What held you back

Enroute Climb — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; bank angle up to 82.0 ° at 16 %, g force 0.06 to 2.30 g at 77 %, −5.98 points

Arrival Landing — Landing and flare profile at 0 %, Threshold speed was too high at 185 kt. at 70 %, −1.69 points

Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

Flight narrative

The F-35A Lightning II took off from runway 31 at KMOT Minot International Airport, covering a takeoff distance of 1,419 meters, which is 61% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 184 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius.

As the aircraft climbed out of KMOT Minot International Airport, it began its enroute climb, reaching an altitude of 3,416 feet above sea level from an initial altitude of 2,184 feet. This climb of 1,232 feet was achieved in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. The enroute climb phase was completed overhead KMOT Minot International Airport.

Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 14 minutes and covered a distance of 76 nautical miles. This phase of the flight began 5 miles southwest of 41ND Hill Airport in Minot, North Dakota.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its final approach to runway 13 at KBIS Bismarck Municipal Airport from the northwest. At this point, the aircraft was 3 nautical miles from the runway and at an altitude of 1,591 feet above ground level. However, the threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was too high at 185 knots.

The aircraft landed on runway 13, which has a length of 1,659 meters. The touchdown distance was good at 302 meters, but the touchdown speed was fast at 173 knots. The touchdown rate was also very heavy at -1,067 feet per minute. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 16.4 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 250 degrees. The crosswind was 8 knots, and the tailwind was 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,111 meters, which is 67% of the runway. Following the landing, the aircraft experienced an excessively misaligned runway rollout, deviating by 51.5 meters from the centerline.

After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile in 3 minutes. The total flight distance was 93 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 16 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -18 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

Landing on runway 13 at KBIS Bismarck Municipal Airport in the F-35A Lightning II
Landing Score 70.42 %
Landing Summary

The F-35A Lightning II aircraft has successfully landed at KBIS Bismarck Municipal Airport, but the landing was not without its issues. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the north-west, heading 152.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,591 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach was made to runway 13, which has a length of 1,659 meters.

However, the landing was not executed perfectly. The threshold height at 65 feet agl was above the target, indicating that the aircraft was slightly higher than desired when it reached the threshold of the runway. Additionally, the threshold speed was too high at 185 knots, which is faster than the desired speed. This could have contributed to the subsequent issues with the landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's touchdown distance was good at 302 meters, but the touchdown speed was fast at 173 knots. This excessive speed resulted in a very heavy touchdown rate of -1,067 feet per minute (fpm), which is significantly higher than the desired rate. Furthermore, the runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 16.4 meters from the centreline, indicating that the aircraft did not land directly on the centre of the runway.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 9 knots from 250°. The crosswind component was 8 knots, while the tailwind component was 3 knots. Despite these relatively benign conditions, the pilot struggled to maintain a stable approach and landing.

The total landing distance was 1,111 meters, which is 67% of the runway length. This is a relatively long landing distance, indicating that the aircraft took some time to come to a stop after touchdown. The runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned by 51.5 meters from the centreline, further highlighting the issues with the landing.

Overall, while the F-35A Lightning II aircraft successfully landed at KBIS Bismarck Municipal Airport, the landing was marred by several issues, including excessive speed, heavy touchdown rate, and misaligned touchdown and rollout positions. These issues will need to be addressed in order to improve the aircraft's landing performance.
