Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Cessna 400 Corvalis initiated its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 89 kt in a distance of 568 meters, which represented 23% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by 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 right-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of maneuverability, completing the entry turn in less than 1 nm in 36 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed with equal precision, taking only 9 seconds to complete. The pilot then proceeded to configure the aircraft for landing, executing a pattern downwind turn with a distance of 4 nm and an angle to the runway of 89.9°. The subsequent downwind leg, base leg, and final turn were all completed with a high degree of accuracy, ultimately positioning the aircraft for a final approach to runway 23 from the north-east.

The landing itself was characterized by a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 76 kt, indicating a well-executed approach. The touchdown point was located 178 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 54 kt and a rate of descent of -38 fpm, both of which were within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was also perfect, demonstrating a high degree of pilot skill and aircraft control. The total flight distance of 12 nm was completed in 6 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 2 kg.
