Top opportunity

Keep the approach speed on target

Arrival Landing

Every knot above Vref is stored kinetic energy, and energy stored at the threshold must be dissipated in ground effect before the aeroplane will stop flying. Because kinetic energy scales with the square of speed, the excess you must dissipate grows fast. At a 45-knot approach, five knots hot is over a tenth more speed and roughly a quarter more energy to get rid of in ground effect. This is why the fix is never in the flare. It was decided three miles earlier, on final, at the airspeed indicator.

Flight narrative

A Boeing F/A-18E fighter jet departed from runway 29 at the LLJR Jerusalem airport, achieving liftoff at a speed of 142 knots after covering 29% of the runway, which required a takeoff distance of 576 meters. The local weather conditions at the time were characterized by a temperature of 16 degrees Celsius and a very light headwind of 1 kilometer per hour blowing from a direction of 269 degrees.

The fighter jet began its enroute climb after reaching a height of 2,824 feet above sea level, and over the next 4 minutes, it ascended to a height of 9,998 feet, covering a distance of 16 nautical miles. The climb rate was significant, with an increase of 7,174 feet in just 4 minutes, demonstrating the impressive capabilities of the F/A-18E.

As it continued its flight, the aircraft leveled off briefly over the Nuba area, before beginning a short descent. This was followed by another climb phase, this time from a height of 847 feet to 4,409 feet over the Gaza Strip. However, the aircraft quickly began another descent, but only lost 2,986 feet in 2 minutes, leveling off again over the LLAZ Gush Katif Airport in Khan Yunis.

The fighter jet initiated yet another climb phase, and within just 2 minutes, it had ascended to a height of 14,277 feet. However, this climb was followed by a steep descent, during which the aircraft lost a significant 13,418 feet in a mere 2 minutes, before finally touching down near Al Burayj in the Gaza Strip.

The approach and touchdown phase of the flight was notable for its speed, with the fighter jet touching down at 561 knots, which is well above the normal landing speed. The touchdown rate was also very heavy, at -2,853 feet per minute, but the touchdown distance was reasonable at 279 meters.

Following a good landing rollout, the aircraft was brought to a stop, taxiing to the parking area from the runway in under 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. Overall, the flight covered a total distance of 63 nautical miles, took 16 minutes, and consumed 1,759 kilograms of fuel.

Landing report
Landing on runway XX at 3 miles west of Al Burayj (Gaza Strip, ) in the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet
Landing Score 47.76 %
Landing Summary

The Boeing F/A-18E aircraft approached Al Burayj in the Gaza Strip, experiencing a significant decrease in altitude from 47 feet above ground level (agl) to 0 feet agl, indicating a rapid descent. This descent was particularly concerning as it happened in 0 seconds, suggesting an unusually steep and accelerated approach.

Upon touchdown, the aircraft touched down 3 miles west of Al Burayj, but its touchdown speed was excessively fast at 561 knots. This excessive speed may be indicative of a pilot miscalculation, an issue with aircraft instruments, or an unexpected factor affecting the aircraft's speed. Furthermore, the touchdown rate was extremely heavy at -2,853 feet per minute (fpm), which may have put additional stress on the aircraft's landing gear and potentially led to reduced control over the aircraft's descent.

Fortunately, the touchdown distance was satisfactory at 279 meters, suggesting that the pilot managed to maintain control long enough to execute a relatively safe landing. This distance would have provided enough room for the aircraft to come to a stop, even with the excessive speed and weight of the touchdown.

The local weather conditions during the landing may have played a role in the aircraft's performance. A temperature of 15°C and relatively low wind speeds of 1 kilometer per hour (kt) in both headwind and crosswind directions would have likely facilitated a stable landing. However, factors such as the aircraft's instrumentation, pilot experience, or any equipment malfunctions might have contributed to the excessive touchdown speed and heavy descent.

After touchdown, the aircraft continued its rollout at a distance of 376 meters, eventually coming to a complete stop at an altitude of 0 feet above sea level (asl). While the landing rollout was successful, this excessive speed may have raised concerns about potential damage to the landing gear and runway.

In summary, the Boeing F/A-18E aircraft experienced a challenging landing at Al Burayj in the Gaza Strip. The excessive touchdown speed and heavy descent rate raise several concerns about pilot performance, aircraft instrumentation, or other factors contributing to this outcome.
