Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 5,015 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 600 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Horten Ho229 aircraft departed from runway 24 at KHYA Cape Cod Gateway Airport, taking off with a distance of 487 feet, which is 10% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 79 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 219°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots.
As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb overhead Hyannis, Massachusetts, and ascended from an altitude of 1,344 feet above sea level to 10,974 feet above sea level, an increase of 9,630 feet in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent overhead Osterville, Massachusetts, and descended from 10,974 feet to 3,630 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,344 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 2 nautical miles.
The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, starting 1 mile south east of Centerville, Massachusetts, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final descent, starting 1 mile south of Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts, and descended from 3,057 feet above sea level to 316 feet above sea level, a decrease of 2,741 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The final approach to runway 24 at KHYA Cape Cod Gateway Airport was made from the north east, heading 228.0° at 1 nautical mile and 260 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, with a touchdown distance of 599 feet, which is considered good. The touchdown speed was 77 knots, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -131 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were the same as at the time of departure, with a temperature of 72°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 219°. The crosswind component was 2 knots, while the headwind component was 8 knots. The total landing distance was 1,375 feet, which is 27% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good.
The total flight distance was 12 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 8 minutes. The aircraft used 92 pounds of fuel during the flight.
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.
