MY FS FLIGHTS
The aircraft, an RJ85 model, began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway at Wendover Airport, located at KENV. This process took approximately 8 minutes and covered a distance of 3 nautical miles. Following a smooth departure roll from runway 26, the aircraft took to the skies, using 1,462 meters or 48% of the runway. The takeoff speed reached 130 knots.
As the aircraft transitioned to level flight, the enroute climb began approximately one mile southeast of West Wendover. Climbing from a starting altitude of 5,233 feet above sea level to 30,730 feet, the aircraft experienced a significant increase of 25,497 feet, covering a distance of 106 nautical miles in the process. This climb took about 20 minutes.
The enroute level cruise phase commenced 12 miles north of the 'Beowawe' waypoint and lasted for 39 minutes, allowing the aircraft to cover a substantial distance of 249 nautical miles while maintaining a steady speed.
Upon entering the enroute descent phase, the aircraft began its descent from 30,825 feet above sea level to 1,296 feet, a drop of 29,529 feet in just 19 minutes. During this phase, the aircraft covered a distance of approximately 105 nautical miles as it descended towards its final destination.
The final approach to runway 28R at San Francisco International Airport, also known as KSFO, was approached from the southeast, maintaining a steady heading of 298°. At a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level, the aircraft prepared for landing.
As the aircraft touched down on runway 28R, which had a length of 3,516 meters, the touchdown distance was an impressive 261 meters. The threshold speed and touchdown speed, at 115 and 108 knots, respectively, were well within acceptable limits. Although the touchdown rate of -264 feet per minute was just fair, the runway touchdown alignment was perfectly executed. The aircraft landed during calm weather conditions, with a temperature of 24°C and a headwind of 14 knots.
Following a successful landing, the aircraft underwent a relatively short rolling taxiing process to reach the parking area, taking approximately 4 minutes and covering less than 1 nautical mile. In total, the aircraft covered a distance of 470 nautical miles, utilizing 3,279 kilograms of fuel throughout the journey, and completed the entire flight in 94 minutes.

The aircraft, identified as an RJ85, successfully executed a landing at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO) on runway 28R. The final approach was conducted from the southeast, with an initial distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,259 feet above ground level, bearing a heading of 298.0°.
The aircraft maintained a good threshold height throughout its descent, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 115 knots. Upon touchdown, the distance covered was 261 meters, which falls within acceptable parameters. The touchdown speed of 108 knots was also in line with expectations.
However, the touchdown rate of -264 feet per minute was considered fair, indicating some slight deviations in control or descent rate. It is essential to maintain a controlled touchdown to minimize the risk of aircraft damage and ensure the safety of passengers and crew.
Despite a slight variation in touchdown rate, the overall landing distance covered was 707 meters, representing just 20% of the available runway length. This demonstrates an exceptional proficiency in managing the aircraft's speed and descent rate. Moreover, the runway touchdown alignment was perfect, ensuring a smooth and controlled descent onto the runway surface.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft maintained perfect runway rollout alignment, indicating a stable and controlled application of brakes. This excellent performance suggests that the pilot was thoroughly familiar with the RJ85's characteristics and the demands of landing at KSFO, which is renowned for its challenging weather conditions and demanding runway layout.
On a particularly relevant note, the local weather at KSFO during the landing was characterized by a relatively mild temperature of 24°C (75°F) and a moderate wind of 14 knots from the north at 299°. The resulting crosswind component of 1 knot and headwind component of 14 knots had a minimal impact on the landing performance, thanks to the pilot's expert handling of the aircraft. Overall, the RJ85 landing was an exemplary demonstration of the aircraft's capabilities and the pilot's skill in executing a safe and controlled touchdown.
