The Horten Ho229 aircraft took off from runway 29 at 08R Richmond Airport with a departure roll distance of 196 ft, which is 10% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 78 kt, indicating a smooth and controlled takeoff. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 77 °F and a wind speed of 9 kt from a direction of 234 °, resulting in a crosswind of 6 kt and a headwind of 6 kt.
After takeoff, the aircraft entered a left-hand pattern, with the entry distance being less than 1 nm in 9 seconds. The pattern crosswind leg was also flown on the left-hand side, with a distance of less than 1 nm in 14 seconds. The aircraft then proceeded to the downwind turn, which was completed in a distance of 1 nm at an angle of 45 degrees to the runway, with a heading of 125.2 °.
The downwind leg of the pattern was flown for a distance of less than 1 nm in 38 seconds, after which the aircraft began its final approach to runway 29 at 08R Richmond Airport. The approach was made from the east, with a heading of 278.0 ° at an altitude of 240 ft above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nm from the runway threshold.
The landing on runway 29 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 110 ft, which is well within the acceptable limits. However, the touchdown speed of 81 kt was slightly above the target speed, and the touchdown rate of -162 fpm was good. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned, being 12 ft off the centreline.
The total landing distance was 804 ft, which is 40% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. The total flight distance was 2 nm, which was completed in 3 minutes, and the aircraft used 22 lbs of fuel during the flight.

The Horten Ho 229 aircraft successfully landed on runway 29 at 08R Richmond Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its landing maneuvers. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 278.0° at an altitude of 240 feet above ground level (agl) and a distance of 0 nautical miles from the runway threshold.
Upon reaching the runway threshold, the aircraft touched down at a speed of 81 knots, which was slightly above the target speed. However, the touchdown distance of 110 feet was well within acceptable limits, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The aircraft's rate of descent at touchdown was also good, at -162 feet per minute, which suggests that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.
The landing was further complicated by a crosswind of 6 knots and a headwind of 6 knots, which could have potentially affected the aircraft's stability and control during the approach. However, the pilot successfully managed these conditions, maintaining a good runway touchdown position despite being slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline.
The total landing distance of 804 feet was 40% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. This suggests that the pilot executed a well-planned and controlled approach, taking into account the aircraft's performance characteristics and the runway conditions.
During the rollout, the aircraft maintained a very good alignment with the runway centerline, indicating a high level of skill and control on the part of the pilot. Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its approach and landing maneuvers.
