The F-35C Lightning aircraft has successfully landed at KSMO Santa Monica Municipal Airport, but with some notable areas for improvement. The final approach to runway 21 was initiated from the north east, heading 225.0° at 2 nautical miles and 676 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's performance during the landing was evaluated, and it scored 72.7%.
One of the key areas of concern was the threshold height, which was significantly above the target height at 80 feet agl. This indicates that the aircraft may have been too high during the approach, potentially leading to a longer landing distance. Additionally, the threshold speed was excessively high at 345 knots, which is above the recommended landing speed for the F-35C. This could have resulted in a longer touchdown distance and potentially compromised the aircraft's stability during the landing.
On a positive note, the touchdown distance was good at 273 feet, and the touchdown speed of 147 knots was within the recommended range. However, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -819 feet per minute (fpm), which is higher than the recommended rate. This could have resulted in a rough ride for the aircraft and potentially caused damage to the landing gear.
The runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing. The local weather conditions were also favorable, with a temperature of 66°F and a headwind of 9 knots at 244°. The crosswind was minimal at 3 knots, which helped to reduce the landing distance.
The total landing distance was 1,772 feet, which is 36% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase.
Overall, while the F-35C Lightning aircraft performed well during the landing, there are areas for improvement, particularly with regards to the threshold height and speed. With some adjustments to the approach and landing technique, the aircraft can achieve a more optimal landing performance.
