The HVN-4B GLOBAL HAWK aircraft successfully landed at Beale Air Force Base, KBAB, with an impressive score of 99.8%. The aircraft was approaching the runway from the south, heading 342.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 192 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft's final approach was executed with precision, and it landed safely on runway 33, which has a length of 3,662 meters.
The threshold height was good, indicating that the aircraft was at the correct altitude as it approached the runway. The threshold speed of 116 knots was also met, demonstrating the pilot's skill and control over the aircraft. The touchdown point was 48 meters beyond the touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation but still within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 114 knots was slightly below the threshold speed, and the touchdown rate of -81 feet per minute (fpm) was excellent, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C and a wind speed of 4 knots from 200°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, and the tailwind component was 3 knots, which had a negligible impact on the landing. The total landing distance of 1,538 meters was 42% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft touched down and came to a stop within a reasonable distance.
The runway rollout alignment was very good, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the critical phase of landing. Overall, the landing was executed with precision and skill, and the aircraft's performance was impressive. The 99.8% score is a testament to the pilot's expertise and the aircraft's capabilities.
