Flight narrative

The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 5 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, an F-35C Lightning, then departed from runway 24 at LSZC Buochs Airport. The takeoff distance was 1,014 meters, which accounted for 54% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 193 knots.

The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 24 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots. The aircraft then began its enroute climb, starting overhead the town of Stans in the Kanton Nidwalden region of Switzerland. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,477 feet above sea level to 29,353 feet, an increase of 26,876 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 37 nautical miles.

Following the initial climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which began overhead the town of Herbetswil in the Kanton Solothurn region of Switzerland. This phase lasted for 25 minutes and covered a distance of 234 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb, this time from 29,455 feet to 30,001 feet, an increase of 545 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles. The climb started overhead the town of Roinville in the Ile-de-France region of France.

The aircraft then entered another level cruise phase, which began overhead the town of Epernon in the Centre-Val de Loire region of France. This phase lasted for just 3 minutes and covered a distance of 33 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its descent, starting 2 miles southwest of the town of Bemecourt in the Normandie region of France. The descent took the aircraft from an altitude of 28,780 feet to 1,591 feet, a decrease of 27,188 feet in just 7 minutes, covering a distance of 51 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 31 at LFRK Caen-Carpiquet Airport was made from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 306.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,329 feet above ground level. The landing was made on runway 31, which had a length of 1,601 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed at 156 knots.

The touchdown point was 88 meters beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 135 knots, which was good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -294 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 9.0 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 6 knots from a direction of 270 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, while the headwind was 5 knots.

The total landing distance was 1,388 meters, which accounted for 87% of the runway. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.4 meters from the centerline. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took just 1 minute and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 378 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 50 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 4,449 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 31 at LFRK Caen-Carpiquet Airport in the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II
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.
