Landing Score 97.66 %
Landing Summary

The B-2 Spirit aircraft successfully landed on runway 21L at KLSV Nellis Air Force Base, with a score of 84.2%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 221.0° at 1 nautical mile and 276 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on the runway, which has a length of 10,048 feet.

The initial landing attempt was not ideal, as the threshold height was above the target, and the threshold speed was excessively high at 273 knots. However, the second landing attempt was more successful, with a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 133 knots, which was within the acceptable range.

The touchdown distance of 1,387 feet was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 126 knots was also within the acceptable range. However, the touchdown rate of -225 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, indicating that the aircraft could have been brought down to the ground more smoothly.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 13 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to the crosswind or tailwind conditions. The local weather conditions at the time of the landing included a temperature of 63°F, with a wind speed of 22 knots at 79°. The crosswind component was 14 knots, and the tailwind component was 17 knots.

The total landing distance of 4,767 feet was 47% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the aircraft was brought to a stop smoothly and safely. Overall, the landing was successful, but there were some areas for improvement, particularly in terms of touchdown rate and runway alignment.
