The F-35A Lightning II aircraft successfully landed on runway 28L at KLAN Capital City Airport, but with some notable deviations from the ideal landing parameters. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 272.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,391 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 157 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. The touchdown distance of 446 meters was considered good, indicating that the pilot maintained control and managed the aircraft's descent effectively. However, the touchdown rate of -267 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have managed the aircraft's descent more smoothly.
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 5.3 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's judgment or the aircraft's handling characteristics. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 33°C and a wind speed of 21 knots at 188°, may have also contributed to the slight misalignment.
The total landing distance of 1,682 meters was 65% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was excessively misaligned by 47.1 meters from the centerline, indicating that the pilot may have struggled to maintain control during the rollout phase.
Overall, the landing was considered successful, but with some areas for improvement. The pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's descent and maintain control during the rollout phase will require further refinement to achieve a more ideal landing performance.
