The F-35B Lightning II took off from runway 17 at YSCB Canberra International Airport, located in the Australian Capital Territory, Australia. The aircraft taxied from the parking area to the runway, taking 7 minutes and covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The departure roll began at 176 knots, with a takeoff distance of 464 meters, which accounted for 17% of the runway.

As the aircraft lifted off, it encountered local weather conditions of 22°C temperature and a wind speed of 21 knots at 189 degrees. The crosswind was 4 knots, while the headwind was 21 knots. The F-35B climbed to an altitude of 3,049 feet above sea level (asl) before initiating an enroute climb, which started overhead YSCB Canberra International Airport. The aircraft climbed to 3,711 feet asl, an increase of 662 feet, in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise began overhead Queanbeyan West, located in the State of New South Wales, Australia, and lasted for 8 minutes, covering a distance of 73 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated another enroute climb, this time from 3,913 feet asl to 14,692 feet asl, an increase of 10,779 feet, in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 31 nautical miles. The climb started 5 miles south-west of Nimmitabel.

The F-35B then began an enroute descent from 14,675 feet asl to 2,843 feet asl, a decrease of 11,832 feet, in 5 minutes, covering a distance of 54 nautical miles. The descent started 10 miles south of Bombala. The aircraft then initiated another enroute level cruise, which started 1 mile west of Orbost, located in the State of Victoria, Australia, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles.

The F-35B then began another enroute descent from 2,659 feet asl to 2,095 feet asl, a decrease of 563 feet, in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 17 nautical miles. The descent started 6 miles north of YGRL Great Lakes Vi Airport, located in the State of Victoria, Australia. The aircraft then initiated another enroute level cruise, which started 3 miles north-west of Nicholson and lasted for 6 minutes, covering a distance of 27 nautical miles.

The F-35B then began another enroute descent from 1,923 feet asl to 896 feet asl, a decrease of 1,028 feet, in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The descent started 4 miles south-east of YSAA Sale Airport, located in the State of Victoria, Australia. The aircraft then initiated a final approach to runway 22 at YMES RAAF Base East Sale, heading 235.0 degrees at 3 nautical miles and 861 feet above ground level (agl).

The F-35B landed on runway 22 at YMES RAAF Base East Sale, with a runway length of 2,430 meters. The threshold height was good, but the threshold speed was too high at 191 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 440 meters, but the touchdown speed of 171 knots was fast. The touchdown rate was firm at -385 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.2 meters from the centreline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 17°C temperature and a wind speed of 17 knots at 137 degrees. The crosswind was 17 knots, while the tailwind was 2 knots. The total landing distance

Landing on runway 22 at YMES RAAF Base East Sale in the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II
Landing Score 90.87 %
Landing Summary

The F-35B Lightning II aircraft successfully landed at YMES RAAF Base East Sale, achieving a score of 90.9%. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 235.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 861 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on runway 22, which has a length of 2,430 meters.

The threshold height was satisfactory, but the threshold speed was slightly higher than expected at 191 knots. However, the touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 440 meters. The touchdown speed of 171 knots was faster than desired, resulting in a firm touchdown rate of -385 feet per minute (fpm). The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 8.2 meters.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 17 knots from a direction of 137°. This resulted in a crosswind component of 17 knots and a tailwind component of 2 knots. The total landing distance was 1,587 meters, which is approximately 65% of the runway length.

During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly off-centreline by 9.4 meters. Despite these minor deviations, the overall performance of the F-35B Lightning II was satisfactory, and the aircraft successfully landed safely at YMES RAAF Base East Sale.
