Maintain the centreline

Departure Roll

A small uncorrected heading error at 40 knots becomes a metre of offset per second by 100 knots, noticed only at rotation, producing a crabbed liftoff. Root cause is nearly always eyes on the tape instead of the far end of the runway. Small heading changes displace a distant point visibly long before the nearby centreline stripes look wrong.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the aircraft, an F-35C Lightning, taxiing from the parking area to the runway at BIRK Reykjavik Airport. This process took approximately 4 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 13, with a takeoff distance of 697 meters, which was 60% of the runway's length. The liftoff speed was 174 knots.

As the aircraft took off, it encountered local weather conditions with a temperature of 16°C and a wind speed of 1 knot at 269 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, and there was a slight tailwind of 1 knot. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead Kopavogur (Hoefudborgarsvaedi, Iceland), and climbed from an altitude of 1,102 feet above sea level to 13,841 feet above sea level, an increase of 12,739 feet in 7 minutes, covering a distance of 35 nautical miles.

The enroute descent began 17 miles south of Grindavik (Sudurnes, Iceland), and the aircraft descended from 13,785 feet above sea level to 869 feet above sea level, a decrease of 12,916 feet in 9 minutes, covering a distance of 30 nautical miles. The final approach to runway 10 at BIKF Keflavik International Airport was made from the west, heading 93.0 degrees at 4 nautical miles and 716 feet above ground level.

The landing on runway 10 was successful, with a touchdown distance of 314 meters, which was good. The touchdown speed was 156 knots, and the touchdown rate was fair at -208 feet per minute. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.1 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions during landing were a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots at 258 degrees, with a slight tailwind of 2 knots.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking approximately 7 minutes and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 72 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 21 minutes. The aircraft used 3,697 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing report
Landing on runway 10 at BIKF Keflavik International Airport in the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II
Landing Score 95.52 %
Landing Summary

The F-35C Lightning aircraft successfully landed at Keflavik International Airport (BIKF) on runway 10, achieving a score of 95.5%. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 93.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 716 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, with a threshold height that met the required standards.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained a good threshold speed of 165 knots, and the touchdown distance of 314 meters was also within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 156 knots was satisfactory, indicating a smooth and controlled landing. However, the touchdown rate of -208 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft may have experienced a slight loss of altitude during the landing.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 6.1 meters, which may have been due to a minor deviation in the aircraft's approach path. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a gentle wind of 2 knots from 258°. The crosswind component was negligible, and the tailwind component was minimal at 2 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,743 meters was 57% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. However, the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned from the centreline by 12.1 meters, indicating that the aircraft may have experienced some difficulty in maintaining a straight path during the rollout phase.

Overall, the F-35C Lightning aircraft demonstrated good landing skills and control during the approach and touchdown phases. However, there were some minor deviations in the touchdown position and rollout alignment, which may require further refinement and training to achieve a perfect score.
