Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Grumman AA-5A Cheetah began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 56 kt in a distance of 380 m, which represented 15% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off into a local weather environment characterized by a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind component.

As the aircraft transitioned to the enroute phase, it began a climb from 995 ft asl to 1,101 ft asl, achieving an increase of 106 ft in less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nm. The climb was followed by a brief level cruise phase, lasting 2 minutes and covering 2 nm, before the aircraft initiated a descent from 1,168 ft asl to 388 ft asl, a decrease of 780 ft in 2 minutes and covering 1 nm. This pattern of climb, cruise, and descent was repeated several times, with the aircraft reaching a maximum altitude of 2,692 ft asl during a climb from Yde. The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft descending from 2,704 ft asl to 763 ft asl in 3 minutes and covering 2 nm.

The Grumman AA-5A Cheetah touched down on runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, with a touchdown point located 208 m beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 34 kt, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -58 fpm. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 m from the centreline. The total flight distance was 12 nm, and the aircraft used 3 kg of fuel during the 11-minute flight.

Landing on runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde in the Grumman AA-5A Cheetah

Landing Score 75.09 %

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde was initiated from the north east, heading 231.0° at 1 nm and 740 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a threshold height of 171 ft agl, which was excessively over target. However, the aircraft maintained a stable descent and aligned itself with the runway, ultimately touching down at a speed of 34 kt.

The touchdown characteristics were impressive, with a touchdown rate of -58 fpm, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.6 m from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the approach path. The touchdown point was 208 m beyond the touchdown zone, which was slightly beyond the optimal landing area. Despite this, the aircraft maintained control and rolled out smoothly.

The rollout phase was uneventful, with the aircraft coming to a stop within the designated runway area. The overall score for this landing was 75.1%, reflecting a good but not exceptional performance. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a light headwind of 1 kt, contributed to a stable and predictable approach. The aircraft's performance was satisfactory, but there is room for improvement in terms of approach path alignment and touchdown zone accuracy.
