Landing on runway 29 at PASI Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport in the F-35A Lightning II

Landing Score 76.41 %

Landing Summary

The F-35A Lightning II aircraft successfully landed at Sitka Rocky Gutierrez Airport, but with some notable deviations from optimal landing procedures. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 323.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,721 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed at a satisfactory altitude, and the aircraft touched down on runway 29, which has a length of 1,975 meters.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was recorded at 144 knots, which is considered good. However, the touchdown rate of -261 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher-than-desired rate of descent. The threshold speed was well above the target, reaching 177 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly higher touchdown rate.

One of the notable issues with this landing was the significant misalignment of the runway touchdown position, which was 19.3 meters off-centerline. This misalignment was also observed during the runway rollout, where the aircraft was 19.7 meters off-centerline. This deviation from the centerline may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 3 knots from 276°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 3 knots. Despite these favorable weather conditions, the pilot was unable to maintain a perfectly aligned approach and touchdown.

The total landing distance of 1,808 meters was 92% of the runway length, which is a relatively high percentage. This may indicate that the aircraft was unable to stop within the available runway length, potentially due to the high touchdown speed or the misaligned touchdown position. Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement in terms of approach and touchdown alignment.
