Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 23L at Edwards Air Force Base, where the aircraft, a Mig-29 fighter, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 172 knots. The takeoff distance was 2,086 feet, which was 14% of the runway length. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 61 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 270 degrees, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 3-knot headwind.

As the aircraft climbed away from the base, it began its enroute climb 1 mile southeast of Edwards Air Force Base, rising from an altitude of 3,315 feet above sea level to 6,837 feet above sea level in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 11 nautical miles. The climb was a steep one, with an increase of 3,522 feet in altitude.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which started 4 miles southeast of Rosamond, California. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 6 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 2 miles south of L00 Rosamond, descending from an altitude of 7,367 feet above sea level to 5,180 feet above sea level in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which started 6 miles southeast of Mojave Airport, Mojave, California. This phase lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 17 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 23R at Edwards Air Force Base, flying from the northeast at a heading of 239.0 degrees and an altitude of 1,419 feet above ground level.

The aircraft then executed a go-around from a height of 0 feet above ground level, before making a final approach to runway 23R. The landing was made on the runway, which was 11,982 feet long, and the aircraft touched down at a speed of 152 knots. The touchdown point was 499 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -104 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 feet from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 59 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 4 knots from a direction of 265 degrees, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 3-knot headwind. The total landing distance was 4,510 feet, which was 38% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.

The total flight distance was 63 nautical miles, and the flight lasted for 14 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -8 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Landing Summary

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.
