Departing from a location 1 mile north of Rockford, Tennessee, the B-2 Spirit initiated its enroute climb, rapidly ascending from an initial altitude of 1,897 feet above sea level to 5,357 feet above sea level in a mere 3 minutes, covering a distance of 14 nautical miles. This impressive climb rate of 3,461 feet in 3 minutes showcased the aircraft's exceptional performance capabilities.

Following the enroute climb, the aircraft transitioned into a level cruise phase, maintaining a steady altitude of 5,357 feet above sea level for 3 minutes as it covered a distance of 24 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent, starting 2 miles northeast of Mcgraw's Backyard Airport Greenback, Tennessee. The descent from 5,397 feet above sea level to 2,251 feet above sea level in 5 minutes, covering 25 nautical miles, demonstrated the aircraft's ability to efficiently manage its altitude and airspeed.

As the aircraft approached McGhee Tyson Airport, it initiated its final approach to runway 23L from the northeast, aligning itself with the runway at a heading of 223.0° and an altitude of 1,298 feet above ground level. The aircraft touched down 130 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 136 knots and a touchdown rate of -230 feet per minute. The landing distance of 2,316 meters, accounting for 88% of the runway length, was satisfactory, considering the threshold speed was above the target at 146 knots. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 2 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.

Landing on runway 23L at KTYS McGhee Tyson Airport in the B-2 Spirit

Landing Score 90.04 %

Landing Summary

The final approach to runway 23L at KTYS McGhee Tyson Airport was conducted from the north east, aligning with the heading of 223.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,298 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, with a good threshold height achieved. However, the threshold speed was notably higher than the target, reaching 146 knots.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 130 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, with a speed of 136 knots. The touchdown rate of -230 feet per minute was fair, indicating a moderate deceleration. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.3 meters, which may have contributed to the subsequent rollout deviation. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 23°C and a 14-knot headwind, likely influenced the approach and landing.

The total landing distance of 2,316 meters was 88% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing. During the rollout phase, the aircraft remained slightly misaligned from the centreline by 7.7 meters. Despite these minor deviations, the overall landing performance was satisfactory, earning a score of 90.0%.
