The flight began with the P-38L Lightning taxiing from the parking area to the runway at PHNG Kaneohe Bay MCAS (Marion E. Carl Field) Airport. This process took approximately 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then proceeded to depart from runway 04, with a takeoff distance of 552 feet, which accounted for 7% of the runway's total length. The liftoff speed was achieved at 95 knots.

As the aircraft entered the traffic pattern, it followed a right-hand pattern entry from runway 04. The distance covered during this maneuver was less than 1 nautical mile, and it took approximately 9 seconds to complete. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind turn, covering a distance of 0 nautical miles. The angle to the runway was 43.6 degrees, and the turn was completed in a short distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 2 seconds.

The aircraft then entered the base leg turn, covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The angle to the runway was 25.9 degrees, and the turn was completed in a smooth manner. The final approach to runway 04 was made from the southwest, with a heading of 22.0 degrees at an altitude of 695 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 1 nautical mile from the runway.

The landing on runway 04 was successful, with a touchdown point located 182 feet beyond the touchdown zone. The touchdown speed was 63 knots, which was considered good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -136 feet per minute (fpm). However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 22 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 82°F and a wind speed of 10 knots at 70°, with a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 10 knots.

The total landing distance was 2,380 feet, which accounted for 31% of the runway's total length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The total flight distance was 4 nautical miles, and the flight used 48 pounds of fuel.

Landing on runway 04 at PHNG Kaneohe Bay MCAS (Marion E. Carl Field) Airport in the P-38L Lightning

Landing Score 90.94 %

Landing Summary

The aircraft in question is a P-38L Lightning, which successfully landed at PHNG Kaneohe Bay MCAS (Marion E. Carl Field) Airport. The final approach to runway 04 was initiated from the southwest, with a heading of 22.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 695 feet above ground level (agl). The pilot demonstrated good control and precision, achieving a threshold height and speed of 88 kt, which is within the acceptable range for a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 182 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 63 kt. This indicates a smooth and controlled descent, as the touchdown speed was well within the recommended range. The touchdown rate of -136 feet per minute (fpm) was also smooth, suggesting that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's descent and maintained a stable approach.

However, there was a slight deviation from the centerline during the rollout, with the aircraft being 22 feet off-center. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was deemed very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and stability throughout the landing process.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 82°F and a wind speed of 10 kt from a direction of 70°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 kt, while the headwind component was 10 kt, which would have assisted the pilot in maintaining a stable approach.

The total landing distance of 2,380 feet was 31% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot had effectively managed the aircraft's speed and descent, resulting in a safe and controlled landing. Overall, the landing was deemed successful, with a score of 90.9%.
