Departure
Arrival
Departing from a location near Yde in the Provincie Drenthe, The Netherlands, the Grumman AA-5A Traveler initiated its enroute climb, rapidly ascending from an initial altitude of 16 feet above sea level to 983 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes. This impressive climb rate of 966 feet per minute allowed the aircraft to cover a distance of 2 nautical miles, setting the stage for a smooth and efficient flight.
As the aircraft leveled off, it entered a 3-minute enroute level cruise phase, during which it maintained a steady altitude and covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. This phase of the flight allowed the pilot to assess the aircraft's performance and make any necessary adjustments before beginning the final approach to Groningen Airport Eelde. The aircraft's approach was initiated from the north-east, with a heading of 231.0 degrees and an altitude of 239 feet above ground level.
The Grumman AA-5A Traveler successfully landed on runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, with a touchdown distance of 364 meters and a touchdown speed of 48 knots. Although the touchdown speed was slightly higher than optimal, the aircraft's descent rate of -63 feet per minute was excellent. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a gentle headwind of 3 knots, contributed to a smooth and controlled landing. The aircraft's total landing distance of 492 meters, which accounted for only 20% of the runway length, was a testament to its excellent handling characteristics. Following a perfect runway rollout alignment, the aircraft came to a stop, having used a mere 0 kilograms of fuel for the entire 6-nautical-mile flight, which lasted just 5 minutes.
