Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 9,858 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,069 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Horten Ho229 aircraft departed from runway 20 at UKRB Krasny Yar Airport, a relatively short takeoff roll of 585 feet, which accounted for only 31% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 80 knots, indicating a smooth and efficient takeoff. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 47 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 170 degrees, resulting in a negligible crosswind and headwind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began to ascend from an initial altitude of 561 feet above sea level to a height of 1,341 feet, a vertical gain of 780 feet in just 1 minute. This rapid climb was achieved while covering a distance of 2 nautical miles, demonstrating the aircraft's impressive rate of ascent. Following this initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude for 2 minutes while covering a distance of 6 nautical miles.
The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from a height of 1,292 feet above sea level to a height of 487 feet, a vertical gain of 805 feet in 2 minutes. This climb was achieved while covering a distance of 6 nautical miles, further showcasing the aircraft's climbing capabilities. The final approach to runway 15 at UWWW Kurumoch International Airport was initiated from a northeasterly heading, with the aircraft descending from an altitude of 63 feet above ground level.
The landing on runway 15 was executed with precision, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 68 knots and a distance of 1,064 feet. The touchdown rate was fair at -238 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were similar to those at departure, with a temperature of 47 degrees Fahrenheit and a gentle wind of 4 knots from a direction of 170 degrees.
In total, the flight covered a distance of 14 nautical miles, taking approximately 6 minutes to complete. The aircraft consumed 57 pounds of fuel during the flight, indicating a relatively efficient use of resources. Overall, the flight demonstrated the Horten Ho229's impressive climbing and descending capabilities, as well as its ability to navigate various weather conditions with precision and control.
The Horten Ho 229, a German experimental tailless aircraft, has successfully landed at Kurumoch International Airport, located in UWWW, with a score of 97.6%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north-east, heading 169.0° at an altitude of 63 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
The landing was executed on runway 15, which has a length of 9,858 feet. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct height as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was above the target speed, coming in at 87 knots. This may have been due to the aircraft's design or the pilot's decision to prioritize a safe landing over a precise speed.
The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits, measuring 1,064 feet. This suggests that the aircraft's descent and landing were well-controlled, and the pilot was able to bring the aircraft down smoothly. The touchdown speed of 68 knots was also good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively before touching down on the runway.
However, the touchdown rate of -238 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. A lower touchdown rate would have been more desirable, as it would have indicated a more controlled and gentle landing. Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway as it touched down.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 47°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from 170°. The crosswind component was minimal, at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 4 knots. These conditions would have made the landing relatively straightforward, and the pilot would have had a good opportunity to execute a safe and controlled touchdown.
