Landing on runway 01 at KSZL Whiteman Air Force Base in the B-2 Spirit

Landing Score 96.71 %

Landing Summary

The B-2 Spirit aircraft successfully landed at Whiteman Air Force Base's runway 01, achieving a score of 96.7%. The final approach was initiated from the south, with a heading of 3.0° at 2 nautical miles and 735 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft demonstrated good control and precision during the approach, ultimately touching down on the runway.

The touchdown point was located 509 feet beyond the designated touchdown zone, which is a relatively minor deviation. However, the touchdown speed of 142 knots was within the acceptable range, and the touchdown rate of -134 feet per minute (fpm) was smooth, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was also very good, suggesting that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the landing.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 77°F and a wind speed of 9 knots from a direction of 50°. The crosswind component was 6 knots, while the headwind component was 7 knots. These conditions did not appear to significantly impact the landing, as the aircraft was able to maintain control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown.

The total landing distance of 5,426 feet was 44% of the runway length, which is a relatively short distance considering the aircraft's size and weight. The runway rollout alignment was also very good, indicating that the aircraft was properly aligned with the runway during the rollout phase. Overall, the landing was successful, and the aircraft demonstrated good control and precision throughout the approach and touchdown.
