Flight narrative

This flight involved a unique aircraft known as the Black Square Starship, registered as N45FL. The flight began with a 16-minute taxi session from the parking spot to the runway at Laconia Municipal Airport (KLCI), covering a distance of 3 nautical miles (nm). After clearing the necessary checks, the departure roll on runway 26 kicked off, and the aircraft successfully lifted off the ground with a takeoff distance of 3,638 feet, which is 65% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was noted at 114 knots (kt).

Local weather conditions at the moment of departure were characterized by a temperature of 65°F and a gentle headwind of 8 kt blowing from 210°. Taking these factors into account, the aircraft initiated a climb 1 mile southwest of KLCI Laconia Municipal Airport, which is nestled within the New Hampshire landscape. As the aircraft ascended, it rose from 1,556 feet above sea level (asl) to a maximum height of 20,430 ft asl, an increase of 18,874 feet over a distance of 21 nm within 9 minutes.

Subsequently, the Black Square Starship transitioned into a cruise phase, where it leveled off at an altitude of 20,430 ft asl and flew over the town of Wilmot in New Hampshire. The enroute level cruise lasted for 38 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 161 nm.

However, before proceeding further, the aircraft underwent another climb phase 5 miles southeast of Roscoe in New York. During this maneuver, it ascended from 20,503 ft asl to a maximum height of 24,473 ft asl, a rise of 3,971 feet in just 3 minutes over a distance of 14 nm.

Subsequently, the aircraft entered another phase of cruise, flying level at an altitude of 24,689 ft asl and covering a distance of 307 nm within 70 minutes while hovering near the Lake Huntington area in the state of New York.

As the flight progressed towards its concluding stages, the Black Square Starship initiated its descent from a height of 24,689 ft asl to 2,506 ft asl over the town of Buena Vista in Virginia. This significant descent, covering a distance of 35 nm, was completed within 8 minutes.

The final approach to runway 24 at Roanoke–Blacksburg Regional Airport (KROA), located in the state of Virginia, began around 4 nm from the runway threshold at an altitude of 1,342 feet above ground level. The aircraft flew in from the northeast at a heading of 232.0°, navigating a route aligned with the runway.

Upon landing on runway 24, which measures 5,994 feet in length, the aircraft had an excellent threshold height. The threshold speed was noted to be slightly higher than the targeted speed, clocking in at 115 kt. Despite this minor discrepancy, the aircraft managed a smooth touchdown, bringing its descent to a stop within 1,173 feet of the runway. Furthermore, its touchdown speed of 104 kt and descent rate of -39 feet per minute were both perfect.

The aircraft touched down slightly misaligned with the runway's centerline by 14 feet to the right. Locally, the weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 78°F and a gentle headwind of 4 kt, blowing from 269°.

In total, the Black Square Starship N45FL covered a distance of 546 nautical miles during this flight, which lasted for 139 minutes, and consumed 1,941 pounds of fuel.

Landing Summary

The aircraft identified as Black Square Starship N45FL successfully completed a landing at KROA Roanoke–Blacksburg Regional Airport. This accomplishment is particularly notable considering the challenging conditions and precision required for a flawless landing. The aircraft was approaching runway 24 from the north-east, adhering to a heading of 232.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,342 feet above ground level (agl).

Throughout the final approach, the aircraft maintained good control, and its pilot demonstrated exceptional skill and technique. The threshold height was satisfactory, and the speed upon touching down was slightly above the target at 115 knots. This indicates that the pilot made deliberate adjustments to ensure a smooth landing, rather than attempting to achieve an exact target speed.

The touchdown distance of 1,173 feet was within acceptable parameters, showcasing the aircraft's stable and predictable flight characteristics. The touchdown speed, at 104 knots, was also within the desired range, signifying a proper application of descent and speed control. Furthermore, the touchdown rate of -39 feet per minute (fpm) was spot-on, demonstrating precise control of the aircraft's vertical motion.

While the landing was remarkably successful, there was a small deviation from the optimal touchdown position, with the aircraft landing 14 feet off the centerline. Despite this minor discrepancy, the overall performance of the aircraft and its pilot remains impressive, given the challenging conditions present during the landing.

On a final note, the local weather conditions during the landing were benign, with a pleasant temperature of 78 °F and a gentle wind of 5 knots at 269°. The crosswind component was a mere 3 knots, while the headwind component was 4 knots, both of which contributed to a relatively straightforward and safe landing. The combination of a skilled pilot and a favorable weather situation enabled the successful completion of this challenging aircraft landing.
