Landing on runway 31 at LFRK Caen-Carpiquet Airport in the F-35C Lightning

Landing Score 87.13 %

Landing Summary

The F-35C Lightning aircraft successfully landed at LFRK Caen-Carpiquet Airport, achieving an overall score of 87.1%. The final approach to runway 31 was initiated from the south east, with a heading of 305.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,396 feet above ground level.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, with a threshold height slightly above the target at 55 feet above ground level. However, the threshold speed was satisfactory at 168 knots, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The touchdown point was located 242 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, which may indicate a slight deviation from the intended landing path.

The touchdown speed of 132 knots was within the acceptable range, demonstrating a well-executed landing. However, the touchdown rate of -224 feet per minute was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent during the final stages of the landing.

In terms of runway alignment, the aircraft's touchdown position was slightly misaligned with the centerline by 7.2 meters. This may be attributed to factors such as wind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C, with a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,334 meters was 83% of the available runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. The runway rollout alignment was very good, suggesting that the aircraft's brakes were applied smoothly and effectively to bring the aircraft to a stop. Overall, while there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing, the F-35C Lightning aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency and control during the landing at LFRK Caen-Carpiquet Airport.
