Top opportunity

Know your rotation speed

Not the biggest loss in points — the one thing on this flight a check pilot would raise first, and the guide passage for it.

A typical trainer rotates in the mid-50s of knots - a 172 at around 55 KIAS, climbing out at a Vy in the low 70s, though check your own POH rather than memorising Cessna's numbers - and the transferable rule is that Vr sits just above the stall speed in takeoff configuration. Rotate early because "it felt ready" and the aircraft lifts off inside ground effect, where induced drag is reduced, then climbs out of it into more drag. On a marginal-performance day the result is an aircraft that lifts off and then refuses to climb, sagging back towards the runway.

Flight narrative

The aircraft departed from runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, executing a departure roll of 414 m which represented 17 % of the available runway. Liftoff was achieved at 82 kt. Ambient conditions were 11 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 169°, resulting in a 1 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.

A left-hand pattern entry was flown from runway 23, covering a distance of 1 nm in 20 seconds.

The subsequent left-hand pattern cross-wind leg was less than 1 nm long and required 24 seconds to complete.

The downwind leg of the pattern extended 2 nm and was flown in 78 seconds.

During the base-leg turn the aircraft described a 1 nm arc; the turn angle to the runway was 45 degrees with a measured heading of 64.8°.

The base leg itself was less than 1 nm in length and was completed in 34 seconds.

The final turn onto the approach course was also less than 1 nm and took 11 seconds.

Final approach to runway 23 was conducted from the north-east on a heading of 231.0°, with the aircraft at 0 nm from the threshold and 297 ft above ground level.

Landing was made on runway 23, whose total length is 2 493 m. The threshold speed was slightly below the target at 54 kt. Touchdown occurred 236 m down the runway at 44 kt with a vertical speed of minus 41 fpm, and runway alignment at touchdown was perfect. Weather conditions remained 11 °C, wind 1 kt from 169°, cross-wind 1 kt, head-wind 0 kt.

The total landing roll measured 488 m, representing 20 % of the runway, and rollout alignment was judged very good.

In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 7 nm, took 7 (units as recorded), and consumed 1 kg of fuel.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was flown from the north east on a heading of 231.0 ° at 0 nm and 297 ft agl. Local weather was 11 °C with wind 1 kt at 169 °, giving a cross-wind component of 1 kt and a head-wind component of 0 kt.

At threshold the height was reported as good and the threshold speed was a little below target at 54 kt.

Touchdown occurred 236 m down the runway at a speed of 44 kt, a vertical rate of minus 41 fpm and perfect runway alignment. The runway length is 2,493 m and the total landing distance was 488 m, representing 20 % of the runway.

Rollout alignment was very good.

Maintain the target threshold speed on future approaches to keep the speed within the prescribed envelope; a slight increase to meet the target will preserve the excellent alignment and distance performance demonstrated in this landing.
