The F-117 Nighthawk took off from runway 05R at Edwards Air Force Base, with a takeoff distance of 5,718 feet, which is 38% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 191 knots. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were a temperature of 60°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 36°, resulting in a 1-knot crosswind and a 3-knot headwind.

As the aircraft began its enroute climb, it started 1 mile east of Edwards Air Force Base and climbed from an altitude of 3,297 feet above sea level to 9,588 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,290 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 10 nautical miles. The climb was followed by a 2-minute level cruise, which started 9 miles west of the Sun Hill Ranch Airport and covered a distance of 11 nautical miles.

The enroute descent began 3 miles west of the Hansen Airport and lasted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft descended from 9,329 feet above sea level to 4,382 feet above sea level, a decrease of 4,947 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 25 at Palmdale Regional Airport was made from the east, heading 266.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,809 feet above ground level.

The F-117 Nighthawk landed on runway 25 at Palmdale Regional Airport, which has a length of 11,968 feet. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also good at 192 knots. The touchdown distance was 1,407 feet, and the touchdown speed was 181 knots, both of which were good. However, the touchdown rate was very hard at -557 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 32 feet from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 50°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 131°, resulting in a 2-knot crosswind and a 2-knot tailwind. The total landing distance was 3,587 feet, which is 30% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 35 feet from the centreline. The aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

Landing on runway 25 at KPMD Palmdale Regional Airport / USAF Plant 42 Airport in the F-117 Nighthawk

Landing Score 92.04 %

Landing Summary

The F-117 Nighthawk, a stealth attack aircraft, successfully landed at KPMD Palmdale Regional Airport / USAF Plant 42 Airport, achieving a score of 92.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 266.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,809 feet above ground level (agl).

The final approach to runway 25 was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 192 knots, which was within the acceptable threshold speed. The touchdown distance of 1,407 feet was also within the expected range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the touchdown rate was quite hard, at -557 feet per minute (fpm), which may have caused some stress on the aircraft's landing gear.

Despite the hard touchdown rate, the aircraft's landing performance was generally good, with the touchdown speed of 181 knots being within the acceptable range. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 32 feet, which may have required some corrective action from the pilot.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 50°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from 131°. The crosswind and tailwind components were both minimal, at 2 knots each, which did not pose a significant challenge to the landing.

The total landing distance of 3,587 feet was 30% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 35 feet, which may have required some corrective action from the pilot to maintain directional control.

Overall, the F-117 Nighthawk's landing at KPMD Palmdale Regional Airport / USAF Plant 42 Airport was a successful one, with a score of 92.0%. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate and runway alignment, the aircraft's overall performance was good, and the landing was executed with precision and control.
