Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 500 ft gate: sink rate above what the glideslope needed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,710 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 498 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The FA-18E SuperHornet taxied to runway 02 at LPPT and commenced the departure roll, using 521 m of runway (14 % of the available length). Liftoff was achieved at 165 kt. Ambient conditions were 20 °C with a wind of 2 kt from 275°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and a 1 kt tail-wind component.
During the climb the aircraft passed overhead Charneca, ascending from 662 ft asl to 2,519 ft asl - a gain of 1,857 ft - in 1 minute while covering 7 nm.
Level cruise began 2 mi south-west of Canecas and was maintained for 3 minutes, during which 23 nm were flown.
The final approach to runway 02 was executed from the south-west on a heading of 137.0° at 2 nm and 1,898 ft agl.
A go-around was initiated on runway 02 at an altitude of 342 ft agl, after which the aircraft re-entered the approach sequence.
Landing on runway 02 was performed with a runway length of 3,716 m; the threshold speed was slightly below target at 146 kt. Touchdown occurred 89 m beyond the touchdown zone at 138 kt, with a firm rate of descent of minus 324 fpm and very good alignment. Local weather at landing was 20 °C, wind 2 kt from 291°, a 2 kt cross-wind and no head-wind component. Total landing distance was 853 m, representing 23 % of the runway.
Runway rollout proceeded with very good alignment, completing the landing roll within the measured distance.
Taxi-in to the parking area took less than 1 minute and covered less than 1 nm.
In total the flight covered 46 nm, lasted 8 minutes and consumed 2,914 kg of fuel.
The FA-18E SuperHornet entered the final approach to runway 02 at LPPT Humberto Delgado Airport from the south-west on a heading of 137.0° while 2 nm out and 1,898 ft agl, with ambient temperature 20 °C, wind 2 kt from 291°, a 2 kt cross-wind component and no head-wind.
At threshold the aircraft displayed a good threshold height and a threshold speed of 146 kt, noted as slightly below the target.
Touchdown occurred 89 m beyond the designated touchdown zone; the aircraft was fast at 138 kt and the vertical rate was firm at minus 324 fpm, while runway-centerline alignment was very good.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 853 m, representing 23 % of the 3,716 m runway, and runway rollout alignment remained very good.
Reduce the final-approach speed to meet the target and aim to touch down within the touchdown zone to further improve the landing profile.
