The British Aerospace 146-100 aircraft successfully landed at KXTA Homey (Area 51) Airport, showcasing a high level of proficiency in its flight operations. The final approach to runway 33L was initiated from the south east, with the aircraft heading 335.0° at an altitude of 189 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.
Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated a good threshold height, which is a critical aspect of safe landing operations. However, the threshold speed was slightly below the target speed of 113 knots, indicating a minor deviation from the optimal landing speed. Despite this, the touchdown point was 295 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation.
The touchdown speed of 90 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -103 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was very good, which is essential for safe landing operations. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 26°C and a wind speed of 4 knots at 144°, contributed to a relatively calm landing environment.
The crosswind component was minimal at 1 knot, while the tailwind component was 4 knots, which is within the acceptable range for landing operations. The total landing distance of 1,123 meters was 20% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing distance. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing roll.
Overall, the landing operation was successful, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its flight operations. The minor deviations from the optimal landing speed and touchdown point were well within the acceptable range, and the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing roll was exemplary.
Warning: Landed with a 4 kt tailwind
