This flight was conducted in a P51-D Mustang aircraft, taking off from a location 1 mile south east of Altona Meadows in the State of Victoria, Australia. The climb began at an altitude of 300 feet above sea level and reached a maximum altitude of 793 feet above sea level, an increase of 494 feet in less than 1 minute, covering a distance of less than 1 nautical mile.
As the aircraft approached the runway, it was heading in a northeasterly direction at a distance of 3 nautical miles from the runway, at an altitude of 776 feet above ground level. The pilot then initiated a go-around at an altitude of 741 feet above ground level, before attempting a landing on runway 22 at YMPC RAAF Williams, Point Cook Base.
The runway in question was 1,135 meters long, and the threshold height at 62 feet above ground level was above the target height. The threshold speed was slightly above the target speed at 132 knots. The touchdown point was very long, using more than 50% of the available runway, and the touchdown speed was a little fast at 103 knots. The touchdown rate was fair at -219 feet per minute.
The runway touchdown position was misaligned by 12.7 meters from the centreline, and the runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 13.1 meters from the centreline. The local weather conditions at the time of the flight included a temperature of 17 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 12 knots at 243 degrees. The crosswind was 3 knots, and the headwind was 12 knots.
The total landing distance was 943 meters, which accounted for 83% of the runway length. The total flight distance was 3 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 3 minutes. The aircraft used 14 kilograms of fuel during the flight.

The aircraft in question, a P51-D Mustang, has successfully landed at YMPC RAAF Williams, Point Cook Base, with a score of 83.6%. The final approach to runway 22 was initiated from the north east, heading 220.0° at a distance of 3 nautical miles and an altitude of 776 feet above ground level (agl).
Upon landing, the aircraft touched down on the runway, but unfortunately, the touchdown point was very long, utilizing more than 50% of the available runway. This indicates that the pilot may have been unable to fully utilize the runway's length, potentially due to a slightly fast touchdown speed of 103 knots. The touchdown speed was a little above the target speed, which could have contributed to the long touchdown point.
The threshold height at 62 feet agl was above the target, suggesting that the pilot may have been unable to maintain a stable approach path. However, the threshold speed was only slightly above the target at 132 knots, indicating that the pilot was able to maintain control of the aircraft during the approach.
The local weather conditions at the time of the landing were characterized by a temperature of 17°C and a wind speed of 12 knots from 243°. The crosswind component was minimal at 3 knots, while the headwind component was 12 knots, which may have contributed to the slightly fast touchdown speed.
The total landing distance was 943 meters, which is 83% of the available runway length. This indicates that the pilot was able to bring the aircraft to a stop within a reasonable distance, but the long touchdown point and slightly fast touchdown speed may have contributed to the overall score.
During the rollout, the aircraft's alignment was slightly misaligned from the centreline by 13.1 meters. This suggests that the pilot may have been unable to maintain a stable alignment during the rollout phase, potentially due to the long touchdown point and slightly fast touchdown speed.
Overall, while the landing was successful, there are areas for improvement, particularly in terms of maintaining a stable approach path, touchdown speed, and alignment during the rollout phase.
