Landing on runway 21R at KLSV Nellis Air Force Base in the Boeing Stratotanker

Landing Score 84.17 %

Landing Summary

The Boeing Stratotanker successfully landed on runway 21R at KLSV Nellis Air Force Base, achieving a score of 84.2%. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 223.0° at 3 nautical miles and 1,412 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was executed with precision, and the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 154 knots.

The touchdown distance was satisfactory, measuring 397 meters, and the aircraft maintained perfect runway touchdown alignment. However, the touchdown rate was quite heavy, at -841 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slight deviation from the ideal landing technique. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 5°C and a calm wind of 0 knots at 284°.

The total landing distance of 1,782 meters was 58% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. Nevertheless, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 9.1 meters from the centerline, which may indicate a slight deviation in the pilot's control during the rollout phase.

Overall, the landing was successful, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown rate and runway rollout alignment. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the execution of the final approach and touchdown, but some adjustments may be necessary to achieve a higher score.
