The Horten Ho 229 aircraft successfully landed at KOSH Wittman Regional Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its operation. The final approach to runway 09 was initiated from the west, with a heading of 88.0° at an altitude of 133 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a distance of 696 feet, which is considered good. However, the touchdown speed of 79 knots was slightly higher than ideal, indicating that the pilot could have applied more gentle braking to achieve a smoother touchdown. The touchdown rate of -95 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, demonstrating the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and maintain a stable approach.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully aligned the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 75°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from 85°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 7 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
The total landing distance of 1,605 feet was 28% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, indicating that the pilot had successfully controlled the aircraft's rotation and braking to maintain a stable and aligned path along the runway.
Overall, the landing of the Horten Ho 229 at KOSH Wittman Regional Airport was a success, demonstrating the aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's skills in operating it. However, there is still room for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and braking technique.
