The Piper PA-28 Arrow III taxied to runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde and commenced the departure roll; the aircraft lifted off after a takeoff run of 792 m, representing 32 % of the runway, at a liftoff speed of 85 kt. Ambient conditions were 16 °C with a wind of 1 kt from 270°, giving a 1 kt headwind and a 1 kt cross-wind component.

A left-hand pattern entry was executed from runway 23, covering less than 1 nm in 107 seconds before joining the circuit.

The aircraft then proceeded onto the left-hand crosswind leg of the pattern, again covering less than 1 nm, this time in 20 seconds.

During the downwind turn the aircraft flew a 2 nm arc, turning at an angle of 45 degrees with a measured deviation of 3.6° to the runway heading.

The final approach to runway 05 was flown from the south-west on a heading of 46.0°, intercepting the approach at 2 nm distance and 606 ft above ground level.

Landing was made on runway 05, whose length is 2 493 m; the threshold speed was recorded at 81 kt, well above the target. Touchdown occurred 119 m beyond the designated touchdown zone at a speed of 60 kt, with a vertical speed of minus 57 fpm and a lateral offset of 3.6 m from the centreline. Local weather at landing was 17 °C with a wind of 11 kt from 209°, producing a 4 kt cross-wind and a 10 kt tail-wind component. The total landing roll measured 980 m, equivalent to 39 % of the runway, and the rollout alignment was judged very good.

In summary, the flight covered a total distance of 5 nm, required 5 units of time as reported, and consumed 0 kg of fuel.

Landing on runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde in the Piper PA-28 Arrow III

Landing Score 97.38 %

Landing Summary

The Piper PA-28 Arrow III conducted the final approach to runway 05 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde from the south-west, maintaining a heading of 46.0° at 2 nm and 606 ft agl. Ambient conditions were 17 °C with wind 11 kt from 209°, including a 4 kt cross-wind component and a 10 kt tail-wind component.

Good threshold height was observed, but the threshold speed was well above target at 81 kt.

Touchdown occurred 119 m beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 60 kt that was judged good and a touchdown rate of -57 fpm described as excellent. The aircraft’s touchdown point was slightly misaligned by 3.6 m from the centreline.

The total landing distance measured 980 m, representing 39 % of the 2 493 m runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.

The high approach speed should be reduced toward the intended target to minimise the overshoot beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown point should be aimed to fall within the prescribed zone to maintain optimal runway usage. Minor adjustments in speed management will further align the landing with the runway centreline and preserve the strong overall score of 97.4 %.
