The Hughes XF-11 aircraft departed from runway 04 at PHNG Kaneohe Bay MCAS (Marion E. Carl Field) Airport, with a takeoff distance of 1,273 ft, which accounted for 16% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 134 kt, and the local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 83 °F, with a wind speed of 17 kt at 70 °.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead the PHNG Kaneohe Bay MCAS (Marion E. Carl Field) Airport, rising from an altitude of 67 ft above sea level to 146 ft, an increase of 79 ft in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nm. The climb was smooth and efficient, with the aircraft making good progress.

The final approach to runway 04 was made from the south-west, with the aircraft heading at 48.0 ° at an altitude of 107 ft above ground level, and at a distance of 0 nm from the runway. However, the pilot decided to execute a go-around at an altitude of 13 ft above ground level, which was a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of the aircraft and its occupants.

The landing was made on runway 04, which had a length of 7,763 ft. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 119 kt. The touchdown distance was good at 1,169 ft, and the touchdown speed was also good at 100 kt. However, the touchdown rate was hard at -456 fpm, which was a concern. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, and the local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 81 °F, with a wind speed of 15 kt at 65 °.

The total landing distance was 2,116 ft, which accounted for 27% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the landing. The taxiing to the parking area from the runway took less than 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nm.

The total flight distance was 5 nm, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. The aircraft used 244 lbs of fuel during the flight, which was a relatively efficient use of fuel considering the short distance flown. Overall, the flight was a successful one, with the pilot demonstrating good flying skills and control of the aircraft throughout the flight.

Landing Summary

The Hughes XF-11 aircraft successfully landed on runway 04 at PHNG Kaneohe Bay MCAS (Marion E. Carl Field) Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in its landing maneuver. The aircraft approached the runway from the southwest, heading 48.0° at an altitude of 107 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, with the threshold speed being slightly below the target at 118 knots. This indicates that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's speed effectively during the final approach. The touchdown distance of 1,169 feet was also within acceptable limits, suggesting that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to bring it down smoothly.

The touchdown speed of 100 knots was also good, indicating that the pilot had managed to slow the aircraft down effectively during the final stages of the approach. However, the touchdown rate of -456 feet per minute (fpm) was considered hard, which may indicate that the pilot could have applied a smoother touchdown technique to reduce the impact on the aircraft's landing gear.

The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot had maintained a steady course and was able to align the aircraft with the runway centerline. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 81°F and a wind speed of 15 knots at 65°, also played a significant role in the successful landing. The crosswind component of 4 knots and the headwind component of 14 knots were relatively minor, allowing the pilot to maintain control and stability during the approach.

The total landing distance of 2,116 feet, which accounted for 27% of the runway length, was also within acceptable limits. This suggests that the pilot had a good understanding of the aircraft's performance and was able to bring it down smoothly, with minimal overshoot. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and was able to bring the aircraft to a stop smoothly.

Overall, the Hughes XF-11 aircraft demonstrated a high level of proficiency in its landing maneuver, with a score of 94.2%. The pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed, altitude, and alignment during the final approach and touchdown phases was impressive, and the successful landing was a testament to their skill and experience.
