Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the M500 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 103 kt in 897 meters, which was 36% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of agility, completing the pattern entry turn in less than 1 nm in 20 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was equally impressive, with a distance of less than 1 nm covered in just 12 seconds. The pilot's proficiency in navigating the pattern was evident in the smooth execution of the downwind, base, and final turns, with distances of 2 nm and angles to the runway of 67.3° and 42.6°, respectively. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, with a heading of 231.0° at 1 nm and an altitude of 286 ft above ground level.

The landing on runway 23 was successful, with a touchdown point located 241 meters beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 76 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -42 fpm was perfect. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.8 meters from the centerline, the runway rollout alignment was very good. The total landing distance of 1,249 meters, which was 50% of the available runway length, was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. The total flight distance of 9 nm was covered in 5 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 180 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down on runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, a 2,492-meter-long runway, after a final approach from the north east. The approach quality was good, with a threshold height that met expectations. However, the threshold speed was above the target, reaching 102 knots, which may have been due to the aircraft's configuration or the pilot's decision to maintain a higher speed for the landing.

The touchdown characteristics were satisfactory, with a speed of 76 knots and a rate of descent of -42 feet per minute, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, deviating by 3.8 meters from the centerline. This minor deviation did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and a light headwind of 1 knot, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.

The total landing distance of 1,249 meters, which accounted for 50% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing performance was satisfactory, with a score of 97.0%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control.
