Departure
Arrival
The Hughes XF-11 aircraft began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took approximately 2 minutes and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 36L at the Orlando International Airport (KMCO), with a takeoff distance of 1,978 feet, which accounted for 16% of the runway. The liftoff speed was recorded at 185 knots.
As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 63°F and a wind speed of 11 knots at 290 degrees. The crosswind was also 11 knots, while the headwind was 4 knots. The enroute climb began approximately 1 mile northwest of the Orlando International Airport, where the aircraft ascended from an altitude of 1,106 feet above sea level to 6,870 feet above sea level, an increase of 5,764 feet in just 4 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
After reaching the desired altitude, the enroute descent started 2 miles east of the Walt Disney World Airport (KDWS) and Lake Buena Vista STOLport, where the aircraft descended from 6,829 feet above sea level to 540 feet above sea level, a decrease of 6,289 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 36L at the Orlando International Airport was made from the south, with a heading of 0.0 degrees at an altitude of 437 feet above ground level and 1 nautical mile from the runway. The landing was executed on the runway, which had a length of 12,043 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 140 knots.
The touchdown distance was recorded at 1,269 feet, which was considered good, while the touchdown speed was 109 knots, also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -450 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect. The local weather conditions during the landing were characterized by a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 6 knots at 20 degrees, with a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.
In conclusion, the Hughes XF-11 aircraft completed a total flight distance of 25 nautical miles, taking approximately 11 minutes to complete the journey. The aircraft used 420 pounds of fuel during the flight.

The Hughes XF-11 aircraft successfully completed a landing at KMCO Orlando International Airport, scoring 96.3% in the evaluation. The final approach to runway 36L was initiated from the south, with the aircraft maintaining a heading of 0.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 437 feet above ground level (agl).
The landing was executed on runway 36L, which has a length of 12,043 feet. The threshold height was reported as good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly above the target speed of 140 knots, which may have been due to various factors such as air density or the aircraft's performance.
The touchdown distance of 1,269 feet was considered good, indicating that the aircraft was able to maintain control and land smoothly. The touchdown speed of 109 knots was also within acceptable limits, suggesting that the pilot was able to manage the aircraft's descent and speed effectively. However, the touchdown rate of -450 feet per minute (fpm) was reported as hard, which may indicate that the aircraft touched down with a higher rate of descent than desired.
The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was aligned with the runway centerline at the moment of touchdown. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 61°F and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 20°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots, which may have helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, with the aircraft scoring 96.3% in the evaluation. However, the hard touchdown rate may be an area for improvement, and the pilot may need to work on managing the aircraft's descent and speed to achieve a smoother touchdown.
