Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Caudron Rafale C430 Museum began its takeoff roll on runway 05, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 93 kt in a distance of 1,464 m, which accounted for 59% of the available runway length. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 16 °C and a gentle wind of 1 kt from 270°, resulting in a negligible crosswind and tailwind component.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it demonstrated a swift and precise turn, completing the pattern entry in less than 1 nm in 26 seconds. The subsequent crosswind turn was equally impressive, with a distance of less than 1 nm covered in 23 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind turn, covering a distance of 3 nm at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a heading of 143.8°. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, with the aircraft descending to 98 ft above ground level (agl) at a heading of 48.0°.

The Caudron Rafale C430 Museum touched down on runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, with a touchdown speed of 67 kt and a rate of descent of -22 fpm, which was considered perfect. The touchdown point was 562 m beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 m from the centerline. The total landing distance was 1,611 m, accounting for 65% of the available runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, and the aircraft used a total of 3 kg of fuel for the 7nm flight, which took approximately 7 minutes to complete.

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the south west, heading 48.0 ° at 0 nm and 98 ft agl, was executed with good approach quality. The aircraft, Caudron Rafale C430 Museum, maintained a stable and controlled descent throughout the approach phase. The threshold height was satisfactory, allowing for a smooth transition to the landing phase.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft touched down 562 m beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 67 kt, with a touchdown rate of -22 fpm, which was perfect. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.5 m from the centreline. The threshold speed of 84 kt was achieved, indicating a well-executed landing phase. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15 °C and a wind of 1 kt at 270 °, contributed to a relatively calm landing environment.

The total landing distance of 1,611 m, which accounted for 65% of the runway length, was within acceptable limits. The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and direction during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was scored 86.2%, reflecting a good performance with some minor deviations from the ideal touchdown position.
