Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Grumman AA-5A Traveler began its takeoff roll on runway 05, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 60 kt in 644 meters, which accounted for 26% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of agility, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 15 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed smoothly, taking only 6 seconds to complete. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, maintaining a 45-degree angle to the runway and a distance of 1 nm. The downwind leg itself was flown at a steady pace, covering 1 nm in 62 seconds. The base leg turn was executed with precision, followed by a short base leg, and finally, the final turn, which was completed in under 1 nm in 23 seconds. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 05, descending from 276 ft agl at a heading of 57.0°.

The landing was executed with a threshold speed slightly above the target of 70 kt, resulting in a touchdown distance of 347 m, which was 20% of the available runway length. Although the touchdown speed of 48 kt was a little fast, the touchdown rate of -76 fpm was excellent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, being 3.2 m off the centerline. The total landing distance was 489 m, and the runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft used a total of 1 kg of fuel for the flight, which covered a distance of 4 nm and took approximately 3 minutes to complete.

Landing on runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde in the Grumman AA-5A Traveler

Landing Score 96.87 %

Landing Summary

The Grumman AA-5A Traveler touched down on runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde with a score of 96.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south west, heading 57.0° at 1 nm and 276 ft above ground level. The pilot maintained a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 70 kt. The aircraft's touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 347 m, but the touchdown speed of 48 kt was a little fast.

The touchdown rate was excellent at -76 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions were calm, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind speed of 1 kt at 270°. The crosswind and tailwind components were negligible at 1 kt each. The total landing distance of 489 m was 20% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short rollout.

The runway rollout alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent path along the centreline. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with the pilot demonstrating good control and precision. However, there were some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown speed and centreline alignment.
