Lifted off at 139 kt with 4.0° of pitch.

How to read this

Two traces from brake release: the airspeed on top, and below it the pitch, which is how far the nose is above the horizon. The figure at liftoff is the pitch then.

How to read this

The takeoff from the side: the height above the runway against the distance along it. The numbers along the runway are the speeds reached at each point. Lifting off in the amber last quarter of the runway costs marks for the roll length.

The stabilisation gates

One stabilised approach gate: seven checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.

Seven checks, one gate500 ft
Gear down
Landing flap
Sink rate

Wings level

At the 500 ft gate: no landing flap set, sink rate more than 600 fpm beyond what the glideslope needed, glideslope more than 1° off the runway's 3°, wings more than 10° from level and speed more than 21 kt above the approach speed of 138 kt.

When the approach was stable

Never every check met at once: no landing flap all the way, left of the centreline until 1.8 nm, high until 1.6 nm, banked until 1.4 nm, sinking too fast until 1.0 nm, slow from 0.2 nm to the threshold.

How to read this

Each line is one of the gate checks, run along the whole final rather than only at the gates: green where it would have passed, amber where it would not. The glideslope, centreline and speed lines use the bands in the charts beside this card. The sink rate is allowed what the glideslope needs at your ground speed plus 600 fpm, the wings 10° of bank, and the gear and flap are read from when you moved the levers. The bottom line is green where every check held at once, ignoring blips shorter than 0.2 nm, and the sentence above it says from where it held to the threshold. A ring is a stabilisation gate, where the checks in the table were taken.

High from 2.0 nm, where the final began, to 1.6 nm (up to 430 ft over), then back on it to the threshold.

How to read this

Your height above the runway against the distance still to go. The glideslope is the steady descent path to the aiming point, 1,000 ft past the threshold: 3° here, which is about 320 ft for every nautical mile out, crossing the threshold at about 50 ft. The row under the distances is the height it puts you at. Inside the green band your path is drawn green; outside it, amber. A ring is a stabilisation gate: green when every check there passed, amber with the failed checks named beside it.

How to read this

Looking down from above, flying left to right towards the runway: up the page is left of the centreline, down is right. Sideways distances are stretched so that small drifts show, so a line that looks wild here may be only a few tens of feet. The labels are how far off you were at each distance, amber when outside the band.

Speed against the approach speed. The green band runs from 5 kt slow to 35 kt fast at the 1,000 ft gate, closing to 21 at 500 ft and 10 at the threshold.

Fast from 2.0 nm, where the final began, to 0.8 nm (up to +58 kt), then inside the band to 0.2 nm, then slow to the threshold (up to −10 kt).

How to read this

Your indicated airspeed down the final, against the approach speed for this aircraft at its landing weight. The band allows 5 kt slow and more on the fast side further out, closing as you get lower, because the speed is expected to come off on the way down. The figures are knots above (+) or below (−) the approach speed.

The crosswind

Calm: nothing to correct for. Touched down straight, wings level.

How to read this

The wind is the one recorded at the landing, split along the runway (headwind or tailwind) and across it. To hold the centreline in a crosswind the nose points a little into wind - the crab - and is straightened with rudder just before the wheels touch, often with the into-wind wing lowered to stop the drift. These are the nose against the direction you were actually moving, and the wings, at the moment of touchdown. Shown for reading; not marked.

Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.

Crossed the threshold at 43 ft, close to the 50 ft target. Touched down 2,014 ft in, 1,014 ft past the ideal 1,000 ft.

How to read this

The last stretch of the approach and the touchdown, from the side. The height is stretched so that the last few feet show: 80 ft top to bottom, against 5,000 ft across. The dashed line is the ideal, 50 ft over the threshold and down 1,000 ft in. The flare ring is where you began raising the nose, and "descent slowed" is where the sink came off; the figures beside them are the sink rate, pitch and speed at that point.

Sink and pitch — through the flare, lined up with the side view.

The sink went from 470 fpm at 40 ft to 150 fpm at touchdown. The nose came up 1.5° on the way down.

How to read this

Lined up with the side view above, so a point on one sits under the same point of the other. On top, how fast you were coming down: 0 is level, and −600 is 600 ft a minute down. Below, the pitch. In a flare the nose comes up and the descent slows towards 0. The figure at the touchdown line is your touchdown rate.

Flight narrative

The B-2 Spirit aircraft took off from runway 01 at Whiteman Air Force Base, which is located at KSZL. The departure was smooth, requiring only 3,896 ft of runway to lift off at 31% of the available runway length. The aircraft's liftoff speed was 140 kt.

As it departed Whiteman Air Force Base, the B-2 Spirit began its enroute climb, gradually increasing its altitude from 1,284 ft above sea level to 1,301 ft, an ascent of 17 ft over a period of 2 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 3 nm.

After its climb, the aircraft started its final approach to runway 01 at Whiteman Air Force Base, coming in from the south with a heading of 10.0 degrees and at an altitude of 427 ft above ground level, located 1 nm away from the runway.

Upon landing, the B-2 Spirit demonstrated good control and adherence to the landing procedures. The threshold speed was spot on at 128 kt, and the touchdown speed of 122 kt was satisfactory. The touchdown point was also located 655 ft beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown rate of -158 fpm was well within acceptable limits. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.

The aircraft landed on runway 01, which is 12,413 ft long, using 36% of the available runway. The local weather conditions at this time were comfortable, with a temperature of 86 °F and no wind at all, measuring 0 kt. This facilitated a steady and controlled landing.

Following the landing, the aircraft executed a perfect rollout alignment on the runway. The total landing distance was 4,493 ft, and the total flight distance taken was 6 nm. Notably, the aircraft consumed -30 lbs of fuel during this flight, resulting in an efficient performance.

The entire flight took 4 minutes to complete, and the B-2 Spirit, a highly advanced aircraft, demonstrated its exceptional capabilities in terms of maneuverability and control during both the takeoff and landing phases.
