Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Piper PA-24-250 Comanche began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 58 kt in a distance of 322 meters, which accounted for 13% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle 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 swift and efficient turn, completing the maneuver in less than 1 nm in 40 seconds. The subsequent downwind turn, with an angle of 105.7° to the runway, was executed in 1 nm, while the downwind leg itself covered a distance of 2 nm in 60 seconds. The base leg turn, with an angle of 12.2° to the runway, was completed in 1 nm, setting the aircraft up for a final approach from the north-east, heading 231.0° at 0 nm and 143 ft above ground level. The landing was executed with precision, with a touchdown speed of 45 kt and a touchdown rate of -40 fpm, resulting in a touchdown point 222 meters beyond the touchdown zone.

The total landing distance of 938 meters, which accounted for 38% of the available runway length, was well within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, and the aircraft used a total of 3 kg of fuel for the entire flight, which covered a distance of 5 nm.
