Landing on runway 01 at KSZL Whiteman Air Force Base in the B-2 Spirit

Landing Score 96.51 %

Landing Summary

The B-2 Spirit aircraft successfully landed at Whiteman Air Force Base's runway 01, achieving a score of 96.5%. The final approach was initiated from the south, with the aircraft heading 1.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,307 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's approach was characterized by a good threshold height, indicating that the pilot maintained a suitable altitude prior to touchdown.

Upon landing, the aircraft demonstrated good threshold speed, touching down at 132 knots. The touchdown distance was also within acceptable limits, measuring 1,397 feet. The touchdown speed of 126 knots was satisfactory, and the aircraft's descent rate of -233 feet per minute (fpm) was fair, indicating a slightly steeper-than-ideal descent. However, this did not significantly impact the overall performance of the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were moderate, with a temperature of 37°F and a wind speed of 11 knots from a direction of 310°. The crosswind component was 10 knots, while the headwind component was 5 knots. Despite these conditions, the aircraft's runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained a stable and controlled approach.

The total landing distance of 3,974 feet was 32% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control and stability during the landing roll. Overall, the B-2 Spirit's landing performance was impressive, with the aircraft demonstrating good control and stability throughout the approach and touchdown phases.
