Landing on runway 33 at KBAB Beale Air Force Base in the F-35C Lightning

Landing Score 99.8 %

Landing Summary

The F-35C Lightning aircraft successfully landed at KBAB Beale Air Force Base, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard operating procedures. The final approach to runway 33 from the south, heading 341.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,018 feet above ground level (agl), showcased the pilot's ability to navigate complex airspace and maintain a stable approach.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 150 knots, which was slightly below the target threshold speed. However, this minor deviation did not impact the overall performance of the landing. The touchdown distance of 268 meters was well within the acceptable range, and the touchdown speed of 138 knots was also satisfactory. The negative rate of descent at -191 feet per minute (fpm) was good, indicating a smooth and controlled touchdown.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 13°C and a wind speed of 8 knots from 239°. Although there was a crosswind component of 8 knots, the tailwind component of 2 knots was minimal, which helped to reduce the impact of the crosswind on the landing. The total landing distance of 1,650 meters, which accounted for 45% of the runway length, was reasonable considering the aircraft's performance and the weather conditions.

The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of the landing. Overall, the F-35C Lightning's landing at KBAB Beale Air Force Base was a success, with a score of 99.8% indicating an exceptional performance.
