The DC Designs F4 Blue Angels successfully landed at KNUW Whidbey Island Naval Air Station (Ault Field) on runway 25, achieving a score of 92.9%. The aircraft approached the runway from the east, heading 267.0° at 1 nm and 509 ft above ground level (agl). The pilot maintained a good threshold height, which is crucial for a safe landing.
Upon reaching the threshold speed of 147 kt, the pilot was reminded to be cautious not to stall, as the speed was well below the target. The touchdown point was 332 ft beyond the touchdown zone, which is slightly off-center but not a major concern. The touchdown speed of 129 kt was within the acceptable range, indicating a smooth and controlled descent.
The touchdown rate of -249 fpm was fair, suggesting that the pilot could have maintained a more gradual descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 16 ft from the centerline, which may have contributed to the slightly off-center touchdown point.
The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 68°F and a gentle wind of 3 kt at 225°. The crosswind and headwind were minimal, at 2 kt each, which made the landing even more manageable. The total landing distance of 3,692 ft was 46% of the runway length, which is a reasonable distance considering the aircraft's performance.
One of the notable aspects of the landing was the excellent runway rollout alignment, which was very good. This indicates that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase, ensuring a safe and stable exit from the runway. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot demonstrated good skills and judgment in navigating the aircraft to a safe touchdown.
