Landing on runway 17 at CYBW Calgary / Springbank Airport in the F-35A Lightning II

Landing Score 86.36 %

Landing Summary

The F-35A Lightning II aircraft successfully landed at Calgary / Springbank Airport, achieving an overall score of 86.4%. The final approach to runway 17 was initiated from the north, with the aircraft heading 189.0° at 2 nautical miles and 731 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, which has a length of 1,524 meters.

However, there were some areas of concern during the landing. The threshold speed was excessively high at 216 knots, which may indicate a slight delay in the pilot's decision to flare. Additionally, the touchdown speed of 211 knots was also excessively fast, which could have resulted in a heavier touchdown rate. The touchdown rate was indeed heavy, at -686 feet per minute (fpm), which may have caused some stress on the aircraft's landing gear.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 3.4 meters from the centerline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's alignment during the final approach. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was perfect, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 2 knots from 270°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component, and the aircraft was able to land with a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance was 1,133 meters, which is 74% of the runway length. Overall, while there were some areas of concern during the landing, the pilot was able to successfully bring the aircraft to a stop on the runway.
