Touched down at -125 ft/m — a soft arrival
Touchdown 299 ft in — inside the full-score zone
Threshold crossed at 3 ft and 87 kt — both inside band

What held you back

Enroute Descent — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; bank angle up to 73.5 ° at 33 %, speed limits at 35 %, −6.26 points
Departure Climb 3 — bank angle up to 21.5 ° at 49 %, −0.68 points
Arrival Final 3 — GPWS warning; Approach angle 3.3 ° at 79 %, bank angle up to 7.9 ° at 87 %, −0.39 points

Top opportunity

Slow the descent speed

Enroute Descent

Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

The aircraft then proceeded to depart from runway 08R, with a takeoff distance of 844 feet, which accounted for 12% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 80 knots.

As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 74°F and winds blowing at 12 knots from a direction of 96°. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 12 knots. After departing from the Spirit of St. Louis Airport, the aircraft began its enroute climb, which started overhead the airport and took it to an altitude of 37,393 feet above sea level. This climb covered a distance of 54 nautical miles and took 10 minutes, with the aircraft ascending by 35,874 feet.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began 6 miles south of Bland, Missouri. This phase lasted for 88 minutes and covered a distance of 317 nautical miles. The aircraft then started its enroute descent, which began overhead Soper, Oklahoma, and took it down to an altitude of 2,278 feet above sea level. This descent covered a distance of 84 nautical miles and took 16 minutes, with the aircraft descending by 35,025 feet.

The final approach to the runway at KADS Addison Airport was made from the north, with the aircraft heading in a direction of 160.0°. The approach was made at an altitude of 1,604 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 16, which had a length of 5,453 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was well above the target speed at 88 knots.

The touchdown distance was good at 295 feet, and the touchdown speed was 78 knots, which was also good. The touchdown rate was smooth at -126 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 94°F and winds blowing at 11 knots from a direction of 143°. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 11 knots.

The total landing distance was 997 feet, which accounted for 18% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway, which took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 461 nautical miles, and the flight took 68 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 1,134 pounds of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 16 at KADS Addison Airport in the Horten Ho229
Landing Score 97.68 %
Landing Summary

The Horten Ho 229 aircraft successfully landed at KADS Addison Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its flight operations. The final approach to runway 16 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 160.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,604 feet above ground level.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 78 knots, which was well within the target range. The touchdown distance of 295 feet was also satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The aircraft's touchdown rate of -126 feet per minute was particularly noteworthy, as it demonstrated a high degree of precision and control during the landing phase.

However, there were a few minor issues with the landing. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 11 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the aircraft's approach path. Additionally, the threshold speed was above the target range at 88 knots, which may have been a result of the aircraft's high speed during the approach.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 94°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from 143°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 11 knots, which may have contributed to the aircraft's high threshold speed.

Despite these minor issues, the overall performance of the Horten Ho 229 during the landing was impressive. The total landing distance of 997 feet was only 18% of the runway length, indicating a high degree of precision and control during the landing phase. Furthermore, the runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the aircraft's ability to maintain a stable and controlled trajectory during the post-landing phase.

Overall, the landing of the Horten Ho 229 at KADS Addison Airport was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its flight operations. While there were a few minor issues with the landing, the aircraft's overall performance was impressive, and it is clear that the pilots have a good understanding of the aircraft's capabilities and limitations.
