approach to runway 05, it aligned itself with the runway from the south-west, tracking a heading of 49.0° at an altitude of 189 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was executed with caution, as the threshold height of 64 feet agl was above the target, and the threshold speed of 43 knots was well below the desired value, necessitating careful control to avoid stalling. The touchdown point was 219 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, but the touchdown speed of 37 knots was satisfactory, and the touchdown rate of -11 feet per minute was optimal. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, indicating a high degree of precision in the approach and landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from a direction of 269°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component. The total landing distance of 851 meters was 34% of the runway length, and the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating a smooth and controlled deceleration after touchdown. The total flight distance of 3 nautical miles was covered in 4 minutes, and the aircraft consumed no fuel during the flight.
