Next time

Departure

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

What happened: You started the rotation at 73 kt, 17 kt past the 56 kt rotation speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 56 kt at rotation

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Add power earlier on final to hold 65 kt over the threshold rather than letting speed decay.

What happened: The aircraft crossed the threshold at 57 kt, 8 kt below the 65 kt target, and this flight's landing g force ran high. Crossing the threshold slow like this usually carries through into a firmer arrival.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 65 kt at the threshold

See Arrival LandingArrival Touchdown

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 Traveler began its takeoff roll on runway 05, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 77 kt in 1,023 meters, which equated to 41% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off into a calm local weather environment, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in minimal crosswind and tailwind effects.

As the aircraft entered the right-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated efficient maneuverability, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 22 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was executed in a mere 8 seconds, showcasing the aircraft's responsiveness to control inputs. The pilot then proceeded to configure the aircraft for landing, executing a series of turns and legs that culminated in a final approach to runway 05 from the southwest. The aircraft's approach speed was slightly below the target threshold, but the touchdown distance of 359 meters and touchdown speed of 41 kt were both within acceptable limits. The touchdown rate of -62 fpm was particularly impressive, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.

Upon landing, the aircraft came to rest on the runway, with a runway touchdown alignment that was very good. The total flight distance of 5 nm was completed in 4 minutes, with a fuel consumption of 1 kg. The Grumman AA-5A Traveler's performance on this flight was characterized by its efficient takeoff, precise pattern work, and smooth landing, all of which were achieved in a benign weather environment.

Landing Summary

The aircraft touched down smoothly on runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, with a threshold height that was well within acceptable limits. The final approach from the south west, heading 52.0° at 0 nm and 116 ft agl, set the stage for a precise touchdown. Although the threshold speed was a little below the target at 57 kt, the pilot's skill and control ensured a stable approach. The aircraft's touchdown distance of 359 m was good, and the touchdown speed of 41 kt was also within acceptable limits.

The touchdown rate of -62 fpm was particularly impressive, demonstrating excellent control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt at 270°, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The minimal crosswind and tailwind of 1 kt each further reduced the risk of any deviations from the planned touchdown point.

Overall, the landing was a success, with a score of 99.9%. The pilot's skill and attention to detail ensured a smooth and controlled touchdown, with all key performance figures well within acceptable limits. The aircraft's performance was exemplary, and the landing was a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
