Departing from an undisclosed location, the Antonov An-2 began its enroute climb phase as it ascended from a low altitude of 22 feet above sea level to 1,000 feet above sea level, achieving a notable increase of 978 feet in just 2 minutes while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This rapid ascent allowed the aircraft to reach a suitable cruising altitude, setting the stage for the enroute level cruise phase.
As the aircraft leveled off, it entered a 2-minute cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude of approximately 1,000 feet above sea level while covering another 2 nautical miles. Following this brief period of steady flight, the enroute descent phase commenced, during which the aircraft descended from 953 feet above sea level to 250 feet above sea level, a decrease of 702 feet in just 2 minutes, once again covering a distance of 2 nautical miles. This controlled descent prepared the aircraft for its final approach to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde.
The Antonov An-2 executed a precise final approach from the north-east, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 231.0° and an altitude of 235 feet above ground level, approximately 1 nautical mile from the threshold. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 36 knots, with a touchdown distance of 261 meters, well within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate of -195 feet per minute was also satisfactory, and the runway touchdown alignment was perfect. Following a smooth rollout, the aircraft came to a stop, having used a total of 8 kilograms of fuel for the 6-nautical-mile flight, which lasted approximately 5 minutes.
