The flight began with a departure roll from runway 29R at KTOA Zamperini Field, where the aircraft, an L-39 Albatros, accelerated down the runway and lifted off at a speed of 120 kt. The takeoff distance was 1,775 ft, which was 45% of the available runway. The local weather conditions at the time of departure were characterized by a temperature of 62 °F and a wind speed of 4 kt from a direction of 269 °, resulting in a crosswind of 2 kt and a headwind of 3 kt.

As the aircraft climbed away from the airport, it began its enroute climb 1 mile south east of Redondo Beach, California. The climb was steep, with the aircraft ascending from 1,031 ft above sea level to 1,660 ft asl in just 1 minute, covering a distance of 3 nm. Following the climb, the aircraft entered a level cruise 1 mile south west of Palos Verdes Estates, where it maintained a steady altitude for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nm.

As the aircraft approached its destination, it began its enroute descent overhead San Pedro, California. The descent was steep, with the aircraft dropping from 1,974 ft asl to 542 ft asl in just 2 minutes, covering a distance of 7 nm. With the aircraft now in its final approach configuration, it began its descent towards runway 08R at KLGB Long Beach Airport (Daugherty Field), approaching from the west at a heading of 97.0 ° and at an altitude of 471 ft above ground level.

The final approach was characterized by a temperature of 59 °F and a wind speed of 4 kt from a direction of 269 °, resulting in a crosswind of 0 kt and a tailwind of 4 kt. The aircraft touched down on the runway at a speed of 105 kt, with a smooth touchdown rate of -133 fpm. However, the touchdown point was slightly long, using more than 50% of the available runway. The runway touchdown position was also slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 23 ft.

The total landing distance was 2,618 ft, which was 109% of the available runway. Following touchdown, the aircraft began its rollout, which was also slightly misaligned from the centreline, by 29 ft. The aircraft then taxied to the parking area, taking less than 1 minute and covering a distance of less than 1 nm.

In total, the flight covered a distance of 21 nm and used 1 lb of fuel, taking a total of 6 minutes to complete.

Landing on runway 08R at KLGB Long Beach Airport (Daugherty Field) in the L-39 Albatros

Landing Score 83.55 %

Landing Summary

The L-39 Albatros aircraft successfully landed at KLGB Long Beach Airport (Daugherty Field) on runway 08R. The final approach was initiated from the west, heading 97.0° at 2 nautical miles and 471 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good threshold height, which is a crucial aspect of a safe landing.

Upon touchdown, the threshold speed was found to be well above the target speed, reaching 136 knots. However, the touchdown point was quite far down the runway, utilizing more than 50% of the available 2,405-foot runway length. This indicates that the aircraft may have been slightly over-extended during the landing, resulting in a longer than necessary touchdown distance.

Despite the slightly longer touchdown distance, the touchdown speed of 105 knots was deemed good, and the touchdown rate was smooth at -133 feet per minute (fpm). This suggests that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing, ensuring a stable and controlled descent.

However, there were some minor issues with the landing alignment. The runway touchdown position was slightly misaligned by 23 feet from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was also slightly misaligned by 29 feet from the centreline. These minor deviations from the centreline may be due to factors such as crosswind or pilot error.

The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were relatively calm, with a temperature of 59°F and a wind speed of 4 knots from 269°. This resulted in a negligible crosswind component and a slight tailwind of 4 knots. The total landing distance was 2,618 feet, which is 109% of the available runway length. Overall, the landing was deemed successful, but with some minor areas for improvement.
