Top opportunity

Improve the touchdown

Arrival Touchdown

There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Flight narrative

A F-35A Lightning II departed RAAF Base Amberley, rolling down runway 15 and accelerating to liftoff speed of 148 knots in a distance of 883 meters, which accounted for 29% of the available runway. The aircraft lifted off into a local weather scenario characterized by a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and a moderate wind of 15 knots from an 85-degree bearing. This resulted in a crosswind component of 15 knots and a headwind component of 4 knots, which presented a manageable challenge for the pilots.

As the F-35A Lightning II transitioned from the takeoff phase to the climb phase, it began to ascend into the local atmosphere. The pilots maintained control of the aircraft, navigating through the wind conditions and making adjustments as necessary to ensure a stable and efficient climb. The aircraft's advanced avionics and flight control systems played a crucial role in this phase, allowing the pilots to optimize the climb profile and minimize fuel consumption.

The F-35A Lightning II completed its short flight, covering a total distance of 1 nautical mile in approximately 2 minutes. During this time, the aircraft consumed 791 kilograms of fuel, a relatively efficient performance considering the short duration of the flight. The pilots successfully completed the flight, demonstrating the aircraft's capabilities in a variety of operating conditions.

Landing Score 57.67 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing 777-300 touched down on runway 04L at KDTW Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport with a satisfactory approach quality, despite a slightly above-target threshold speed of 151 kt. The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, allowing for a smooth transition into the touchdown phase. The touchdown distance of 251 m was within acceptable limits, but the touchdown speed of 146 kt was a little faster than desired, resulting in a very heavy touchdown rate of -710 fpm.

The aircraft's centreline alignment during the rollout phase was excellent, with the aircraft staying precisely on the centreline. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a high degree of control and precision during the post-landing phase. The total landing distance of 1,769 m was 58% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range for a commercial airliner of this size.

The overall performance of the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 93.6%. The good threshold height, perfect centreline alignment, and very good runway rollout alignment all contributed to a smooth and controlled landing. However, the slightly above-target threshold speed and the heavy touchdown rate were areas for improvement. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 12 °C and a light headwind of 2 kt, were favorable for the landing.
