What went well

Touched down at -67 fpm — a soft arrival
Touchdown 362 m in — inside the full-score zone
Straight touchdown — 1.18 m off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Pattern Base Leg — Heading 13.9 ° at 41 %, −1.27 points
Departure Roll — Landing Lights at 0 %, Takeoff Bounce at 80 %, −1.13 points
Arrival Landing — Threshold speed was well above target at 74 kt at 85 %, −0.31 points

Next time

Departure

Ease back pressure in smoothly as you approach 56 kt, holding a steady rotation rate rather than snatching the controls.

What happened: On the takeoff roll the aircraft bounced before becoming fully airborne.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: a smooth, continuous pitch-up through liftoff with no secondary bounce.

See Departure Roll

Arrival

Reduce power earlier on final to bleed speed back to 65 kt before crossing the threshold.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 74 kt, 9 kt above the 65 kt target.

Watch for: Airspeed, targeting 65 kt at the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

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

Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Grumman AA-5A Traveler began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 61 kt in a distance of 368 meters, which accounted for 15% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 15 °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 in less than 1 nm in 23 seconds. The subsequent downwind turn, base leg, and final turn were executed with precision, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent distance and angle to the runway. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, with the aircraft descending to an altitude of 246 ft above ground level (agl) at a heading of 231.0°. The landing was characterized by a good threshold height, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 41 kt and a distance of 364 meters, which represented 19% of the available runway length.

The landing was deemed excellent, with a touchdown rate of -72 fpm and perfect runway touchdown alignment. The runway rollout was also flawless, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment. The total landing distance of 484 meters was well within the acceptable limits. Notably, the aircraft consumed no fuel during the flight, which covered a distance of 7 nm in 6 minutes. Overall, the flight demonstrated a high level of proficiency and adherence to standard operating procedures.

Landing Summary

The Grumman AA-5A Traveler touched down smoothly on runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, showcasing exceptional approach quality. The aircraft descended from an altitude of 246 feet above ground level (agl) at 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold, aligning perfectly with the runway heading of 231.0°. The approach was characterized by a stable and controlled descent, culminating in a good threshold height.

As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it demonstrated a well-executed touchdown, with a speed of 41 knots and a touchdown distance of 364 meters. The touchdown rate of -72 feet per minute was particularly impressive, indicating a high degree of control and precision. The runway touchdown alignment was spot on, with the aircraft centered on the runway centerline. The threshold speed of 74 knots was slightly above the target, but this did not compromise the overall quality of the landing.

The rollout phase was equally impressive, with the aircraft maintaining perfect alignment with the runway centerline. The total landing distance of 484 meters, which accounted for just 19% of the runway length, was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's performance. Overall, the landing was deemed a success, with a final score of 98.4%. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a negligible headwind, also contributed to the smooth and controlled nature of the landing.
