The flight in question involved an MD-11 aircraft taking off from the 13CL Maine Prairie Airport in Dixon, California, United States. The enroute climb started 3 miles east of the airport, and the aircraft initially climbed from 3,237 feet above sea level (asl) to the same altitude, resulting in a negligible increase of 0 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb, this time from 2,838 feet asl to 1,605 feet asl, resulting in an increase of 1,233 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 6 nautical miles. This climb phase was significantly more aggressive than the initial one.
As the aircraft approached the end of its journey, it began its final approach to runway 21L at KSUU Travis Air Force Base from the north-east, heading at 228.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,533 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft landed safely on the runway, which was 3,352 meters long, with a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 154 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 230 meters, and the touchdown speed of 152 knots was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate was very hard, at -564 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 3.2 meters. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 15 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 2 knots at 270 degrees. The crosswind was 1 knot, and the headwind was 2 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,054 meters, which accounted for 31% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was well under control during the landing phase. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 264 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The MD-11 aircraft successfully landed on runway 21L at KSUU Travis Air Force Base, achieving a score of 90.3%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 228.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,533 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach to the runway was precise, with a good threshold height, indicating that the pilots maintained a stable and controlled descent.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 154 knots, which is a minor deviation but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown distance of 230 meters was also good, indicating that the pilots managed to slow down the aircraft effectively. However, the touchdown speed of 152 knots was slightly lower than the target, which may have contributed to the hard touchdown rate of -564 feet per minute (fpm).
The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.2 meters from the centerline, which is a minor deviation but still requires attention from the pilots. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots at 270°. The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the headwind component was 2 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the approach.
The total landing distance of 1,054 meters was 31% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilots maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, but there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown speed and touchdown rate.
