The flight in question was conducted using the F-35A Lightning II aircraft. The flight began with an enroute climb from the Umiujaq Airport in Quebec, Canada, where the aircraft lifted off from an altitude of 347 feet above sea level and climbed to 31,639 feet above sea level in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 15 nautical miles.
Following the initial climb, the aircraft began its descent from 31,691 feet above sea level to 28,164 feet above sea level, a decrease of 3,527 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 12 nautical miles. This descent was initiated 14 miles northeast of the Umiujaq Airport.
The aircraft then began another enroute climb from 28,213 feet above sea level to 40,548 feet above sea level, an increase of 12,335 feet in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 51 nautical miles. This climb was initiated 26 miles north of the Umiujaq Airport.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 28 minutes and covered a distance of 271 nautical miles. This cruise phase was initiated 79 miles north of the Umiujaq Airport.
As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its descent from 39,758 feet above sea level to 1,587 feet above sea level, a decrease of 38,171 feet in 14 minutes, covering a distance of 140 nautical miles. This descent was initiated 30 miles northwest of the Kangiqsujuaq Airport in Quebec, Canada.
The aircraft then entered a short level cruise phase, lasting 5 minutes and covering a distance of 10 nautical miles, initiated 9 miles southwest of the Iqaluit Airport in Nunavut, Canada.
The final approach to runway 34 at the Iqaluit Airport was conducted from the southeast, with the aircraft heading 316.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 858 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which was 2,616 meters long, with a good threshold height and threshold speed of 154 knots.
The touchdown point was 67 meters beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 145 knots, which was considered good. However, the touchdown rate was fair at -281 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 meters from the centerline.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 3 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 20 knots at 310 degrees. The crosswind was 2 knots, while the headwind was 19 knots.
The total landing distance was 881 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area from the runway in just 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 503 nautical miles, which was completed in 61 minutes, and the aircraft used a total of 1,849 kilograms of fuel.

The final approach was conducted from the southeast, heading 316.0° at 3 nautical miles and 858 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft touched down on runway 34, which has a length of 2,616 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 154 knots was also within the acceptable range, demonstrating the pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed during the landing. The touchdown point was 67 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center but not significantly impacting the overall performance.
The touchdown speed of 145 knots was good, indicating that the aircraft was able to slow down effectively before touching down. However, the touchdown rate of -281 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the aircraft could have been slowed down more smoothly. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 6.0 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to the pilot's judgment or the aircraft's handling characteristics.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 3°C, with a wind speed of 20 knots from 310°. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 19 knots, which the pilot effectively managed during the landing. The total landing distance of 881 meters was 34% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the post-landing phase. Overall, the landing was successful, with the aircraft achieving a high score despite some minor issues with the touchdown rate and runway alignment.
