Improve the takeoff
The rudder input is a changing profile through the roll rather than one that is held. So the demand on your right foot starts large at power application, eases as speed builds and the rudder gains authority, then jumps again at rotation.

One stabilised approach gate for a circuit: six checks at the point nearest 500 ft above the runway after the base turn. The 1,000 ft gate is an instrument-approach check and does not apply.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,490 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 432 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the aircraft rolled down runway 23, accelerating to liftoff speed of 47 kt in a distance of 183 m, which represented 7% of the runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component. Following a smooth departure, the aircraft entered a right-hand traffic pattern, navigating the circuit with ease.
As the aircraft completed the right-hand pattern, it demonstrated impressive agility, executing turns and legs with precision. The downwind turn, for instance, was conducted at an angle of 45 degrees, with the aircraft maintaining a steady heading of 156.0°. The subsequent base leg turn was similarly executed, with the aircraft aligning itself for a precise final approach. The aircraft's performance in the traffic pattern was further underscored by its ability to complete the various maneuvers in a short distance, with the right-hand pattern crosswind turn, for example, being completed in just 9 seconds.
The final approach to runway 23 was conducted from the east, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 251.0° at an altitude of 385 ft agl. The landing was executed to perfection, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 36 kt and a distance of 433 m, which represented 17% of the runway length. The touchdown rate was an impressive -78 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was spot on. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft came to a stop, having used a total of 4 nm of distance and 0 kg of fuel, with the entire flight taking just 5 minutes to complete.
The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the east was executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 251.0° at 1 nm and 385 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with the threshold height at 60 ft above ground level being slightly above the target. However, the threshold speed was good at 57 knots, indicating a well-controlled descent.
As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 433 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 36 knots. The touchdown rate was excellent at -78 feet per minute, demonstrating a smooth and controlled landing. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind of 1 knot at 270°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach.
The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment on the runway. The total landing distance was 475 meters, which is 19% of the runway length. Overall, the landing was scored 89.7%, reflecting a high level of proficiency and control throughout the approach, touchdown, and rollout phases.
