Landing on runway 31 at LFRK Caen-Carpiquet Airport in the F-35C Lightning

Landing Score 90.26 %

Landing Summary

The F-35C Lightning aircraft successfully landed at LFRK Caen-Carpiquet Airport, achieving a score of 90.3%. The final approach to runway 31 was initiated from the south east, with a heading of 306.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,329 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, which has a length of 1,601 meters.

The threshold height was reported as good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 156 knots. The touchdown point was 88 meters beyond the designated touchdown zone, indicating a slight deviation from the intended landing spot. The touchdown speed of 135 knots was considered good, but the touchdown rate of -294 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair. This suggests that the aircraft may have experienced a slightly higher rate of descent than desired.

The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 19°C, a wind speed of 6 knots at 270°, and a crosswind of 3 knots and a headwind of 5 knots.

The total landing distance of 1,388 meters was 87% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the same factors that caused the initial touchdown position to be off-center.

Overall, the landing was considered successful, but there were some minor deviations from the ideal landing parameters. These deviations may be addressed through further training or adjustments to the aircraft's systems to improve future landing performance.
