Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 42 %, −0.62 points

Next time

Departure

Use smoother, smaller aileron inputs to keep the wings level and hold bank angle near wings-level during the climb.

What happened: During the climb, bank angle rose to 13°, more roll than the climb out called for.

Watch for: Attitude indicator: wings level during the climb

See Departure Climb 2

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.

Flight narrative

The F-35A Lightning II took off from runway 31 at KBIS Bismarck Municipal Airport, covering a takeoff distance of 1,054 meters, which is 64% of the runway length. The aircraft lifted off at a speed of 193 knots, and the local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 10 knots from 249 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 9 knots and a headwind of 4 knots.

As the aircraft climbed, it started its enroute climb 1 mile southeast of Bismarck, rising from an altitude of 1,959 feet above sea level to 2,827 feet above sea level, an increase of 868 feet in less than 1 minute, while covering a distance of 1 nautical mile. The enroute level cruise began 1 mile southwest of KBIS Bismarck Municipal Airport and lasted for 29 minutes, covering a distance of 148 nautical miles.

The final approach to runway 31 at KPIR Pierre Regional Airport was made from the southeast, heading 321.0 degrees at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,055 feet above ground level. The aircraft landed on the runway, which had a length of 2,097 meters, and had a good threshold height. However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 197 knots for the first landing attempt.

For the second landing attempt, the threshold speed was a little below the target at 132 knots. The touchdown distance was good at 106 meters, and the touchdown speed was also good at 126 knots. However, the touchdown rate was heavy at -682 feet per minute. The runway touchdown position was significantly misaligned by 15.4 meters from the centerline, and the runway rollout alignment was also significantly misaligned by 44.5 meters from the centerline.

The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of 19 degrees Celsius and a wind speed of 22 knots from 41 degrees, resulting in a crosswind of 22 knots and a headwind of 3 knots. The total landing distance was 1,225 meters, which is 58% of the runway length. The taxiing to the parking from the runway took 2 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 160 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 36 minutes, with a fuel consumption of -8 kilograms.

Landing Summary

The F-35A Lightning II aircraft successfully landed on runway 31 at KPIR Pierre Regional Airport, but with some notable deviations from optimal landing procedures. The aircraft approached the runway from the southeast, heading 321.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,055 feet above ground level (agl). The landing was executed on a runway with a length of 2,097 meters, which provided sufficient space for the aircraft to touch down safely.

However, the threshold speed was excessively high at 197 kt, indicating that the pilot may have been unable to slow down the aircraft sufficiently before reaching the runway threshold. This could be attributed to various factors, including the aircraft's speed at the start of the final approach or the pilot's decision-making during the approach. On the other hand, the threshold speed was a little below target at 132 kt during the second landing, suggesting that the pilot was able to adjust their approach to achieve a more optimal speed.

The touchdown distance of 106 meters was considered good, and the touchdown speed of 126 kt was also within acceptable limits. However, the touchdown rate of -682 feet per minute (fpm) was heavy, indicating that the aircraft may have touched down with a higher rate of descent than desired. This could have resulted in a bumpy ride for the pilot and potentially caused damage to the aircraft.

One of the most significant deviations from optimal landing procedures was the runway touchdown position, which was significantly misaligned by 15.4 meters from the centerline. This could have resulted in a longer rollout distance and increased the risk of veering off the runway. The runway rollout alignment was also significantly misaligned by 44.5 meters from the centerline, further exacerbating the issue.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 19°C and a wind speed of 22 kt at 41°. The crosswind component was 22 kt, while the headwind component was 3 kt. These conditions may have contributed to the difficulties experienced by the pilot during the landing.

Overall, while the F-35A Lightning II aircraft successfully landed on runway 31 at KPIR Pierre Regional Airport, the landing was not without its challenges. The pilot's ability to adjust their approach and landing procedures to compensate for the adverse weather conditions and the aircraft's performance was crucial in ensuring a safe landing. However, the deviations from optimal landing procedures highlighted in this report suggest that further training and practice may be necessary to improve the pilot's skills and the aircraft's performance.
