Two stabilised approach gates, each with five checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 2,144 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 84 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a swift taxiing process from the parking area to the runway, taking less than a minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The F-35A Lightning II then took off from runway 29 at St. John's International Airport (CYYT), with a takeoff distance of 879 meters, which accounted for 34% of the runway. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 192 knots, with a local temperature of 31 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 16 knots at 270 degrees.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it reached an altitude of 1,736 feet above sea level, an increase of 244 feet from the initial altitude of 1,492 feet. This climb took less than a minute and covered a distance of less than a nautical mile. The aircraft then entered a level cruise, flying at a steady altitude for 5 minutes and covering a distance of 38 nautical miles.
The flight continued with a series of climbs and descents, with the aircraft reaching an altitude of 10,339 feet above sea level, an increase of 8,243 feet from the previous altitude. This climb took 9 minutes and covered a distance of 81 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered another level cruise, flying at a steady altitude for 27 minutes and covering a distance of 268 nautical miles.
As the flight approached its destination, the aircraft began its descent, dropping from an altitude of 10,242 feet above sea level to 394 feet above sea level, a decrease of 9,848 feet. This descent took 8 minutes and covered a distance of 72 nautical miles. The aircraft then climbed again, reaching an altitude of 4,019 feet above sea level, an increase of 3,582 feet from the previous altitude. This climb took 2 minutes and covered a distance of 9 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 21 at Charlottetown Airport (CYYG) was made from the north, with the aircraft flying at a heading of 178.0 degrees at an altitude of 669 feet above ground level. However, the aircraft was forced to go-around due to an unknown reason, and it climbed to an altitude of 593 feet above ground level.
The aircraft then made a successful landing on runway 21, with a touchdown distance of 87 meters and a touchdown speed of 151 knots. The touchdown rate was heavy, at -888 feet per minute, and the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.6 meters from the centreline. The local temperature was 27 degrees Celsius, and the wind speed was 16 knots at 180 degrees.
After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, taking 1 minute and covering a distance of less than a nautical mile. The total flight distance was 497 nautical miles, and the flight took 59 minutes to complete. The aircraft used 6,290 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The F-35A Lightning II aircraft successfully landed at CYYG Charlottetown Airport, but with some notable deviations from ideal performance. The aircraft approached the runway from the north, heading 178.0° at 4 nautical miles and 669 feet above ground level (agl). The final approach score was 87.3%, indicating a good overall performance.
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on runway 21, which has a length of 2,144 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was also satisfactory at 154 knots. The touchdown distance was within acceptable limits at 87 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 151 knots. However, the touchdown rate was quite heavy, at -888 feet per minute (fpm), which may indicate a slightly aggressive approach.
The aircraft's runway touchdown position was misaligned by 11.6 meters from the centerline, which could be a concern for safety and control during the landing roll. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 27°C and a headwind of 16 knots at 180°. The crosswind was minimal at 2 knots, which helped to reduce the impact of any wind-related issues.
The total landing distance was 961 meters, which is 45% of the runway length. This is a relatively short distance, indicating a good performance in terms of braking and control during the landing roll. However, the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 10.9 meters from the centerline, which may indicate some issues with the aircraft's directional control during the landing roll.
Overall, the F-35A Lightning II aircraft demonstrated good performance during the landing, but with some notable deviations from ideal performance. The heavy touchdown rate and misaligned runway touchdown position are areas that may require attention to improve the aircraft's overall landing performance.
