Landing Score 95.21 %

Landing Summary

The Horten Ho 229, a unique and historic aircraft, has successfully landed at KHYA Cape Cod Gateway Airport. The final approach was initiated from the north-east, heading 228.0° at a distance of 1 nautical mile and an altitude of 260 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated excellent control and precision as it descended onto runway 24, which has a length of 5,015 feet.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft's threshold height was found to be good, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's descent and maintained a safe altitude. However, the threshold speed was slightly higher than desired, reaching 92 knots. Despite this, the touchdown distance was satisfactory at 599 feet, and the touchdown speed of 77 knots was within acceptable limits.

The touchdown rate was smooth, with a rate of -131 feet per minute (fpm), indicating that the aircraft had landed with minimal impact. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's exceptional skill and control. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from 219°.

The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots, which helped to reduce the aircraft's ground speed and make the landing more manageable. The total landing distance was 1,375 feet, which is 27% of the runway length. This is a relatively short landing distance, indicating that the pilot had successfully managed the aircraft's speed and descent.

The runway rollout alignment was also very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, the landing of the Horten Ho 229 at KHYA Cape Cod Gateway Airport was a success, with the pilot demonstrating exceptional skill and control throughout the approach and landing phases.
