Departure
Arrival
The F-35C Lightning took off from runway 32L at KBFI Boeing Field King County International Airport, a departure roll that showcased the aircraft's impressive capabilities. The takeoff distance of 2,758 feet, which accounted for only 30% of the runway, demonstrated the F-35C's exceptional acceleration and power. The liftoff speed of 221 knots was achieved with ease, and the aircraft quickly gained altitude.
As the F-35C climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb, starting 2 miles south of Seattle. The aircraft rapidly ascended from 745 feet above sea level to 1,384 feet, an increase of 639 feet in just 1 minute, while covering 4 nautical miles. This impressive climb rate was a testament to the F-35C's advanced propulsion system and aerodynamic design.
Following the enroute climb, the F-35C entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile southwest of Medina. During this 2-minute period, the aircraft maintained a steady altitude and covered an additional 4 nautical miles. This stable cruise phase allowed the F-35C to conserve fuel and prepare for its descent.
As the F-35C began its enroute descent, it started 2 miles southwest of Seattle. The aircraft descended from 1,631 feet above sea level to 160 feet, a decrease of 1,471 feet in just 2 minutes, while covering 5 nautical miles. This controlled descent was a demonstration of the F-35C's advanced avionics and flight control systems.
The final approach to runway 32L at KBFI Boeing Field King County International Airport was initiated from the southeast, with the F-35C heading 330.0 degrees at an altitude of 127 feet above ground level. The aircraft maintained a steady approach path, and the landing was executed smoothly.
The F-35C landed on runway 32L, with a touchdown point 308 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed of 156 knots was well within the target range, and the touchdown rate of -145 feet per minute was smooth and controlled. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, and the aircraft's rollout alignment was perfect.
The total landing distance of 3,447 feet, which accounted for 38% of the runway, was a testament to the F-35C's exceptional braking and control capabilities. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind of 1 knot at 263 degrees, did not affect the landing.
The F-35C's total flight distance was 16 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -13 pounds of fuel during the flight, demonstrating its impressive fuel efficiency. Overall, the flight was a demonstration of the F-35C's exceptional performance, handling, and capabilities.

The F-35C Lightning aircraft successfully landed at KBFI Boeing Field King County International Airport, achieving a score of 98.9%. The final approach to runway 32L was conducted from the southeast, heading 330.0° at an altitude of 127 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold speed that was well above the target at 185 knots. This indicates a high level of control and precision during the landing. The touchdown point was 308 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance and suggests a good approach and landing technique.
The touchdown speed of 156 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -145 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is a critical factor in ensuring a safe and stable landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 1 knot from 263°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and headwind, making the landing even more challenging and impressive.
The total landing distance of 3,447 feet was 38% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot executed a precise and controlled approach, taking into account the aircraft's performance and the runway's length.
Finally, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot maintained control and stability during the landing and rollout phases. Overall, the F-35C Lightning's landing at KBFI Boeing Field King County International Airport was a testament to the aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's exceptional skills.
