Next time

Departure

Add power to maintain the target climb speed as you continue the climb.

What happened: Climb speed fell well below the target during the climb out, sagging during the initial climb.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator: the target climb speed

See Departure Climb 2

Arrival

Add power on short final to hold 69 kt at the threshold rather than letting speed decay.

What happened: You crossed the threshold at 56 kt against a target of 69 kt, below reference speed.

Watch for: Airspeed indicator, hold 69 kt down to the threshold.

See Arrival Landing

A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

Flight narrative

Departing from Groningen Airport Eelde, the Grumman AA-5A Cheetah began its takeoff roll on runway 23, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 69 kt in 1,064 meters, which accounted for 43% of the available runway length. The aircraft lifted off into a calm local weather environment, with a temperature of 20 °C and a gentle headwind of 3 kt from 231°.

As the aircraft entered the left-hand traffic pattern, it maintained a steady pace, completing the downwind turn in 2 nautical miles and the downwind leg in 97 seconds. The base leg turn and base leg itself were executed efficiently, with the aircraft maintaining a consistent angle to the runway. The final turn was completed in a mere 16 seconds, setting the stage for a smooth final approach. The aircraft touched down on runway 23 at a speed of 43 kt, with a touchdown distance of 189 meters and a smooth touchdown rate of -104 fpm. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft coming to rest within 17% of the available runway length.

Following a successful landing, the Grumman AA-5A Cheetah taxied off the runway, using a total of 415 meters of runway. Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.2 meters from the centerline, the overall performance of the aircraft was impressive. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, completed in 8 minutes, and the aircraft used a mere -7 kg of fuel during the flight.
