Arrival
The flight began with a departure roll from runway 10 at LFRC Cherbourg-Maupertus Airport, where the M2K-C Black Demonstrator aircraft took off. The takeoff distance covered 1,022 meters, which is 42% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 200 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 50 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Gonneville, a location in Normandie, France. The climb began at an altitude of 1,477 feet above sea level and reached a height of 842 feet above sea level, resulting in an increase of 635 feet in just 2 minutes. During this climb, the aircraft covered a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 10 at LFRC Cherbourg-Maupertus Airport was made from the west, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 100.0 degrees at a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway and at an altitude of 389 feet above ground level.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 10, which has a length of 2,434 meters. The threshold height at the time of landing was slightly above the target height, and the threshold speed was 186 knots. The touchdown point was located 521 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 144 knots. However, the touchdown rate was very hard, with a rate of -556 feet per minute. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 14 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 50 degrees. The crosswind and headwind components were 5 and 4 knots, respectively.

The M2K-C Black Demonstrator aircraft successfully landed at LFRC Cherbourg-Maupertus Airport, but the landing was not without its challenges. The aircraft approached the runway from the west, heading 100.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 389 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 10, which has a length of 2,434 meters.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down 521 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating that the pilot may have misjudged the distance to the runway or experienced a slight delay in touchdown. The touchdown speed was recorded at 144 knots, which is slightly above the threshold speed of 186 knots. However, the touchdown rate was particularly hard, with a descent rate of -556 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the aircraft may have been experiencing a high rate of descent, which could be due to a variety of factors such as a high approach speed or a failure to flare properly.
In addition to the hard touchdown, the aircraft also experienced a slight misalignment with the runway centerline, with the touchdown position being 8.2 meters off-center. This could be due to a variety of factors, including a crosswind or a failure to maintain a steady heading during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 14°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was 5 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions were not particularly challenging, and the pilot should have been able to maintain a stable approach and landing.
Overall, while the landing was successful, it was not without its challenges. The hard touchdown and misaligned touchdown position suggest that the pilot may need to work on their approach and landing techniques to improve the safety and efficiency of the aircraft.
