The Mig-29 fighter aircraft successfully landed on runway 23R at KEDW Edwards Air Force Base, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its landing capabilities. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-east, heading 239.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,419 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with precision, as indicated by the good threshold height and the touchdown speed of 152 kt, which was slightly below the threshold speed of 171 kt.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's descent rate was smooth, at -104 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a well-controlled and stable landing. However, the touchdown point was 499 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which may be considered a slight deviation from the ideal landing spot. Nevertheless, the runway touchdown position was only slightly misaligned by 21 feet from the centreline, demonstrating a high degree of control and precision during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 59°F and a gentle wind of 4 kt at 265°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 kt, while the headwind component was 3 kt, which would have had a negligible impact on the aircraft's landing performance. The total landing distance of 4,510 feet was 38% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance, which is a testament to the aircraft's excellent landing capabilities.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing and rollout phases. Overall, the Mig-29's landing performance was impressive, with a high degree of precision and control, making it a successful and safe landing.
