The flight began with a departure roll from runway 28L at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO). The Boeing F/A-18E aircraft accelerated down the runway, covering a distance of 1,918 meters, which was 57% of the runway's length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 238 knots, marking the start of its ascent.
As the aircraft climbed, it encountered local weather conditions of 30°C temperature and a wind speed of 7 knots from a direction of 20°. The crosswind component was 7 knots, while the headwind component was 1 knot. The aircraft climbed from an initial altitude of 1,036 feet above sea level to 7,992 feet above sea level, an increase of 6,956 feet, in just 2 minutes. This climb covered a distance of 7 nautical miles, with the aircraft passing overhead San Bruno, California.
After reaching its cruising altitude, the aircraft began its descent, starting 2 miles northeast of Visitacion Valley, California. The descent from 7,945 feet above sea level to 62 feet above sea level, a decrease of 7,883 feet, was completed in 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nautical miles.
The aircraft landed on runway 19R at KSFO, with a runway length of 2,236 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 131 knots. The touchdown distance was 253 meters, and the touchdown speed was 100 knots, both of which were considered good. However, the touchdown rate was very heavy at -1,463 feet per minute, indicating a rapid descent.
The runway touchdown position was excessively misaligned by 70.7 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned by 238.1 meters from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were 27°C temperature and a wind speed of 14 knots from a direction of 300°, with a crosswind component of 14 knots and a tailwind component of 1 knot.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway, taking 15 minutes to cover a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 16 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 6 minutes. The aircraft used 803 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The Boeing F/A-18E aircraft successfully landed on runway 19R at San Francisco International Airport (KSFO), but with some notable areas for improvement. The aircraft scored 57.3% on this landing, indicating that there were some deviations from optimal landing procedures.
The touchdown speed of 100 kt was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown distance of 253 meters was also satisfactory. However, the touchdown rate was excessively heavy at -1,463 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate that the pilot could have applied more gentle braking or used reverse thrust more effectively.
One of the major concerns with this landing was the runway touchdown position, which was excessively misaligned by 70.7 meters from the centerline. This could have been due to a combination of factors, including crosswind, tailwind, or pilot error. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 27°C and a wind speed of 14 kt at 300°, with a crosswind of 14 kt and a tailwind of 1 kt.
The total landing distance of 1,240 meters was 55% of the runway length, which is within the acceptable range. However, the runway rollout alignment was also excessively misaligned by 238.1 meters from the centerline, which could have been due to the same factors that contributed to the initial touchdown position misalignment.
Overall, while the Boeing F/A-18E aircraft successfully landed on runway 19R at KSFO, there are areas for improvement in terms of touchdown rate, runway touchdown position, and runway rollout alignment. The pilot should focus on applying more gentle braking and using reverse thrust more effectively to reduce the touchdown rate, and also work on maintaining a more accurate centerline alignment during the landing roll.
