Top opportunity

Slow the descent speed

Enroute Descent

Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.

Flight narrative

The flight began with the Horten Ho229 taxiing from the parking area to the runway at KSFZ North Central State Airport, taking approximately 3 minutes to cover less than 1 nautical mile. The aircraft then departed from runway 23, with a takeoff distance of 724 feet, which accounted for 14% of the runway. The liftoff speed was 77 knots.

As the aircraft took to the skies, it encountered local weather conditions of 38°F temperature and a wind speed of 9 knots at 260°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 6 knots. The enroute climb started overhead KSFZ North Central State Airport, with the aircraft ascending from 1,284 feet above sea level to 3,349 feet, an increase of 2,065 feet in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nautical miles.

The enroute level cruise began overhead Lincoln, Rhode Island, and lasted for 2 minutes, during which the aircraft covered 11 nautical miles.

Landing on runway 22 at KUUU Newport State Airport in the Horten Ho229
Landing Score 97.08 %
Landing Summary

The Horten Ho 229 aircraft successfully landed at KUUU Newport State Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its flight operations. The final approach to runway 22 was initiated from the north east, with the aircraft heading 206.0° at an altitude of 129 feet above ground level (agl) and 0 nautical miles from the runway.

Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway with a speed of 72 knots, which was within the acceptable range. The touchdown distance of 563 feet was also satisfactory, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft throughout the descent. However, the touchdown rate of -258 feet per minute (fpm) was only fair, suggesting that the pilot could have made a smoother touchdown.

The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 12 feet from the centreline, which may have been due to a slight deviation in the pilot's approach or a minor issue with the aircraft's navigation system. Despite this, the runway rollout alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot had maintained control of the aircraft during the rollout phase.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 39°F and winds of 12 knots from 250°. The crosswind and headwind components were both 8 knots, which may have presented a challenge for the pilot. However, the aircraft's performance and the pilot's skills were sufficient to overcome these conditions and achieve a safe and successful landing.

Overall, the landing of the Horten Ho 229 at KUUU Newport State Airport was a creditable performance, with the aircraft and pilot demonstrating a high level of proficiency in their flight operations. The landing was characterized by a good touchdown speed, a satisfactory touchdown distance, and a very good runway rollout alignment. While there were some minor issues with the touchdown rate and runway alignment, these were not significant enough to detract from the overall success of the landing.
