Landing on runway 13 at FHAW RAF Ascension Island in the Avro Vulcan B2

Landing Score 91.43 %

Landing Summary

The Avro Vulcan B2 aircraft successfully landed at FHAW RAF Ascension Island, achieving a score of 91.4%. The final approach to runway 13 was initiated from the west, heading 116.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,525 feet above ground level.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with the threshold speed being slightly above the target at 152 knots. The touchdown point was located 470 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. However, the touchdown speed of 135 knots was considered good, indicating a controlled descent.

The aircraft's touchdown rate of -225 feet per minute was fair, suggesting that the pilot may have been able to improve the rate of descent to achieve a smoother landing. Additionally, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.7 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as wind or pilot error.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from 141°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 16 knots, which may have affected the aircraft's approach and landing.

The total landing distance of 2,271 meters was 74% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft achieving a good touchdown speed and a controlled rollout. However, there were some minor deviations from the intended landing spot and a slightly high touchdown rate, which may indicate areas for improvement in the pilot's technique.
