Departure
Arrival
Aircraft operations commenced in the vicinity of Yde, Provincie Drenthe, The Netherlands, as the Grumman AA-5A Traveler initiated its enroute climb. The aircraft ascended from an initial altitude of 18 feet above sea level to 1,001 feet, achieving a vertical gain of 983 feet in a mere 2 minutes while covering a horizontal distance of 2 nautical miles. This rapid ascent was indicative of the aircraft's efficient climb performance.
Following a brief period of level flight, the Grumman AA-5A Traveler began its enroute descent, commencing 1 mile southwest of Yde. The aircraft descended from 1,008 feet above sea level to 53 feet, a decrease of 955 feet in 2 minutes, while maintaining a consistent horizontal distance of 2 nautical miles. This controlled descent was a testament to the pilot's skill and the aircraft's stable flight characteristics.
The Grumman AA-5A Traveler subsequently landed on runway 23 at EHGG Groningen Airport Eelde, a 2,493-meter-long runway that provided a suitable platform for the aircraft's touchdown. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the threshold speed of 47 knots was well below the target value, necessitating caution to avoid stalling. The aircraft's touchdown distance of 113 meters was within acceptable limits, and the touchdown speed of 34 knots was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate of -219 feet per minute was somewhat below optimal. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 1 knot from 269°, contributed to a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance of 4 nautical miles was covered in 3 minutes, and the aircraft consumed 1 kilogram of fuel during the operation.
