What held you back

Arrival Approach — 300 ft gate 71 %, −3.17 points

Next time

Departure

Start bringing the nose up as the speed reaches 56 kt, not after it.

What happened: You started the rotation at 74 kt, 18 kt past the 56 kt rotation speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 56 kt at rotation

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Make small rudder corrections against a fixed point at the far end of the runway to hold the centreline.

What happened: You drifted off the centreline on the approach.

Watch for: Runway centreline: tracked all the way to the threshold.

See Arrival Approach

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

Flight narrative

Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Grumman AA-5A Cheetah began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 77 kt in 899 meters, which accounted for 36% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a negligible wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated impressive agility, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 15 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed in 20 seconds, showcasing the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's response to the wind. The pattern downwind turn was executed at an angle of 85.4° to the runway, while the base leg turn was conducted at a more shallow angle of 49.9°. The final approach was made from the north-east, with the aircraft descending to 186 ft above ground level (agl) at a heading of 231.0°.

The Grumman AA-5A Cheetah landed smoothly on runway 23, with a touchdown speed of 41 kt and a touchdown distance of 312 meters. The touchdown rate was an impressive -74 fpm, indicating a well-controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the pilot's skill in managing the aircraft's speed and altitude was evident throughout the approach and landing phases. The total flight distance was 6 nm, covering a distance of 4 nm in 4 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 1 kg of fuel during the flight.
