Top opportunity

Work on the flare

Arrival Landing

Arrive slow and the sink rate at the threshold is already above schedule, the flare is short because there is no energy to extend it, and the touchdown is hard in a way that feels exactly like a late flare. Diagnosing a slow arrival as a late flare is the catastrophic misread: you respond by flaring earlier, which bleeds more speed, which makes the next one worse. The tiebreaker is threshold speed against VRef, not feel. Never diagnose a flare without it.

The F-35B Lightning II then began its departure roll on runway 01L, accelerating to a liftoff speed of 210 knots within 852 meters, which was 30% of the runway's length. The local weather conditions at the time of takeoff were characterized by a temperature of 38 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 19 knots from 339 degrees, resulting in a 7-knot crosswind and an 18-knot headwind.

The enroute level cruise phase began overhead Forestville, Maryland, and lasted for 1 minute, covering a distance of 8 nautical miles. The aircraft then initiated an enroute climb from 1 mile east of Washington, D.C., increasing its altitude from 362 feet above sea level to 1,136 feet in 2 minutes, while covering 13 nautical miles. This climb phase was followed by another level cruise phase, which started overhead Alexandria, Virginia, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering 10 nautical miles. The aircraft then began another climb phase, this time from overhead Huntington, Virginia, increasing its altitude from 1,251 feet to 1,999 feet in 2 minutes, while covering 18 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 01L at KADW Joint Base Andrews was initiated from the south, with the aircraft descending from 1,731 feet above ground level at a distance of 4 nautical miles. The landing was completed on the runway, which had a length of 2,839 meters. The touchdown speed was slightly higher than the threshold speed, at 145 knots, and the touchdown rate was heavy, at -1,054 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was also misaligned by 8.5 meters from the centerline. The total flight distance was 55 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 1,794 kilograms of fuel during the 10-minute flight.

Landing Summary

The F-35B Lightning II touched down on runway 01L at KADW Joint Base Andrews, demonstrating a good threshold height as it aligned with the runway environment. The threshold speed was well-managed, with the aircraft achieving a speed of 156 kt, within the acceptable range for a safe landing. However, the touchdown speed of 145 kt was slightly above the optimal value, indicating a slight loss of control during the final stages of the approach.

As the aircraft made contact with the runway, it exhibited a very heavy touchdown rate of -1,054 fpm, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed. The touchdown distance of 202 m was within the acceptable range, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft's descent. Unfortunately, the runway touchdown position was misaligned by 8.5 m from the centreline, which may have been a result of the crosswind conditions. The local weather conditions, with a temperature of 34 °C and a wind speed of 21 kt at 340 °, presented a challenging environment for the landing.

Despite the minor issues with touchdown speed and alignment, the overall performance of the F-35B Lightning II during the landing was satisfactory, with a score of 86.2%. The pilot's ability to manage the aircraft's speed and descent rate was evident, and the good threshold height and touchdown distance demonstrated a high level of proficiency. However, the heavy touchdown rate and centreline misalignment indicate areas for improvement in future training exercises.

Flare

The flare strayed well off the target profile. The flare took all the sink out 54 ft agl above the runway and the aircraft then dropped the rest of the way, 568 fpm of sink coming back. Touchdown was 206 m past the threshold. Hold the attitude and let it settle rather than pushing - a balloon is almost always excess speed, so the fix is on the approach, not in the flare.
