Taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Ikaria Airport (LGIK) was a swift process, taking less than a minute to cover the short distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The FA18E SuperHornet then began its departure roll on runway 33, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 182 kt. The takeoff distance of 753 meters accounted for 54% of the runway length, a relatively efficient performance given the local weather conditions. A temperature of 22 °C and a headwind of 8 kt at 292 ° contributed to the aircraft's ability to achieve liftoff quickly.

As the aircraft climbed away from Ikaria Island, it transitioned into an enroute climb phase, ascending from 967 ft to 31,276 ft over a distance of 39 nautical miles in 6 minutes. This marked the beginning of a long and efficient climb, which would ultimately see the aircraft reach a cruising altitude of 31,276 ft. The enroute level cruise phase followed, lasting 11 minutes and covering 94 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, descending from 30,245 ft to 429 ft over a distance of 29 nautical miles in 7 minutes. The final approach to runway 19 at Skiathos Island National Airport (LGSK) was initiated from the north, with the aircraft aligning with the runway at 1 nautical mile and 373 ft above ground level.

The landing on runway 19 was a complex process, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 134 kt, slightly above the target threshold speed of 143 kt. The touchdown distance of 133 meters was good, but the touchdown rate of -606 fpm was heavy. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 4.3 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 9.7 meters from the centreline. Despite these minor issues, the total landing distance of 694 meters accounted for 44% of the runway length, a respectable performance given the local weather conditions. The total flight distance of 164 nautical miles was completed in 26 minutes, with a fuel consumption of -4 kg.

Landing on runway 19 at LGSK Skiathos Island National Airport in the FA18E SuperHornet

Landing Score 90.42 %

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 19 at LGSK Skiathos Island National Airport from the north was executed with a heading of 197.0° at 1 nm and 373 ft above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was a little below the target at 143 kt, indicating a slight deviation from the optimal speed profile.

As the aircraft touched down on the runway, the touchdown distance was good at 133 m, but the touchdown speed of 134 kt was a little fast. This resulted in a heavy touchdown rate of -606 fpm, which may have contributed to the slight misalignment of the runway touchdown position by 4.3 m from the centreline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 17 °C and a light wind of 2 kt at 310°, did not significantly impact the landing.

The total landing distance of 694 m was 44% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.7 m from the centreline, which may have been a result of the heavy touchdown rate. Overall, the landing was scored 90.4%, reflecting a good performance with some minor deviations from the optimal landing profile.
