The B-2 Spirit aircraft successfully landed at KLSV Nellis Air Force Base, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its landing maneuvers. The aircraft approached the runway from the northeast, heading 221.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 863 feet above ground level (agl). This approach angle and distance indicate a well-executed final approach, taking into account the aircraft's size and weight.
Upon landing, the B-2 Spirit touched down on runway 21L, which has a length of 10,048 feet. The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 118 knots, which may be a minor adjustment for the pilots to make in future approaches.
The touchdown point was 828 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively short distance. This suggests that the pilots maintained good control of the aircraft during the landing, and the aircraft's speed was well-managed. The touchdown speed of 115 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -134 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a gentle and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 66°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from 223°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind and a slight headwind of 3 knots, which did not significantly impact the landing.
The total landing distance of 6,148 feet was 61% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating that the pilots maintained good control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases.
Overall, the B-2 Spirit's landing at KLSV Nellis Air Force Base was a success, with a high score of 95.6%. The aircraft's performance and the pilots' skills were well-coordinated, resulting in a smooth and controlled landing.
