Top opportunity

Improve the pattern crosswind leg

Pattern Crosswind

Each lap slightly wider and higher than the last, because you're unconsciously using the previous lap as your reference instead of the runway and the numbers. Invisible lap to lap, unmistakable across ten. This is the failure that only measurement catches, because your memory of lap three is gone by lap eight.

Flight narrative

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.

Landing Summary

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.
