Landing on runway 21R at KLSV Nellis Air Force Base in the DC Designs F4 Blue Angels

Landing Score 89.41 %

Landing Summary

The DC Designs F4 Blue Angels successfully landed on runway 21R at KLSV Nellis Air Force Base, showcasing a high level of proficiency in aviation skills. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 221.0° at 1 nm and 450 ft above ground level (agl), demonstrating a precise and controlled descent.

Upon reaching the threshold, the pilot maintained a good threshold height, adhering to standard operating procedures. The threshold speed of 250 kt was achieved, indicating a well-executed approach. However, the touchdown point was located very far down the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available 10,119 ft runway length. This suggests that the pilot may have been slightly conservative in their approach, or the aircraft's performance characteristics may have contributed to the longer touchdown point.

The touchdown speed of 154 kt was slightly higher than the typical touchdown speed for a F4 aircraft, but the touchdown rate of -180 fpm was good, indicating a controlled and stable descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain a precise course during the final stages of the approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 67°F and a wind speed of 7 kt at 140°. The crosswind component was 7 kt, while the headwind component was 1 kt, which may have contributed to the longer touchdown point. The total landing distance of 6,842 ft was 68% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively long rollout.

Despite the longer touchdown point, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was executed with a high level of proficiency, showcasing the pilot's skills and experience in operating the DC Designs F4 Blue Angels.
