What held you back

Enroute Climb — speed limits at 0 %, g force 0.16 to 6.90 g at 0 %, −5.95 points
Enroute Descent — GPWS warning, then 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; bank angle up to 138.9 ° at 0 %, g force 0.50 to 3.36 g at 47 %, −3.02 points
Enroute Climb — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; bank angle up to 73.6 ° at 33 %, −2.00 points

Top opportunity

Monitor your speed

Enroute Climb

Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with a departure roll from runway 05R at Edwards Air Force Base, where the F-35A Lightning II took off with a takeoff distance of 2,348 feet, which is 16% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 210 knots. At the time of takeoff, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 78 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 7 knots at 20 degrees, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 6-knot headwind.

As the aircraft climbed away from the base, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead Edwards Air Force Base. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 3,375 feet above sea level to 5,329 feet, an increase of 1,953 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 4 nautical miles. Following this climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise phase, which lasted for 2 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles, starting overhead Edwards AF Aux North Base.

The enroute descent phase began 5 miles southeast of Mojave, where the aircraft descended from 5,373 feet to 3,692 feet, a decrease of 1,681 feet in 3 minutes, covering a distance of 13 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time starting 2 miles southeast of Lloyd's Landing Airport Rosamond, where it climbed from 3,705 feet to 4,219 feet, an increase of 513 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 9 nautical miles.

The final descent phase began 3 miles southeast of Rosamond, where the aircraft descended from 4,163 feet to 3,079 feet, a decrease of 1,084 feet in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its final approach to runway 05L at Edwards Air Force Base, flying from the southwest at a heading of 58.0 degrees and at an altitude of 759 feet above ground level, 4 nautical miles from the runway.

The landing was made on runway 05L, which has a length of 11,982 feet. Although the threshold speed was too high at 187 knots, the touchdown speed of 155 knots was good, and the touchdown rate was excellent at -57 feet per minute. The touchdown point was 1,891 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 7 knots at 25 degrees, resulting in a 4-knot crosswind and a 6-knot headwind.

The total landing distance was 5,952 feet, which is 50% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was very good. The total flight distance was 48 nautical miles, and the flight used -13 pounds of fuel.

Landing Summary

The F-35A Lightning II aircraft successfully landed at KEDW Edwards Air Force Base on runway 05L. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 58.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 759 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, but unfortunately, the threshold speed was too high at 187 knots, which is above the recommended speed for a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 1,891 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is a significant distance. However, the touchdown speed of 155 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -57 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 21 feet from the centerline, which may require some adjustments during future landings.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 70°F and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 25°. The crosswind component was minimal at 4 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance of 5,952 feet was 50% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft had sufficient runway remaining for a safe stop.

During the rollout, the aircraft maintained very good alignment with the runway centerline, which is essential for safe and efficient taxiing. Overall, while there were some minor issues with the landing, such as the high threshold speed and slightly misaligned touchdown position, the F-35A Lightning II demonstrated its capabilities and performed a safe and controlled landing at KEDW Edwards Air Force Base.
