The flight began with a departure roll from runway 21R at Nellis Air Force Base, also known as KLSV. The aircraft, a Griffin, took off with a takeoff distance of 1,064 feet, which accounted for 11% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 147 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 60 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 2 knots from a direction of 269 degrees.

As the aircraft climbed away from the base, it began its enroute climb, which started overhead KLSV Nellis Air Force Base. The climb took the aircraft from an altitude of 2,884 feet above sea level to 2,169 feet above sea level, an increase of 715 feet in just 5 minutes. During this time, the aircraft covered a distance of 4 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 03R at KLSV Nellis Air Force Base was made from the southwest, with the aircraft heading at an angle of 40.0 degrees. At this point, the aircraft was 3 nautical miles from the runway and at an altitude of 321 feet above ground level.

However, the pilot decided to execute a go-around at an altitude of 642 feet above ground level. This decision was likely made due to the aircraft's position and speed not being suitable for a safe landing.

The aircraft then made a second approach to runway 03R, and this time it landed successfully. The touchdown point was 1,750 feet beyond the touchdown zone, and the touchdown speed was 127 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown rate was also excellent, at -85 feet per minute. Although the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline, the runway rollout alignment was very good.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 66 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 3 knots from a direction of 225 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, but there was a tailwind of 3 knots.

The total landing distance was 5,716 feet, which accounted for 57% of the runway. The total flight distance was 9 nautical miles, and the flight used -4 pounds of fuel.

Landing on runway 03R at KLSV Nellis Air Force Base in the Griffin

Landing Score 87.06 %

Landing Summary

The Griffin aircraft successfully landed on runway 03R at KLSV Nellis Air Force Base, achieving a score of 77.5%. The final approach was initiated from the southwest, heading 40.0 degrees and at 3 nautical miles from the runway, with an altitude of 321 feet above ground level.

The aircraft touched down on the runway, but unfortunately, the threshold speed was excessively high at 294 knots, which is significantly above the target speed. However, the touchdown speed of 127 knots was good, indicating that the pilot successfully managed to slow down the aircraft before landing. The touchdown rate of -85 feet per minute was excellent, showing that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's descent effectively.

Despite the high threshold speed, the touchdown point was 1,750 feet beyond the touchdown zone, which is within an acceptable distance. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centerline, but this did not seem to affect the overall performance of the landing.

The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 66 degrees Fahrenheit and a wind speed of 3 knots at 225 degrees. The crosswind was negligible, and the tailwind was 3 knots, which did not appear to have any significant impact on the landing.

The total landing distance covered by the aircraft was 5,716 feet, which is 57% of the runway length of 10,048 feet. The runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot was able to control the aircraft's movement after touchdown and bring it to a stop within the designated area.

Overall, while the aircraft scored well in several areas, the excessively high threshold speed was a notable area of concern. However, the pilot's ability to control the aircraft's descent and landing effectively resulted in a successful landing, despite the high threshold speed.
