The A10C Thunderbolt II aircraft successfully landed at YMES RAAF Base East Sale, achieving an overall score of 81.8%. The final approach to runway 27 was initiated from the east, heading 279.0° at a distance of 4 nautical miles and an altitude of 1,416 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft successfully touched down on the runway, but with a touchdown point that was very long, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway.
The touchdown speed of 120 knots was within the acceptable range, indicating a good control of the aircraft during the landing phase. The touchdown rate of -80 feet per minute (fpm) was also excellent, demonstrating a smooth and controlled descent. However, the threshold height at 68 ft agl was above the target, and the threshold speed was slightly below the target at 147 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were favorable, with a temperature of 15°C, a wind speed of 1 knot at 264°, and a crosswind of 0 knots. The headwind of 1 knot was minimal, which contributed to a relatively smooth landing. The total landing distance of 1,530 meters was 69% of the available runway length, indicating a slightly longer than expected landing roll.
The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 8.8 meters from the centerline, which was a minor deviation from the desired path. Overall, the landing was successful, but with some minor deviations from the ideal performance. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth and controlled descent, but there is room for improvement in terms of touchdown point and runway alignment.
