The flight began with a departure roll from runway 30 at Mojave Airport (KMHV), where the aircraft, a Mig-29 fighter, took off with a takeoff distance of 4,122 feet, which is 37% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 180 knots. At the time of departure, the local weather conditions were characterized by a temperature of 65°F and a wind speed of 4 knots at 269 degrees, resulting in a 3-knot headwind and a 3-knot crosswind.
As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile north of Mojave, California. The climb took place from an initial altitude of 3,606 feet above sea level to a maximum altitude of 17,464 feet, an increase of 13,858 feet in just 6 minutes, covering a distance of 18 nautical miles. The climb was a testament to the Mig-29's impressive rate of climb.
After reaching the desired altitude, the aircraft began its enroute descent 4 miles southeast of Psk Ranch Airport (9CA0) in Tehachapi, California. The descent took place from an altitude of 17,433 feet to 2,925 feet, a decrease of 14,508 feet in just 3 minutes, covering a distance of 22 nautical miles. This rapid descent was a demonstration of the Mig-29's exceptional rate of descent.
The final approach to runway 30 at KMHV Mojave Airport was made from the southeast, heading 314.0 degrees at an altitude of 101 feet above ground level and a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway threshold. The landing was made on a runway with a length of 10,998 feet, and the threshold speed was 182 knots.
The touchdown point was 465 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 158 knots and a touchdown rate of -61 feet per minute, which was considered excellent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 24 feet from the centerline. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of 65°F and a wind speed of 3 knots at 226 degrees, resulting in a 3-knot crosswind and a 0-knot headwind.
The total landing distance was 5,809 feet, which is 53% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 29 feet from the centerline. After landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area from the runway in 4 minutes, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
The total flight distance was 45 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 14 minutes. The aircraft used a total of -8 pounds of fuel during the flight.

The Mig-29 fighter aircraft successfully landed on runway 30 at KMHV Mojave Airport, demonstrating a high level of proficiency in its flight operations. The aircraft approached the runway from the south-east, heading 314.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 101 feet above ground level (agl). This approach was executed with precision, as indicated by the good threshold height and adherence to the threshold speed of 182 knots.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft landed 465 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 158 knots. The touchdown rate was impressive, with a rate of -61 feet per minute (fpm), showcasing the pilot's exceptional control and skill in managing the aircraft's descent. However, the runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 24 feet from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the ideal landing spot.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were favorable, with a temperature of 65°F and a wind speed of 3 knots from 226°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component of 3 knots and a headwind of 0 knots. The total landing distance of 5,809 feet was 53% of the runway length, indicating a relatively short landing roll. Although the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 29 feet from the centreline, this deviation was minor and did not compromise the overall safety of the landing.
Overall, the Mig-29's landing performance at KMHV Mojave Airport was impressive, with the aircraft demonstrating a high level of precision and control throughout the approach and landing phases. The pilot's skills and experience were evident in the smooth execution of the landing, and the aircraft's performance was well within the acceptable limits.
