Landing on runway 04 at YMES RAAF Base East Sale in the Boom XB-1 [Preset Default]

Landing Score 83.86 %

Landing Summary

The Boom XB-1 aircraft successfully landed on runway 04 at YMES RAAF Base East Sale, achieving a score of 83.9%. The final approach was initiated from the south-west, heading 50.0° at 2 nautical miles and 647 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 164 knots, indicating a controlled descent. The touchdown distance of 135 meters was also within acceptable limits, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude. However, the touchdown speed of 153 knots was slightly higher than the target, which may have contributed to the heavy touchdown rate of -961 feet per minute (fpm).

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centreline, which may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 20°C and a wind speed of 3 knots at 227°, were relatively calm, with a slight tailwind of 3 knots. The crosswind component was negligible, which suggests that the wind did not significantly impact the landing.

The total landing distance of 1,058 meters was 44% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centreline, which may indicate a slight deviation in the pilot's control inputs during the rollout phase.

Overall, the Boom XB-1 aircraft demonstrated a good level of performance during the landing, with some minor deviations from the target parameters. The pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and altitude was evident, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown speed and runway alignment.
