Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Kodiak 100 aircraft began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 87 kt in a distance of 592 meters, which accounted for 24% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with 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 left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a high degree of agility, completing the pattern entry turn in less than 1 nm in 15 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was similarly efficient, taking 17 seconds to complete. The pilot then initiated the downwind turn, which required a distance of 1 nm and an angle of 109.9° to the runway. The downwind leg itself was 2 nm long, taking 53 seconds to complete. Following the base leg turn, the aircraft began its final approach to runway 23, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 231.0° and an altitude of 169 ft above ground level.
The landing was executed smoothly, with the aircraft touching down 129 meters beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 52 kt. The touchdown rate was an impressive -97 fpm, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The total landing distance was 775 meters, accounting for 31% of the available runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft rolled out in a very good alignment, consuming a total of 10 kg of fuel for the 6 nm flight, which took approximately 4 minutes to complete.

The aircraft touched down on runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in the landing phase. The approach quality was excellent, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 66 kt, well within the acceptable range. The aircraft maintained a steady descent, touching down at a speed of 52 kt, which was also within the desired parameters. The touchdown rate of -97 fpm was particularly noteworthy, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.
The touchdown point was 129 m beyond the touchdown zone, which, although not ideal, was still within the acceptable range. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centreline alignment throughout the rollout phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light wind of 1 kt from 270 °, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The crosswind and headwind components were negligible, further reducing the complexity of the landing.
The total landing distance of 775 m was 31% of the runway length, which is a respectable figure considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, with the aircraft maintaining its centreline alignment throughout the rollout phase.
