The flight began with an enroute climb from Kangiqsualujjuaq (Quebec, Canada), where the aircraft, an F-35A Lightning II, took off from the Kangiqsualujjuaq (Georges River) Airport. The climb started at an altitude of 572 feet above sea level (asl) and reached a maximum altitude of 40,484 feet asl, an increase of 39,913 feet in just 11 minutes, covering a distance of 105 nautical miles (nm).

After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft entered an enroute level cruise, which lasted for 34 minutes and covered a distance of 358 nm. This cruise phase took place approximately 38 miles southwest of Napaktok Bay in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent from an altitude of 40,666 feet asl to 2,594 feet asl, a decrease of 38,072 feet in just 10 minutes, covering a distance of 94 nm. The descent started approximately 23 miles north of Charlottetown Airport in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, which lasted for 3 minutes and covered a distance of 2 nm. This cruise phase took place approximately 16 miles north of St. Anthony in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

The flight continued with a series of enroute climb and level cruise phases, with the aircraft climbing to higher altitudes and then leveling off to maintain a steady altitude. These phases took place in the vicinity of St. Anthony, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

One notable climb phase took place when the aircraft climbed from 3,103 feet asl to 30,515 feet asl, an increase of 27,412 feet in just 10 minutes, covering a distance of 100 nm. This climb phase started approximately 20 miles south of St. Anthony.

The aircraft then entered another enroute level cruise phase, which lasted for 11 minutes and covered a distance of 104 nm. This cruise phase took place approximately 16 miles northeast of Fogo Airport in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

As the aircraft approached its final destination, it began its enroute descent from an altitude of 30,535 feet asl to 2,092 feet asl, a decrease of 28,443 feet in just 9 minutes, covering a distance of 32 nm. The descent started approximately 24 miles southeast of Catalina in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.

The final approach to runway 29 at St. John's International Airport was made from the east, with the aircraft heading 265.0° at an altitude of 1,591 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 2 nm from the runway threshold.

The landing on runway 29 was notable for several reasons. The threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 221 kt. The touchdown point was 326 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was too fast at 189 kt. The touchdown rate was firm at -398 feet per minute (fpm), and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 24°C, a wind speed of 21 kt at 270°, a crosswind of 1 kt, and a headwind of 20 kt.

The total landing distance was 1,665 meters, which accounted for 64% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 25.2 meters from the centerline.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nm.

The total flight distance was 832 nm, and the flight duration

Takeoff on runway at in the F-35A Lightning II

Landing on runway 29 at CYYT St. John's International Airport in the F-35A Lightning II

Landing Score 72.11 %

Landing Summary

The F-35A Lightning II aircraft successfully landed at CYYT St. John's International Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the east, heading 265.0° at 2 nautical miles and 1,591 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 29, which has a length of 2,583 meters.

However, the aircraft's performance during the landing was not optimal. The threshold height at 69 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was not at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. Furthermore, the threshold speed was excessively high at 221 knots, which is a critical factor in determining the safety and success of the landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was too fast at 189 knots, and the touchdown rate was firm at -398 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the aircraft may have experienced a hard landing, which can be stressful on the aircraft's structure and potentially lead to damage. Additionally, the touchdown point was 326 meters beyond the touchdown zone, indicating that the aircraft may have overshot the intended landing spot.

The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 9.6 meters from the centreline, which can make it more difficult for the aircraft to maintain control and stability during the landing. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 24°C and a wind speed of 21 knots at 270°. The crosswind was minimal at 1 knot, but the headwind was significant at 20 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,665 meters, which is 64% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the aircraft may have taken some time to come to a stop after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also misaligned by 25.2 meters from the centreline, which can make it more difficult for the aircraft to maintain control and stability during the rollout phase of the landing.

Overall, while the F-35A Lightning II aircraft successfully landed at CYYT St. John's International Airport, the landing was not without its issues. The aircraft's performance during the landing was not optimal, and there were several areas for improvement.
