Flight narrative

The flight began with the Horten Ho229 taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took just 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 22L at KFFZ Falcon Field, with a takeoff distance of 1,001 feet, which accounted for 20% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 83 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were quite hot, with a temperature of 104 degrees Fahrenheit, and a moderate wind blowing at 9 knots from a direction of 290 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 8 knots and a headwind of 5 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb overhead KFFZ Falcon Field Mesa, Arizona, and ascended from an altitude of 2,327 feet above sea level to 3,304 feet, an increase of 977 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise phase started 2 miles south of KFFZ Falcon Field Mesa and lasted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles. The enroute descent phase began 3 miles east of KFFZ Falcon Field Mesa, and the aircraft descended from an altitude of 3,087 feet to 1,684 feet, a decrease of 1,403 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles.

The aircraft then began another enroute climb phase, this time starting 3 miles southeast of AZ25 Tri-Rotor Ag Services Airport Somerton, Arizona. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 1,707 feet to 3,337 feet, an increase of 1,630 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 22L at KFFZ Falcon Field was made from the northeast, with the aircraft heading 259.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,894 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing on runway 22L was successful, with the aircraft touching down at a speed of 75 knots and a touchdown distance of 467 feet. The touchdown rate was firm at -302 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were slightly cooler, with a temperature of 102 degrees Fahrenheit, and a moderate wind blowing at 15 knots from a direction of 269 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 12 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,212 feet, which accounted for 24% of the runway. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 28 feet from the centerline. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, a process that took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 24 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 12 minutes, during which the aircraft used 128 pounds of fuel.

Landing Summary

The Horten Ho 229 aircraft successfully landed on runway 22L at KFFZ Falcon Field, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its landing maneuver. The aircraft approached the runway from the north east, heading 259.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,894 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with precision, as evidenced by the good threshold height and the very good runway touchdown alignment.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was 75 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 467 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control and made a smooth transition from the approach to the landing phase. The touchdown rate of -302 feet per minute (fpm) was firm, suggesting that the aircraft's descent was well-managed.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were hot, with a temperature of 102°F, and a moderate wind blowing at 15 knots from 269°. The crosswind component was 9 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots. Despite these challenging conditions, the pilot successfully managed the aircraft's approach and landing, demonstrating a high level of skill and experience.

However, there were some minor issues with the landing. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 28 feet from the centreline, indicating that the pilot may have had some difficulty maintaining a straight course during the rollout phase. Additionally, the threshold speed was above the target speed of 86 knots, suggesting that the pilot may have been a bit too aggressive during the approach.

Overall, the landing was a success, with the aircraft touching down safely and within the acceptable range of speeds and distances. The pilot's skills and experience were evident throughout the maneuver, and the aircraft's performance was satisfactory despite the challenging weather conditions.
