Landing on runway 19 at BIRK Reykjavik Airport in the Horten Ho229

Landing Score 99.16 %

Landing Summary

The Horten Ho 229 aircraft successfully landed at BIRK Reykjavik Airport, demonstrating exceptional piloting skills and adherence to standard procedures. The final approach to runway 19 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 175.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 214 feet above ground level (agl).

As the aircraft descended onto the runway, it maintained a smooth touchdown rate of -140 feet per minute (fpm), indicating a well-executed landing. The touchdown speed of 68 knots was within the acceptable range, and the aircraft came to rest on the runway at a distance of 543 feet, which is considered good. The threshold speed was slightly above the target, registering at 85 knots, but this did not affect the overall performance of the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 50°F and a wind speed of 12 knots from a direction of 160°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The runway length of 4,847 feet was more than sufficient to accommodate the aircraft's landing distance, which was 929 feet, or 19% of the runway length.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained precise control of the aircraft during the final stages of the approach. The runway rollout alignment was also perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to smoothly transition from the landing phase to the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft coming to rest on the runway in a safe and controlled manner.
